I wanted to do this, fortunately my new TV show found a network home and
I'll be shooting March through June.
You can get a sneak peek here.

Wish I could be in two places at once.

   Update #16
   I want to reiterate that we are getting special treatment by
   beingA able to register early.A

   Once the Driveras Edge opens the event to the general public, it will
   fill up damned near instantaneously. So, if you donat register soon,
   you willA notA get on the track.

   For all you folks who have a Pantera but are proposing yourA abackup
   car', please do your best toA bring the Pantera. After all, it _is_ a
   PanteraA event Youave got over 3 months to get it going! Thatas
   goodA motivation!

   You can pre-register here for the track event. All information should
   be there, but contact me if you have any questions.

   Thanks to those who already registered!!!
   A reminder to those who convinced me they wanted to register, but have
   not paid yeta| You owe me!
   :-)
   As mentioned in the Fun Rally initial promotion, Texas World Speedway
   is closing. We all knew it was coming for years, but this is it. Our
   event willA probably be the last one.A See info from management at the
   bottom of this email.
   The question was asked 'Are mufflers required?'
   Tom Upton races there all the time and he responded:
   "Track has same as SCCA. 104 db @ 70 ft, but I have not seen it being
   enforced even though I went to great pains to meet it."
   A
   With the drop outs, we are still heading towards 30+ Panteras. If
   despite your best intentions, you can't make it, just notify me and
   I'll take you off the list.
   Note: I have received a lot of emails and I may have missed one or two

   Yes, it is closing....
   Email to all track event organizers from TWS management:
   Greetings all,A
   The official word on 2015 is that we will be booking throughA May 31st.
   The trackA may or may not beA operating beyond that date, but ownership
   is comfortable making commitments through the end of May.
   I realize that this will put most of you in a position of having to
   book elsewhere fromA June 1A forward, which is why I asked the owners
   to give us a firm date on the closure.
   I expect increased demand on dates from this point on. Currently all
   weekends are booked through the end of 2014 with the exception ofA Aug
   30-31. For 2015 dates we will continue to operate on a "legacy"A basis,
   i.e. if your group had the 3rd weekend in March this year, you have
   first right of refusal on that same weekend next year. That means that
   all dates throughA May 31, 2015are set as tentative already. You
   canA view the 2015 schedule on our website
   atA [6]http://www.texasworldspeedway.com/the-track/track-schedule.htmlA
    andA scroll forward to 2015.
   Note that weekends that were open in 2014 have been filled with groups
   that had previously requested new/additional dates, in the order that
   they were received.
   This is important: I need a confirmation for your proposed 2015 dates
   by nextA Friday Aug 29th. If you are, or have made other plans for next
   Spring and do not plan to carry over one or more of your
   2014A weekend's) I need to know now. We already have groups asking to
   come back to TWS for one final event, and some of our current customers
   are asking for additional dates. If there will be openings in the
   SpringA schedule due to a change in your club's plans we need to know
   that asap please.
   Likewise, if you want to change, trade or add an additional weekend or
   want to extend your weekend to Friday orA MondayA (or more) please let
   me know asap. I will do what I can to accommodate.
