Is anyone planning on attending the Laps For Charity event at Texas Motor Speedway on 9/20?

oooh looks pretty fun, i might go do, depending on my schedule i guess

 

Sounds fun...I think Ill need some suspension upgrades though...

 

dude! thats so awsome! have fun and do a good thing at the same time. I think we should have a lexus group for our own time slot. Whos in?

 

I'm trying to figure out what the speed limit is going to be. It says a pace car will determine speed. And while it's for a good cause, I dont want to drive an hour to get there only to go 30 MPH around a race track!

 

well you can always periodically drop back and then race back to the pack again, right?

Either way, this sounds like fun... but will the fact that I have no performance driving background be a problem?

 

any update on pace car speed?

 

70-85 MPH depending on how well people are keeping up with the pace car. 14-16 cars on the track at a time

 

yep pace car sets the speed.. weaksauce

nice find though at keeping us posted of stuff going on around here. You do have a couple of legal options here.

TWS - 200.00 typical track day. Not only do you get to almost top out yoru car on the oval section of the track (i hit 130) but you also get to race the rest of the 2.1mi inside on a road course.

Also you can always go do the texas mile (google it) you can really hit your 142mph limiter.

btw tws and cresson both have some slots open for fall (nice cool weather) events.

 

I dont know if anyone else ended up going to this event, but it was a blast. It was quite the honor to share the track with a 911, Viper, Original Shelby Cobra, and several Vettes all at the same time. We hit 100 several times on the back straight away. I'll post a few pics shortly.

You can see my car in the reflection!

nice one buds. I like the truck that is out there

 

Thanks. The truck is actually one of the pace cars.

There were some interesting cars out there. Someone drove their Pinto around the track, saw a 70s Ford or Chevy pickup taking laps, the Red Bull Kia/Suzuki took some laps too ha.
