Theres a McDonalds on the 635/Macarthur intersection? Didn't know that, i guess ill have to find it. I can't wait for the auto-x...gona be kick ass:redspot

Got some friend's going, including a super charged mini and a 318 w/ every possible suspension mod and body brace possible...

Yea, but if your going tell me, hopefully ill see some familair faces :)

cool, if i dont have to work saturday i WILL be there :D

Kick ass man, you better be there, i want to see that beast in action :)

mine's not much of a beast but u will definitely see some beasts at the autoX :D

btw, the chapter is gonna try and have more autoXs at the Texas Motor Speedway from next year onwards, so no more 85 mile drive for autoX :)

Thank god, i went to the texas motor speedway auto-x and it was nice that it was so close to everyone etc. Ive heard however that the texas motor speedway charges and arm and a leg for its services and pavement...

true, the MW site is app $500 for rent where as i think TMS is app $2000. plus u have to have an EMS and a tow truck there which u have to pay for and if u go past 5PM, u gotta pay them 4 overtime.

well I've never been to one but I'm down if I can get my brakes done Fri. night..... if not I'll need to catch a ride out there or to McDs. what time is it another morning event or an afternoon thing?

LSC auto-x's are usually all day events. You get 4 runs in the morning and 4 runs in the afternoon.

Hey Rahul, it looks like I'm gonna be able to make it after all this weekend so you better be there. I need someone on my level to challenge!!!

And now they're forecasting rain for saturday:lightning
Vince

i am gonna try my best to be there, i just hope i dont have to work :( i just checked the forecast, rain in the AM :mad:

here are the directions, Happy B'day :)


from the lsc website:
------------------
There are two routes from the DFW Metroplex...
1) Take I20 West to Exit 414 (Hwy 180).
From the point you exit from I20 onto Hwy 180 the remainder of the trip
takes about 30 minutes..
Also note that there are often cops that have speed traps on this route so
if you go this route watch your speed on 180.
Take Hwy 180 thru the city of Weatherford, continuing on past Cool and into
Mineral Wells.
After you pass Subway on the left, you will come to a 3 way stoplight that
is FM 1195. Turn south (L) at the stoplight for FM 1195 to get to the airport.
The next four way stop sign is FM 1821. There is a brick sign for Mineral
Wells Airport on the SE corner. There is a water tower to the left..Turn Left.

2) The route I favor is to stay on I20 to exit 394 ( CR 113)...
Take 113 N into Milsap... and after the railroad tracks turn left onto
FM3028.
Take 3028 to FM1195 and turn right to go NB on 1195
Go NB on 1195 until you come to a stop sign and see the brick Mineral Wells
airport sign on the SE corner and a water tower on your right. This is FM1821.
Turn Right.
Once onto 1821 turn right at the first fork (Harvey Road) go left at the
next fork, (Airport Road) and then take the left fork at the next road... you
will pass a hangar and go onto the edge of the autocross tarmac...
