Well, what can I say... it was the most fun I personally had organizing DFW7 meets since March, 2002. 7 of us met up at Starbucks; we chatted for about 15 minutes outdoor under perfect weather, then our group drive to Texas Motor Speedway. We were at the staging area early, so had time to watch some of the car clubs, Viper, Prowler, Mustang, Solitice/Sky, TransAm, Diesel Ford trucks, etc., go before us. It was a blast watching the race tuned Corvettes duke it out with each other in the driving experience laps on the opposite smaller tracks, very loud, very fast, very exciting. Afterward, some of us went to Bone Daddys in Grapevine, nice. It was A TON OF FUN to be driving on the big Oval, hard to tell in the Video of our speed, we averaged between 80mph ~ 100mph. Special thanks to JohnG's lovely wife Natalie for taking the videos (see bottom of page for links). It was a great experience and what's even better is that while we enjoyed ourselves tremendously, our $30 entrance fee all went to the Childrens Charity, everyone wins here :-)

BJames38, Buck, wish you guys could have made it. I found out that you can do extra laps, just pay extra. Lurcher, thanks for setting us up; and we welcome our new member Jeremy. TxDarth, bring you wife next time, I am bringing my wife, she will enjoy it for sure. The tentative date for next Laps for Charity at TMS is May 20, 2008, DFW7 will be participating for sure!!!

Relaxing outside at Starbucks
