Don't know, there will be a large Saturn Sky group out there, always is. As for my Solstice friends, I haven't asked them about it. I will check.

I'm game for going out anytime or meeting up with everyone on this side of town and driving over together.

It doesn't look like we will have enough people for a "club" group. Did you guys still want to do this?

Guys I am going to have to bail on this time. The start time at 5P conflicts with something I had planned previously. I really want to do this, but alas it is still impossible, even in an RX8 to be two places at once.

Even if you can't get 12 together for a reserved time, you can get there and run together and they will hopefully put you with like minded drivers (they seem to try to do that)

Y'all have a good time and someone take some pics.

From what it sounds like they do this every once in awhile so there will be another chance to do it. Maybe then we can get a group to go.

Not really....just show up I think, I don't know how it works so I don't know where we could meet up at once we go to the infield. Do we need to meet up before going in to be in a group together? I too can't wait to get my pic in victory lane that will be totally awesome.

Ok. Since we will have to be a part of the "general public" event that starts at 7 - do we all want to meet up in Grapevine at 6:15 or so and head over in a group? At least we'll know that there will be a couple of 8's on the track together with all the minivans!

Who all is still going anyway?

I'll be there but meeting there would be a bit out of the way for me plus I know a somewhat twisty road I plan to take off the highway to go there that should be nice. Does anyone know what type of payment they accept there?

That was so awesome!! I can't wait to do it again! Glad to meet a few people there. I got up to 100 on the back straight going into turn 3, man those banked turns are sweet. I averaged close to 80 or so through turn 1 and 2 a little faster through 3 and 4 and close to 100 on the straights. That was a great experience can't wait to go again, next time I'm buying more laps!
