I'm out for this one - have other plans. Y'all have fun!

What part of Dallas and what time do you have to be at work?

It takes me 1.5-1.75 hours to drive from Mineral Wells to my house in Murphy (east of Plano). I typically get home from an NTAKS event 4-6pm, depending on how late the event runs.

I would not want to go to work after getting up well before dawn and spending all day in Mineral Wells at an autocross, but I am old and lazy.

It turns out that S2KI will let you embed a Facebook image using the URL, so here is the course map. BTW, I really think we need to loose about half of the slalom cones on the back in favor of a straight!

I haven't done Mineral Wells in a while; this should be fun! Washed my S yesterday, and today she gets waxed to shed cone blood.

See you there,

Al

Sheesh ... only 26 registered. Is there a minimum number of registrations for the event to make?

Not gonna make this one. Looks like a fun course too. Unfortunately it's the same date as the start of bow season.

I am with you on giving us a chance to generate a little more speed on the back.

Concerning the quantity of people, we have enough to run the event and I expect more will sign up before registration closes Friday evening.
