Default Coming to Dallas for buisness/Pleasure... Money runs?

If anyone is interested please PM me do not discuss this on the forum. Just looking to see if any big dogs wanna play. We are leaving Las Vegas and heading to Dallas. Car we will be bringing is a Supra. We will then make a trip to Austin after we are finished here in Dallas with our work. We already have some big dogs in Austin wanting to have some friendly money runs.

Dead stop or Hwy is good.

Thanks and regards DFW!

I'll be at Motosrports Ranch November 11 and 12.
If you think you can hang with a bone stock LT1 in a 96 Firebird, bring it on.

All I see is a challenge and some bold talk.

I responded in kind and we'll see if he can walk the walk ...

I'll need to know ahead of time what your transponder number is so that I can get it to the track's timing and scoring guy. And we'll need to figure out which session would be the money session. I would be OK with the very first one on Saturday. But would also allow you an oppurtunity to tune your suspension some. Gotta make it fair.

So, how about the firt session after lunch on Saturday? That would give you about 45 minutes of track time to get dialed in.

Oh ... and you need to contact www.thedriversedge.net and enter the event. Track time ain't free.

I've ran against Supras before ... they are definitely tough ... they don't last too long, but they are fast for a little while.

Mitch,

Ease off the walk, and up the talk. It makes for better reading threads!

I thought for sure a thread like this would follow suit with the other half dozen and make 4-5 pages .

Hi. My car will never see the AutoX track. If I wanted to Auto X I would buy a C6 Z06. Keep on racing those miata's at the track though.

In his sarcastic tone, he told me to continue to race Miatas.

From that, I can only assume he thinks that is about as fast as I am and yet, he is reluctant to nut up enough to race me.

Could I deduce that this phantom Supra is no faster than a Miata?

hmmm ...

I think you could deduct that its another dyno happy car that races from a role because the driver can't do his job that well. Its not "setup" for the track. Straight or corners. Its a specially tuned "highway" suspension .
