For those of you who want to pay a visit to the Driveway Austin track on Friday afternoon, here's what I have arranged with Bill Dolahite, the track owner...
12:30 UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 2:00 LUNCH AT THE OASIS
2:00 TO 2:45 TRAVEL TO DRIVEWAY AUSTIN (it's about 24 miles from The Oasis, over towards Austin Airport. Quite close to I35 for the drive back to The Marriott afterwards. I have printed up 40 or so maps and instructions from The Oasis to The Driveway, and since no-one knows me from a bar of soap, I will get them to Dee Walters on Thursday so you can pick up a map from Dee)
2:30 TO 3:30 RECEPTION AND REGISTRATION
3:30 TO 4:00 OVERVIEW OF FACILITY AND FUTURE PLANS
4:00 TO 5:00 TRACK WALK AND BRIEFING
5:00 TO 5:30 PACE LAP TOUR OF FULLTRACK AND POSSIBLE PHOTO OPS
5:30 - 6:00 FUN 2 LAP SOLO COMPETITION ON THE 'SHORT TRACK' ( go look at
www.drivewayaustin.com for a description of the tracks...AND there is another map of how to get there on the Contact Us page, if you don't get to pick up one of mine)
6:00 OR WHENEVER, RETURN TO THE MARRIOTT
This schedule is VERY flexible, as Bill is basically giving us his time for the afternoon. NO FORMAL CHARGE, but we'll put out a 'collection hat' if anyone wants to drop $20 bills (or more...
)in to pay for his time and for setting up a fun little competition that afternoon!
I told Bill we might have 15 or so of us who want to go down there, but there is NO real limit if there are more or less.
