Guys, I would love to do a November event but here is the long and short of it. We select our 2010 dates about 30 days ago. So there is an extremely long lead to get future dates at TMS. November is NASCAR fall race the track is usually closed for two weeks prior and two weeks after the race so for example this year we are not back on track until 21st of November. Let's say I can get a date, here is the nut of the problem, the day with Fire & Safety ,Insurance, Corner workers, Track rental, Instructors run about $15K. If I get 100 people @ $150 = $15K, I work for nothing and can't make that up with volume. I know it's my problem, and I not *****ing but anytime you can get on TMS for $150 you better sign up. If the Houston group or any other group would like to do a track day, I will be happy to set it up. We take a major gamble every time we do a track day to try to break even. So if any group wants to step up and play, let me know. $150 to drive four sessions at TMS is the deal of the year, don't miss it. I think the only reason to miss, your dead, and I will send flowers. db
