Driveway Austin -Friday afternoon
 

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.

Big Thanks
 

Glyn, Thanks a bunch, you have done more than anyone could ask. Let's make sure that everyone understands that we are your guest. Also we need to be very respectful of the track owners and not do anything stupid. And then maybe another time we can be invited back. db

Glyn,
Thanks for arranging our visit. Nancy and I will attend.

That reminds me, I need to get a t-shirt that says "I'm with Stupid"**)

Why oh why do I feel like that was directed at me David
