AhmadHasib Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Word on the street is that TWS will be cutting to the shorter course after September 1st. If that stays as planned, then PDS August 12-13 event would be the "Last 2.9 Mile Event".Anyone else joining me to met away in Texas heat?handsoffsam +1Kong Sheng Han (Yellow)JoshWard (Blue) surlynkid cabowabo SchadenFred Haggis SchadenFred Def cyc5181 Shuka Matt93SE Link to post

AhmadHasib Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Track can be rented August 19/20 and 26/27. Does anyone know the cost to rent the track? Wouldn't mind doing a cost analysis to figure out how much it would be per person. I'm #3 for TJ farewell event Link to post
robertcope Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Weekday rental is $250/HR for "private testing". I've done this a few times; it's pretty cool. http://www.texasworldspeedway.com/the-track/private-testing.html Link to post
JoshWard Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Based on that weekday price and the current state of the place we should be able to get a weekend for less than $10k right? The hard part I would think would be finding enough extras to work corner stations. Link to post
surlynkid Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Weekends have a different price than weekday OTD. Link to post

ht_geordie Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Not sure why my dad and brother are still "pending." Hoping they're able to experience TWS. If they haven't paid they will stay pending. The event is massively oversubscribed. Globe should have sent an email out by now explaining. Link to post

cabowabo Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Register you tool Will do. Last chance to drive the 2.9 and the weekend before my birthday so I'm down to clown! Hopefully I'll be on xida cheat codes by then paired with the 4.77. Will get whatever is left (not much) out of my RC1's. Arro 1 Link to post
JoshWard Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 There does seem to be a significant roster for this one. Right now they have me in Green but I'm hoping they move me up into Blue since I passed the PDS check ride last event and am Blue with TDE and solo with Chin. It'll be a full track on Sunday afternoons when 3 groups are out together. Link to post

Let Pam or Mike know. Link to post

I've emailed Pam who's said that Mike is working it, but I can imagine he's swamped with the interest in this event. Link to post
