2009 D/FW Toy Run

Looks like I won't be able to make it after all. Hate to take the list in the wrong direction, but the M3 is staying in Houston this weekend. Not going to try to get out of Houston by car tonight in the nasty weather, so I'm taking my chances on Southwest. So, no car, and since the wifey is sick, I get birthday party duties tomorrow, shuttling my daughter to two parties so mama can rest.

Sorry I will miss it, had a great time last year. Hope you all have a great time. Be safe!

 

So how many are meeting at Valley View Mall. 7-7:30AM ?

Thanks,

Need some clarification: Post #28 says 8:30, Post # 124 says 9:30 ????

EDIT: Just confirmed Registration/Driver's Meeting 8:30, departures starting 9:30. THANKS

 

First flight leaves at 9:30. The gathering starts an hour earlier for driver orientation, meet and greet and such.

At least, that's my reading of it based on prior year participation. Don will address it I'm sure.

 

You bump up the HP, or just playing?

 

Another last minute add on in a Nissan Z32.

Whether I'm alone or not depends on getting sleepy head out of bed on a cold Saturday morning.

Be seeing you.David.

 

I have everyone showing up at 8:30 and that gives us 30 minutes to 'meet and greet' and wait for the in transits. We also need to sign waivers so Carolyn and I will have a table or spot set up with the waivers. EVERYONE WHO GOES ON THE RUN HAS TO SIGN A WAIVER!!!! If you have your kiddoe along you will need to go to Carolyn as she will have the parental consent waiver. When you sign the waiver you will get a map and your yellow windshield sticker. We will have a driver's meeting at 9:00 or so and the first group out will be at 9:30 and then every 5 minutes until all are launched. So the last group should be out about 10:10. This should put everyone at the staging area about 11:40 or 45. Depending on the number of cars we may be a little late getting onto the base. The first group will have to wait at the staging area for a while, so be prepared.

Looks like good weather , so let's all go and have a fun run tomorrow.

 

Oh NM, I see us there "turbo SAAB club'

Thanks,
R.S.

 

Been lurking this thread.. wanted to wait to see what the weather does to decide whether or not I'll go.

Looks like it'll be nice, so feel free to add +1 corvette to the list. See ya guys tomorrow.

 

Up & atom folks, see ya there.

 

Yay ! Think of all the exotic motors starting right now !

Like my SAAB/Holden V6TwinScrollTurbo : ) hehe, I know it's not a Ferrari.

Sorry I was not able to attend. I volunteered to hold the fort down at the store.

I did send Stew in a Scuderia to take my place....much to his liking.

Glad everyone had a great time for a great cause.
