Arriving in Lewisville on evening of 7/6 and leaving out of Irving the morning of 7/8.
Don't know where they spend the day in Irving. Umpteen years ago they spent the day in Las Colinas across from Williams Square. http://greatracegarage.com/wpmu/2007...-texas-762007/ | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements.

Growing up in Farmington NM, I remember the first time this came through. Those cars, and their drivers were some of the neatest people to meet. Great fun.

I'm going too.
I have decided, after much searching, that the Irving reference is the fault of some one not knowing the area. Looks like Grapevine all of the way for the 7th. | | | |

Took the girls out there. The cars were way cool.
However, I ended up having to park in one of the grassy lots b/c there was no other parking. Of course with all the rain it was muddy. I drive a 4WD Excursion, so I had no problem getting in, but when we came back to the lot, there were two 2WD trucks stuck up to their axles. I thought I'd be a good Samaritan and help out. Well, as I was maneuvering to get to where I could pull one of them out, I ended up venturing too far into the mud, and buried the Ex to it's axles. No problem though, one of the stuck guys I was helping has a friend who runs a towing company. He called him up, and out he came to unstick us all. He first pulled out his friend and then me. I go up to him to give him some cash for beer money for his trouble, and he tells me I owe him $50.
That's the last time I try to help anyone out. If I had just minded my own business I would have just driven away. Now I'm $50 poorer and pissed to boot.
Greedy bastard. Pretty much ruined the evening.
