Meet Itinerary:
Sept 6 @ 6 PM - Fun N Grudge
Northstar Dragway 1/8 mile track in Denton, TX ($15 to race) No insurance needed since the track is open to the public.
After meeting in the pits racers can TnT, call-outs, grudge matches. Track is open till around midnight. http://www.northstar-dragway.com/schedule.html
Hotel is less than ten (10) miles away.

Cottonmouth Conversions will reimburse the $15 track fee to each member providing a receipt up to 40 trucks.
Participants will purchase ticket at gate and get receipt. They will bring me the receipt and get a cash refund on the spot.

Sept 7 @ Noon - SnS
Bone Daddy's - Amazing Views and good BBQ. http://www.bonedaddys.com/
DRTC will have the back row of parking lot (about 40 spaces) for holding our SnS. All participants will judge and the highest votes gets the award. Currently planning on 5-10 awards based on attendance.

Bone Daddy's is offering some free appetizers (small attendance) or a food discount (large attendance) of 10%. The discount cannot be confirmed until good estimate provided to GM.

Sept 7 @ 5 PM - Laps for Charity
You're the driver when Texas Motor Speedway opens up the track to the public! Experience the thrill of driving your personal vehicle around the 1.5-mile speedway oval, all to benefit Speedway Children’s Charities at Texas Motor Speedway. After you take your laps, you can celebrate with a picture taken in Victory Lane. What could be a better way to start the summer than by driving your car on the 1.5 mile superspeedway, all while helping give back to children in need across North Texas?!
http://texas.speedwaycharities.org/events/laps_for_charity/

Take laps around Texas Motor Speedway in your own truck! Each lap costs $10 and you must purchase in threes (3s=$30). Picture in victory lane for another $10.
DRTC will run as a group before the event opens to the public ensuring good photo/video opportunities. DRTC specific time slot has not been provided yet.

Cottonmouth Conversions is covering one (1) set of three (3) laps and one (1) photo.
Participants will be required to be at track on time for DRTC specific time slot. Cottonmouth Conversion will pay for all trucks running at this time with a limit of 40 trucks.

The hotel is about 50 miles from this event but is less than ten (10) miles from the track for drag racing on Sunday. Keller's is about half-way to the hotel for a late night snack and show, participants can chose to skip this event but I highly recommend it.

Sept 7 @ 10 PM - Keller's Drive In - Food and Car Show
A local favorite that has an inpromptu car show every Saturday night in the summer. Great mix of cars, trucks, bikes but mostly older muscle types. Great burgers (#5 is great) and cheap beer (less than $2) served to you while you enjoy the sights, sounds and conversations with fellow gear heads.
Hotel is 30 miles from here.

There is no discount nor any awards at this event. This place is cash only!

Sept 8 @ 8 AM - TMCCC Drag Racing League
Full class bracket racing at Texas Motorplex, racers will compete in existing classes, more information will be found here; http://www.tmccc.org and requires a sponsorship of $300 for us to piggyback the event. This is typical index classes bracket style racing. You will get two (2) time trails in the morning then eliminations start around noon. Winner is determined by closest to dial in plus reaction time. Red light and break out automatic win for other racer. Double break out and double red light loser is first in either.

If someone wins a class or at least places they will also get a TMCCC trophy. Currently planning on 5-10 awards based on attendance. Food available at track. Awards will be given out at the end of the event.

Classes are based on times not mods with the excpetion of Electronics. Top classes are 1/8 mile only.

Cottonmouth Conversions will reimburse the $30 track fee to each member providing a receipt up to 40 trucks.
Participants will purchase ticket at gate and get receipt. They will bring me the receipt and get a cash refund on the spot.

Thank you to Cottonmouth Conversions for helping sponsor this meet. :biggthumpup:
For those that don't know, this is Bob Penfold's company.
And he's putting his money where his mouth is by signing a sponsorship contract with the DRTC and depositing the sponsor money in our account.

You guys (and gals) in D4 and D5 deserve this after what happened...And Bob has really stepped up to the plate for you.
I hope we can salvage this year's mess by putting on a great meet that's close enough to most that you can attend.

I also want to thank everyone who contributed their meet fees and those of you that donated to the club. Every penny you donated is going back into putting these 3 meets on. We could NOT have done this without your support.

And as always, our executive board has worked their ass off to make something happen that's never been done... Put together 3 meets in 3-4 months. These guys amaze me. Our club is stronger than ever.

The National Meet is THE main focal point of this club, and one of the main reasons why the club formed in the first place.
We can't pay for your hotel room, or give you hundreds of dollars in gas cards, but we CAN guarantee you'll have a good time and meet good people.

Please come out in September and support the club!

THANKS!
Ed...

:fml: I tell you what man, I just can't win for these meets. I don't know if yall recall but it almost cost me my job to get off work for Durant. The only other guy that can cover for me would not work for me becuase he wanted to go to the bike ralley. So, last night I saw this and came strait to work this morning to put my name on the calendar and guess what? The same guy is off the whole week to go to new york. Including saturday! :fml: So my best case scenario is getting there saturday night for the Kellers get together.

Ok I'm finally registered (thanks for reminding me Bob). And a huge TY to Bob for putting this together. I don't know if any of you realize this but besides the work he's put into this and things behind the scenes as far as giveaways and stuff, Bob is putting up around $3600 of his own money to pay for the meet events for the 1st 40 trucks. That is one hell of an awesome thing if you ask me. I'm a member of the largest Mopar club in the DFW area and they don't even do that. So hats off to Bob for bein a frickin stud and now all we need is for everyone to get off their azz's and sign up to have some fun.

Between my taking time off from the day job to attend the Durant Nats, and my moving in 3 weeks (requiring more time off), coming to the TX Nats unfortunately is out of the question. I do have family in TX (mostly Austin area), so I'll be out there before too long again. Going to VA for the East Nats is likely not happening either. :fml:

If you guys have Wi-Fi/hotspot access from the track and a laptop I can make myself available for remote trackside tuning.

No, not heat wave, the name alone makes me depressed. Why the fuck do I want to suffer in a heat wave!

I'm talking about going down south. SA, or Austin, and having a get together for a weekend or something. I know JJ is down that way and he has a lot of guys down that way.

No, not heat wave, the name alone makes me depressed. Why the fuck do I want to suffer in a heat wave!

I'm talking about going down south. SA, or Austin, and having a get together for a weekend or something. I know JJ is down that way and he has a lot of guys down that way.

Oh ok gotcha.

As people sign in at each event you will be provided your goodie bag if that is the first event you are attending.

Example

10 people show up for TnT event Friday night. They will given their goodie bags at the event. Saturday 15 people show up, 10 from the night before and 5 new folks. The 5 new folks will get their goodie bag at this event.

The hotel was just setup to provide out-of-towners a place to catch a shower and some zzzzz before the next event. Since a majority of folks are local the hotel is not our main hang out and meeting location - the events will be.
