I got here yesterday at about 4:15 cst. I drove 1004.9 miles and it took me exactly 14 hours including two fuel stops. The hotel here does not have internet access so I spent an hour this morning 'war driving' trying to find open access. I finally found an open share on the opposite site of the hotel on the second floor, , which is now where my room is. So if any of you have notebook PCs with wireless make sure you ask for for a room on the second floor on the front, not the pool side.

 

Damnit I wish I was there..... What kind of mileage did you get?

 

I somehow averaged 25.5-26mpg doing 75-90 the whole way. 1005 miles / 14 hours = 71.8 mph which includes two fuel stops. And I ran into Atlanta rush hour, Birmingham rushhour, various one lane road destructions, etc..

 

You drove a 1,000 miles?? Crazy.

 

In one day. Left home at 3:15am EST, arrived at the hotel 4:15pm CST (5:15pm EST)

 

That's hardcore

 

Welcome to Dallas man!...Are you planning on going to Speedzone tomorrow night? I am heading out there after picking my son up from home which is really close to the hotel. Should be leaving at around 6pm.

 

damn dude!
hope I get that kind of mileage (pulling the UHaul!)

 

I will be there tomorrow w/ my friend and wife.. We just got here last night around 11:00pm from a 16 hour ride in from Chicago.. Hope to see you guys there..

 

Are you getting bootleg, 2nd floor Inet access to?

 

I was trying to locate you locals yesterday. I have to be at DFW before 5:45 to pickup Matt (blubyu2k2), Haydn (sloppymax) and Jason (Cutlr7).

 

Oh yeah guys, it's probably best that we don't tell the front desk about our free Inet.

 

Im here at College Station now, just arrived at 2 am Thursday morning...

over 2000 miles from Spencer, MA to Warpspeed's shop then onto College Station.

Oh and I averaged about 28~30 MPG most of the way here.

 

I'll be there tomorrow night around 9pm (give or take). Where you all going to be?

 

So, why did we settle at two different locations?

 

Sounds good, thanks for the headsup, I'll have my notebook with me.

 

What are you talking about? I know there's two Days Inn close to each other.

 

I'll be at the one in the thread tomorrow. Probably no later than 5pm.

 

College Station is two hours away from Garland. I am at the Days Inn in Garland where the Maxxus page said to go.

 

These two open access points are sporadic at best. If any of you have high gain antennas to use you should bring them.

 

Garner? you mean Garland?

 

Yeah Garland.

 

OK. Now that people are making it to town, I'm getting stoked. This is gonna be some fun ****.

 

There is the TWS track event on Friday...so some people are staying in College Station.

 

But why didn't we just have everyone go there?

 

That's why I was a little surprised to see someone is already here in Dallas.

Everyone that was going to the track day is staying in College Station tonight. (from what I have seen anyway...)


Are you the only one in Dallas right now?

 

As far as I know.

Is everyone coming here after the track day is over?

 

you should come over to the mall and visit me. i'm bored.

 

What mall Thomas?...Dell, right?

 

The Dell inside Town East Mall.

 

The following are now at the Manor Inn at College Station:

How on earth did you average 71mph?

Man, sitting here at 208am with a class at 830 and I am too freakin anxious to even sleep. I can't wait to get down there tomorrow night (even though some rat bastard put a beautiful 3 foot long scratch down the driver's side of my car today). I am really lookin forward to wastin everyones *** on the dragsters.
