Inferno is 10-15 minutes further north than I am, so it would tak him 55 mins to an hour.
Note: I live in Plano and Inferno lives in McKinney. Not Dallas. Dallas is 20 miles from where I live.

For you, taking 35E S all the way there would probably be the best way. It's about the same distance either way I can go, 287, or 35.
The way is just like mantis said, take 35E S all the way to exit 403. Exit there and I think you stay on the service road for a bit, then take another street (maybe mantis knows its name) west untill you hit 287 right by the track.

Interstate-35 to Ennis from Dallas
Exit #403, which will be Hwy 287, there is a green highway sign that says ‘Texas Motorplex next exit’
Take the service road past the Ford dealership and over the bridge
Take the next right, which is marked Hwy 287 South - Corsicana
We are on 287 South approximately 10 miles from Interstate-35

Danny, Bluesman, you guys gonna make it Friday night?
I should get some kinda crown or something for getting the 4000th post, right? Maybe not the crown that the *fastest* CL/TL in DFW gets, but still a crown, right?

With that way you have all of the Lewisville/Dallas traffic. With my way you barely get any Ft. Worth traffic, but you also have to go thru Midlothian, but besides that its about the same I think. I just go my normal way thru Ft. Worth because its habit, i guess. Usually im on the road about noon at the earliest, due to class.

Let's see,
Sounds like half the group is iffy or not going.
I've got a couple of buds that may want to come down and see the fun. So let me know for sure who's going to make it. Otherwise I don't want to drag them along for a weak turn out.

Besides the track, who is in for another dyno day? Hopefully all the folks who got the ice box (especially if we can get the price down) plus maybe some of those Nissan guys? I would like to do this soon. If we can't get a full group together, I would like to go with whomever we can. Copy the list and add your name if you want to go, please!

I'm in for the track.
Weather.com says there is a 10% chance of rain Friday morning and a 10% chance of rain Friday evening, so I don't think we'll get any precipitation.

The thread on the DNE forum was just a pure coincidence. Only one person has shown interest, so combining the two groups, we have 2 ppl that wanna do this. I posted in that thread and told the guy that if he can get some interest going I'll set it up and same goes for here. I know you've already called and they are ready to go but I think it would be a lot more fun if we had a large group like last time.

Mantis, if you are still thinking about doing this, I would recommend you contact Rick at Motorsport Ranch ASAP. I am paid, have magnetic numbers on the way (they say you need numbers), and am considering if I should rent or buy a helmet (it wouldn't hurt to have a helmet over the long run is my thought). If not, you should at least come out and check it during the event. They said spectators/friends were welcome. Thanks, Inferno
By the way, I tried to send this as a PM but your mailbox is full!!! Must be all those cool pix you take! Cheers.

I'd be in for the dyno. Hopefully I can get some free time and hit up the motorsport ranch guys. Can you give me that URL again? Its at home somewhere.
As far as the track, if I can get out of my required duties early enough, I'll be in.. err wait... this is a 8-midnight deal isn't it... ouch, I don't know that I can get out that early. Maybe I'll show up, donj't know.

Kewl. Sounds like we've got a decent group going down to Ennis. I *really* wanna see Ruf go against an SC430 on the track, especially if there's some smack going back and forth!

Since I'll have the slowest TypeS out there, if he can't beat me, then he won't beat anyone else. :nj:
How about 6 'Gs" ? As in a six pack of Guiness.
