anmracing Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Count me in.Just remember to stop off at exit 269 (Wilmot Rd, at the Shell station on the south side of the freeway).Not the TTT? That was our meeting spot for some after hours "tire testing"...hehM~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmracing Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Steve,We're tentatively in. We'll make ours an overnighter-we have enough friends down south to put us up. Or put up with us. Would do either tour-big room preferred since it has limited availability during the summer. Dewey, was is you that mentioned a cruise in at Anthony's? Is that a Saturday night thing? and every week? Maybe we can do that as well....M~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the first post for updates. Don't forget, tickets are non refundable so If you've said you're in, I'm assuming you're in. Let me know soon if you change your mind. I'd like to book as many spots as soon as possible before they fill up so those of you who haven't expressed a preference for a particular tour, or if you're on the fence, step up.

Desertdawg Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 You can put us in for the big room tour, and we will be heading home that night.

Guest UVETTYA Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ok Dwayne, the first post is updated. Good idea. Thanks. I'm not sure if I should set a cut-off date. Looks like we're going to have enough to span two tours and the sooner those of you who haven't chosen yet can tell me your preferences, the sooner I can book the tour for you too. They will eventually fill up. There will be 5 walk-up tickets available for each tour but there's no guarantee they won't be sold before we get there. So the sooner the better. Thank you for putting this on the Calendar Tanya. : I hope you and Mark going. Everyone else, I've updated your tour preferences.I'll call tomorrow and book reservations for those who have voiced a preference - so far we have enough to fill one tour. Once I've booked the reservations you can either PayPal me if you have an account or by snail mail if not.If I've forgotten anything or anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

anmracing Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hey Steve,We're definitely in-What time are you booking the tours for? I mean, how early do you all want to leave Phoenix in order to arrive there? I know early tours are easier to book, but we may be reserving far enough in advance to get whatever time works best considering the drive.....Just wondering.....Thanks!M~oh, yeah, we need to get you some dough-pm me an address, we don't have a paypal account (that I know about).and thanks for organizing this one! Should be a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a lot of fun! Your welcome Melissa. And yes, we can probably make a reservation when we want. They don't have any scheduled tours on Sat and Sunday. We're too big for one tour so the second group will have to wait ½ hr for their tour to start. That's the only consideration as far as the tour is concerned. However, I didn't make reservations today. The planning is a little more complicated then I thought and I'm going to need more input from everyone so we can figure out what time to book the tours. Here are some considerations... I'm guessing the trip will take about 10 hrs. That breaks down to 2 hrs driving at 160 mph, (320 miles round trip) just joking! Probably more like 5 hrs driving, more or less -- then 2 hrs for the tours; 1 hr for the visitor center; 2 hrs lunch and pit stops -- 10 hrs total. If we leave at 8am, (I'm guessing here), we'll probably be back by 6pm. Leave at 9 - back by 7pm. Leave at 10am, back by 8pm. (I think these are conservative numbers -- actual times may vary) Then there is lunch to consider...Example: If we leave at 8, we'll be there by 11 -- tours start at 12 and 12:30 -- done by 2pm -- lunch in Tucson 2:30ish (probably more like 3) -- arrive back in Phx 6pm-ish, (probably more like 7pm). Again, I'm guessing. Adjust those times accordingly if we leave at 9 or 10am. We just need to fit lunch in there at a reasonable time. We could probably save some time if we filled a cooler with (for example) subs, tater salad, chips and drinks and have a picnic there at the park -- they have a picnic area. That sounds like fun.I'm just tossing ideas out there folks. I'll hold off until Monday to make the reservations, so help me out here and voice your thoughts. If you leave it up to me, we're leaving at 8 with a picnic at the park. Leave at 8, 9 or 10?Lunch in Tucson or a picnic at the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Im in! Don't know about Mark yet. Im sure he will be up for it, but those early times freak him out. Whatever, if I have to show alone I will, but either way, we will pay for both of us. And I definitely think a picnic sounds super cool, but I am always a go for Hooters too!!! I could always use some Daytona Wings and crab legs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do the other one just let me know before Monday.If Mark needs coaxing out of bed I can sit in your driveway and rev my engine. Or else we can get Ken to do burnouts up and down your street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmracing2 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 A picnic sound like fun..... I'm thinkin' the leaving at 8:00 would be best. Good job setting this up Steve.
