DFW 1/4 Mile Shootout This Friday March 21st @ Texas Motorplex

Hello,

This Friday we'd like as many DFW area metroplex ///AMG owners to join us at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, TX (just south of Dallas) for some 1/4 mile fun.

http://www.texasmotorplex.com/travelinfo.php

We're all going to meet at Crate & Barrell located at Noel Road & Alpha (5221 Alpha Road) in Dallas, TX (one block north of the Galleria Mall at I-635 and The Dallas North Tollway):

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=52...,1.252441&z=10

The link also contains directions to the Texas Motorplex from Crate & Barrell. We'll leave Crate & Barrell at 6:30 pm sharp. You're welcome to start arriving 15-20 minutes early so we can all leave at the same time. There will be a number of local ///M friends joining us along with a few other brands. Should be lots of fun.

If anyone needs to contact me please feel free to do so at: darren_dallas@yahoo.com

We hope you can join us and look forward to some good fun.

Regards,

Darren

Darren, thanks again for the behind-the-scenes work. Unfortunately, I had already made plans, since it is Good Friday. Hope you plan another one soon. Have a great time. Billy

Ha ha ha!!!

BTW, Mike will have his headers in so you'll have two of us to contend with. Time to fix us an M5 sandwitch.

Supposed to be a high of 75 tomorrow. Unfortunately, Ennis will probably be a few degrees warmer.

Look, we don't want excuses...just results! Are you only going to drive your car when it's below 40 degrees...come on my friend!

The only time I want to drive in 40 degree air is at the strip. Otherwise, leave that nasty stuff up north where it belongs.

I'm sitting at Starbucks waiting for the others. I'm 2 hours early. I forgot today was Good Friday and I let everyone in the office go early and didn't feel like trecking all the way back home.

I was gonna say, "No news is bad news" but Mr Darren Dallas has been a little loose with the M5 bragging tounge lately , if it was total devastation, we would have heard allllllllll about it already.

Anyone have anything???
