Texas Invitational Fall 2014
General: You can't go 200mph sitting behind the keyboard so get your tail on out for the superbowl of airfield racing, the Texas Invitational (TI) October 3-5th, 2014. TI is the nation's premier high caliber airfield automotive exhibition. This fall we will hold the event over the course of three days (Fri-Sun) of wide open throttle driving. Our three classes this fall will be the coveted King of the Street, a 6 Speed Challenge, and the brand new Rear Wheel Drive Shootout class. Additionally, we will have an optional exhibition segment called TI 2000 (0-2000 feet) where the top 4 speed indexed cars can try to bust the 213mph airfield record running from a dig. TI remains a fully private event and not open to the public. Guests must register with a driver.
Registration: Driver positions are extremely limited. To drive at TI, complete this TI DRIVER REGISTRATION FORM. If selected, you will receive a formal email invitation along with an invoice. Once you have paid, you will be placed on the official driver roster thread here. Cost per driver is $350.00 and $50 per guest plus PayPal transaction fees. Your registration fees will cover driving for the entire event, food when served at the event, a t-shirt, and numbers for your vehicle. Wrist bands will be handed out at the gate for you to present for ingress/egress.
Format: Driving at TI takes place on two lanes on a closed off no speed limit airfield runway near Dallas, Texas. The driving area is a straight line with a defined starting point, starting mechanism, finish line, and independent MPH speed trap displays. In the morning, drivers will have a chance to test and tune and speed index. Speed index numbers will be logged and then used to create a competitive ladder for our classes. The ladders will be run elimination style. Apart from driving, all of the participants enjoy the event on a social level every night with the group at local restaurants and the host hotel by its lakeside bar. TI is your exclusive venue when it is time to go toe to toe with the fastest street cars in the country and make lifetime friendships with like-minded automotive hobbyists. For more details about the schedule, see this official TI schedule thread.
Vehicle Tech: The TI registration form serves as a basic vehicle inspection and you must take inspection seriously. Expect to drive fast and stop fast - safety is entirely in your hands and your hands alone. Driving at this event involves an extreme risk danger and death and again - safety is your responsibility. You are encouraged to go above and beyond tech requirements voluntarily. It's up to you to wear a fire suit, install a roll cage, fire extinguisher, engine diaper, HANS device, belly pans, drive shaft loops, and so on. These are extra steps you can take to make your TI experience safer. It is up to you to make sure your vehicle is mechanically competent. Make sure your tires don't rub, lines are dumping fluid on tires, your heads are not lifting under high boost, you are not running coolant, and so on. You owe it to your family, the guy driving next to you, and everyone at the event to make sure your **** is running right.
Media. Official video and photo media coverage will be provided exclusively by 1320video.com. Without prior approval, there will be no other commercial media outfits permitted on the premises.
Host Hotel. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW. Most central location will be at the Hilton Hotel in Rockwall, Texas. Located on Lake Ray Hubbard, the Hilton is close to the event location, restaurants, and offers waterfront view rooms. If you want to know more about the area you can click here. Click here for the online Hotel site. Hotel address: 2055 Summer Lee Drive in Rockwall, Texas 75032. 214 771 3700.
On Site. Similar previous events we will have a dedicated police crew, fire crew, EMS, clean up crew, and luxury restrooms. When driving on the airfield, if you hear a pop, bang, see a loss in oil pressure, or anything else not normal from your car while driving on the airfield please stop your vehicle in your lane as soon as possible. Failure to stop your vehicle in your lane when spewing oil will only cause clean up delays. Never change lanes if you are spilling any fluid because that will require a monumental clean up effort and likely a lane or track closure. On the other hand if your vehicle catches on fire pull over onto the grass. The fire crew can then take care of your vehicle and attend to grass fires.

I'm hoping to make the spring event if I can get an invite...should have a few more hp by then to hopefully scrap with the slower of the guys that attend this event. Are they going to bring back the grudge racing setup where people can arrange their races on the forum?
