I had so much fun the last time we went ... and I banked. I'm sure my beginner's luck has run out, but I've been dying to go back. :lol

We should try to plan something on the 25th or something. That first Friday will probably be extra crowded.

All the $.50 nights in September are on Saturdays, too. But I'd go more than once....

Yeah I just noticed that.
Either day doesn't matter to us. Our schedule is super flexible. If you guys are okay with going on the 25th, we can do that and then go again late in September on a Saturday :spin

How wheelchair accessable is that place?
Kori Ellis
08-07-2006, 01:16 PM
I'm not sure. I'm thinking that the Grandstand level has some handicapped seating, but I don't remember exactly.
Call 651-7000

Um, it was in my birthday thread...let's move it there so as not to hijack the thread. I don't need SW hurling something at my head next GTG.

I'm pretty sure that I am off that night...I am in and I may have a guest...so people don't scare him with details about me...:lol
He works EMS and is a little crazy like me....:D

Anyone who is going for sure, let me know ahead of time because LJ and I will go early and buy a group of reserved seats all together and then you guys can pay me when you get there. (That's what we did last time) I think the reserved seats are $3.
RashoFan
08-12-2006, 11:51 PM
put me down for 2 then....
Reservation for one grandstand chair please. Make sure only one side of the chair has extra elbow room as I will not need elbow room on the other side of the chair. Also, I heard the track gives discounts if one persone buys an odd number of tickets, whatever that number may be. Is that true?
And what's with the hot dogs? Do they only coming by the couple or can you just get one solitary hot dog? If so is it cheaper to buy only one hot dog at a time?
Moreover, put my reservation down as Mr. Unilateral Singleton because I like traveling under an alias so as not to draw attention to my individualism. Finally, if you have an inquiry you can contact me on my phone. I have cingular so we'll get person to person minutes. However, it's not like I have to worry about my phone bill. Lots of Laughs.
Just a reminder: Please Confirm my seat for one. I hate to be alone on this, but I must insist you RSVP my only request for a confirmation. It's my lone instance for the day.
man i've edited this twice and there's still more than 1 error
I missed posts like that
thanks Kris!

we'll be there but in the cheap seats.
Kori Ellis
08-15-2006, 02:09 AM
Isn't $3 the cheapseats? Or are you going to sit down in the bleachers in the sun?
JoeChalupa
08-15-2006, 04:59 AM
We always sit in the bleachers but not in the sun.
But I can splurge. But me down for four.

Add some more for me, my best friend Patrick is home from the Navy, so he and his girlfriend want to come. And probably one more too.

Cool.
The "probably" needs to become for sure before Friday. I am BUYING the tickets so we can all sit together when I get there, so I don't want to be stuck paying for unused tickets.
Everyone needs to confirm their number by Friday morning.

It would be nice if while we are there we could talk about that GTG camping trip... I'd be interested in that.

There's been talk about a camping GTG? That'd mean staying overnight together ... who's willing to do that?
Crazy.

Put me down for one for sure, but I might be a little late getting there as Little ASF has a Girl Scout ceremony that night that she is begging me to attend.
Kori Ellis
08-24-2006, 07:03 PM
Everyone who is going needs to have my cell phone number.
Then when you arrive, go to the 2nd level (grandstand level) and call me. I'll tell you where to find me to get your boxseat tickets.
PM me if you don't have my number.
Box seats are $2 each ($8 per box -- 4 people sit in each box).
The live racing starts at 6:45pm. LJ and I will probably be there around 4pm.

And make sure you have cash for parking. It's a couple bucks, I think.
Admission is free however, since it's 50 cent Friday.

That's exactly 20 people. Let me know by tomorrow morning if there's more or less. Because 4 people sit per box. So that means I need to buy five boxes (it's $8 per box).

It was good to see the Chalupa family, meet KEDA's woman and his friends, and see everyone else.
I think Chris (useruser) ended up winning the most money.
I lost $35. :(
Sorry we missed AlamoSpursFan and Trainwreck (I don't know if you guys came).

Good lord...I laid down to catch a little nap at 3pm and I just woke up about 30 minutes ago. I was geeked about this all day today and then I go Rip Van Winkle on it.
And the worst part is Little ASF called my cell 12 times wondering if I was going to be at her GS ceremony. I feel like absolute shit. And now I get to go to work instead of drowning my sorrows with a beer or 12.
What a day.

I really wanted to go... stupid paycheck. Glad you all had fun. :)
