MXS Texas Throwdown Rollcall!

[headcase]

It's only 240 miles or so, that is from center of Dallas to center of Houston, your actual distance will vary.

I love the way you say "only"

I couldn't go for 240 miles in any direction here (in UK currently) without hitting the coast (except maybe straight up but then I would be in Scotland...)

[nicad]

man.. now THAT blows my mind.
I mean.. crap. interstate I-10 runs ~900 miles across TX alone. :)

yeah Simon the drive from dallas to houston is not a too bad of one. 3 hrs or so.

you know you want to man.. heheheh.

It might be best to go to [URL=http://www.mxsportz.com] and post there about needing a ride.

It's about a 6 hour drive.

Yeah, that is why I said it. I can't remember the numbers exactly, but I think the UK would fit inside Texas five times over.

244 miles (from middle of dallas to where I live.. which the field is much closer, but simon is on the other side of dallas i believe) going 70MPH is 3.5hrs... and c'mon.. who drives 70?? :)

**edit- more accurate from his house to the field is 228 miles. goin 70mph (heheh..) is 3hr:15min.

yes, but they fail to mention that ALL of I45 is under construction!!!!!

Trust me, I used to live in south Meyerland and I'd go home to Fort Worth fairly often. Avoiding the cops I'd use 290 to 6 to 35. Worked great. I suppose the total time from Northwest Fort worth to South houston is 6 hours. So I'd believe that central Fort Worth to the feild could be 5 hours, but 3.5? i'd like to see someone drive that leagally.

ooor- 1hour 8minutes nonstop flight dallas to houston.
round trip: $118.

[vf-xx]

Well yeah, but that doesn't help ME! I'm poor.

Besides, if that's Southwest, it's most likely into Hobby, which is at lest an hour away from the feild if not more

[Virem]

Ill be there, flying from CT to play with the other Texas Rangers, gonna be great.

This is Friday folks. I'll see you all there. You can call that number listed for the hotel I listed on the first page and ask for my Room (my real name is Matt Jordan, shhhh don't tell anyone) if you want to let us know when your in town.

[wyn1370]

ok what day is everybody getting in. I'm gonna be there on thurs, hopefully somebody else will too, or I'm gonna be really bored(well bored and in need of a ride or rental car).

[BradAGD]

I'll be there on saturday running a booth for Maxx and probably just hanging out on sunday, maybe even, dare I say it...playing!

I know Tom is supposed to come by the shop on Friday afternoon. Everyone is invited. Just let me know and I'll pass out directions. Nicad can guide folks here too. I have to leave somewhat early on friday, about 5pm. The wife's office Christmas party is that night. Blah.

See everyone soon.

Wyn,
I know Newt and dayspring said they are getting in Thursday. Like i said, I'll be landing about noon on Friday, getting the car, finding the hotel and seeing if I can check in and then heading to the field (Maybe even to Maxx, dunno yet).
