"March of the DSMs"

The 2011 El Paso DSM Spring Meet and Track Day will be Sunday, March 13th 2011. The meet will kick off at the new Five Guys Burger and Fries near the Tinseltown theater on the east side. From there we will cruise east to the El Paso Motorplex for a night of DSM drag racing.

There will be a "pre-meet" car wash starting at 2:00 pm for those of us that want to get our cars looking their best before the event. The carwash is going to be at Superior Car Wash located at 1560 North Zaragoza Road, El Paso, TX 79936.

The actual meet will start at 4:00 pm at the new Five Guys Burger and Fries on the east side. There is a large open parking lot there which will give us all a chance to show off our DSM's and grab some food before heading to the track.

At 6:00 pm we will all jump on I-10 and head out to the El Paso Motorplex in Clint, Texas. The drag strip will be open for test and tune from 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm. The standard rate is $20 to race, $6 to watch. There is a chance that we can get a better rate at the track but it depends on how many people are going. The more going the better chance for a discount. All that is required to race is a current driver's license. If you are running 13.99 or faster a helmet is encouraged, although they probably won't be enforcing that rule.

We had a great turnout last spring and it looks like this year will be even larger. I hope to see everyone out for the "March of the DSMs"!

*** The track portion of the meet has been cancelled due to new management at the track. They will no longer be racing on Sundays. Instead we will try to put together a cruise. The rest of the meet is still on. It will still be a good time, guaranteed. See you there!

How about the 12th? I'd be the middle of the month... Let me know about the set date so I can ask for that specific day off.
 
Yeah I'm good for catching things like that. I'd like to tie the idea of a track day at Deming, but with 20 something DSMer's possibly showing up it could get crowded in a quick fast and hurry type manner... I like the idea of something family friendly too
 
We can do a drag track day. I think the Arroyo Seco track day should be something seperate since it's limited to the number of cars. Plus that has to be a weekday to get that price rate. The weekend price is more the double.

We can meet somewhere and hang out and then cruise to the drag strip in Clint. I want to say racing is from 6-10 on Sundays.

My homie runs the track, so maybe i could talk to him about a dsm day or something, see if i can get us a little discount if enough of us can commit to go.

Matt, do you want to check with your friend and see which Sunday in March would be best for us to come out and get a lot of track time? Also if he can swing a "group rate".

Jim came up with a catchy name for our March meet last night: "March of the DSM's". I like it!
 
LOL.. a good meeting place is that five guys burger joint.. its good, right off the the gateway, plenty of parking and light, and lots of ppl to check out the rides.. so wash em up... now it good that its in march.. gabe at evolution invited me to go to import face-off feb 20th to pit for him and his 900+hp evo... anyone else going? so feb is kinda no good....
 
so i should be back in like 2 or 3 days.. gotta check out my baby and see how shes doing get her up and running again its been a year.. cant wait but once i get her up im down to cruise...
 
We should meet up at McKelligon Canyon and have like a photo shoot or some sort.....??? They have grills and benches also

McKelligan Canyon sounds like a great place for a future meet. I agree that it is really picturesque but since we are going out east to Clint for the drags this time I think Five Guys is a better location.

any Sunday at the drags sound great..me and my brother will be there...:cool:

We will go to the drags any Sunday.....;)

Sounds like we're going to have a good sized group!

Matt, did you get a chance to talk to your buddy at the track about which Sunday in March would work best and a possible group rate? Let us know so we can set a date.
 
He said its been getting good lately, so i guess it really doesnt matter what day we pick. they are having something march 20th so we'll probably want to avoid that day.

Can i get a head count of exactly who will be able to run that day. Having an exact number will help with "TRYING" to get a discount of some sort. Or maybe see if we can at least get our passengers if we have any, in for free.

That sounds great Matt. Lets go for March 13th then, right in the middle of the month. March 13th, meeting at Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and then going to the El Paso Motorplex for a night of DSM drag racing!!! Now we just need to figure out some times and we are all set.

That would be awesome if we could get our passengers in free.:thumb: then

I'll be there for sure with one passenger.
 
Okay so the 13th.. Set it in stone?

And he said as long as we all get there at the same time he can work out a deal. But get me a head count and i'll see what he says.
