Hi, we talked to David at Gateway, and he told us that there would be a 2nd David Starr day this year. WE loved it last year. Everyone was so nice to us, especially David!

Well...sorry we don't remember you guys. I am sure we would if we saw ya again. David Starr Fan Day #2 would be the BEST!!! Like Lori said..It would be the best family Reunion ever!!! As far as being able to come to the race..looks like I will make it!! We will be 2nd or 3rd..and they give the coaches the awards so we will not go to the ceremonies on June 9th..it is for the big boys!!!! SO I WILL BE THERE IN JUNE..YEAH!!!!! I am happy about that..but would have stayed home for Matthew!!! |

Hi, Donna & I pretty much stayed to ourselves last June. We didn't want to take away from the people who had known David so long. We liked David before we went, but we really did so after the event and the next few races. Yall are right, it did feel more like a family reunion than a fan get together. David is just a great guy as is his family. See you all in June. We will try to bring some David racing converts with us! Thomas & Donna Sweeten Arkansas Fans |

Thomas, You and Donna would not have "taken away" a thing! It was a David Starr Fan Day, a Day for us fans to spend some time with our driver and with each other... Next time, ya'll just jump right on into the middle of it all! And bring them Converts on too! See Ya'll in June! |

What does it take to get this idea rolling?
Contributions? Volunteer help? Sponsorship?
I'm thinking we are too close to the June race day to put something together. Anyone know of any on-going plans? At the very least... we ought to tailgate party somewhere until all the traffic thins out.
Anyone? Anyone?

| Magicman, any anyone that would like to have a tailgate party after the race. Here is my Cell Phone # 903-227-1715. Call me when you get to the track and we can do something. Steve and I are planing on being there on Thursday and Friday. Unless we have a court date with Melissa but, we should find out something real soon on that. |

Hi Shirley, we are from Arkansas, and we do have a neice and nephew that we take to the races when we can, but they were not with us at Texas. David has met them two or three times, so he might remember them. They can't go to Texas this year either, but they will be with us at Kansas in July. We hope that they get to see David there.

Mike and I Will be there Wednesday evening, somewhere in a parking lot with our camper--wherever TMS places us for the night, to wait for the infield to open..And we are staying until Sunday morning...Who all is staying thru Saturday for the Indy race?? Or is everyone leavin after David's race Friday??? After David Wins on Friday night , We should Celebrate ALL Weekend!
Someone pick some times and places, and let us know-- Because We have several people we are trying to keep up with also! A couple of those people include Our new David Starr fan recruits, ( Mike's Boss, and wife) will be there, and not sure of when we are meeting up with them just yet..
Thomas--we went to Kansas last July! We had a Great time seeing David at a different track other than TMS, We had never been to any other track before..But This year, we are trying Memphis--Its a little closer, Kansas was a LONG LONG drive for us, but it was worth the trip! We may do Kansas again someday-- My sister lives 10 minutes from the Kansas Speedway.. |

I'm ready to meet all of y'all in person!!! It would be great to have another fan day, since I wasn't there for the 1st one, but even if that can't happen I'm all for meeting up somewhere!!! Mags and Lori both have my cell #, so we'll be in touch.  |

Very cool! Janie and I know the pit passes are $65... But, we don't have our "seats" yet. We don't know that much about TMS and where the best seats are. I thought VL Club Suite tickets were only for "season ticket holders"? (Which would be way outa our league since with live in DC.) We are still planning the details... Still planning to come... But, I gotta be truthful... I can only do 1 two-day driving trip to TEXAS per year.... (too many idiots on the road) and if there is not going to be a David Starr day in June.... Janie and I might want to delay until the fall venue. 
Last time, Janie and I were in general admission all the way to the right of the finish line. It was fun... but, I never saw another David Starr fan anywhere near me. Can someone recommend where (location) to buy the "good" TMS seats? And, also, how the camping reservations/rules work? Thinking about renting a camper. (We don't have a place to stay yet.... and got to solve that problem pretty quick.)
Hope this works out and we can see some of you guys in person.

| Magicman, We got our Suite tickets from E-Bay. You can sometimes get tickets real cheap there. And you can get pit passes as well. Pat had a post about someone could put a camper in here spot in the infield. She said that she was close to Lisa, Lori and JerryK. Or you can get camping spots our side of the track. If you dont know anything about E-Bay I will be happy to help you out there. I buy and sell all the time. The best seats are anything above row 35 and as close as you can get to Section 101 or 401 that will be at the flag stand. Qualifying will once again be free this year. I sure hope that ya'll can make it. But, I understand the drive. We are only getting the suite tickets for the June race because of the heat. For the November race we will be seating in the stands. Just let me know if you wont me to help you out on some tickets. I will be happy too. |

Thanks... Looks like we are going to go ahead with our plans. I've got a few loose ends to clean up... It's been a very eventfull two months.. you'll see what I mean when you read my post in the "non-race" chatter.
If the hard-core message-board members (and any new folks) are there and want to get together.. then - the heck with an "official day"! 
Sounds like a cell-phone-link-up is the best strategy to meet. How much better could it get?
Thanks! more later...
