We are now the "ENRON 400" and have been officially notified that we have
earned first position in the Super Team Start. That means we are the very first out the gate again this year! AWESOME ! Thanks to all of you for your recruiting efforts. We've gained 125 riders from last year. MEET YOUR TEAM IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF TULLY STADIUM. To start this adventure, just show up with your bike and all your gear at Tully Stadium, I-10 & Dairy Ashford no later than 6:00 AM on Saturday, the 15th. The feeder road going east on I-10 from Dairy Ashford leads you to Tully Toad, dedicated as a one-way street that morning. Turn right onto Tully and enter Tully Stadium grounds in the first 3 gates. No vehicles of any kind will be allowed into the parking lot from Dairy Ashford, so save yourself some time and just follow the crowd in from the feeder road. Please park your vehicle and then go ask questions if needed so that you don't jam up the entrance. There are 3 drop-off points for your luggage. Each rider should have 2 luggage tags which are the same numbers as your helmet and bike numbers. 6:15 AM Team Picture (Southeast Corner of Parking Lot - in the Stadium) 6:30 AM Stage for Exit (Northwest Corner of Parking Lot) 7:00 AM The "Enron 400" out the gate! (You have a Tully Stadium map in your rider manual) The Top Team Start will be at 7:00 AM, staging at 6:30 AM, and it's very important to be there on time. If you're not in the staging area in time for our start, you'll be stuck back with the crowd and it could take you as long as two hours to get out the gate. Allow enough time to park, unload luggage, and get geared up, remembering that the freeway will be jammed up even that early. We want you there for the team picture, and we don't want to leave without you, so please be there plenty early (I recommend arriving at 5:30 AM). Please wear your Enron jersey the first day. This helps us to quickly identify who should be starting with us. I did consent to let five IZUZU riders start with us. Since they're sponsoring the whole event, I figured you guys wouldn't mind. So just be nice! If you have any questions about any of this, please email me or call me at 713-646-6569. I'll be out of the office the rest of this week in attending a conference, but will be checking messages and email when possible. My home number is 713-977-1527 and cell phone is 713-503-6313. On Friday I'm picking up my kids who are flying in and getting their bikes ready, etc., but call if you need anything.
