Important Notes: 1) To maximize everybody's track experience, please keep pace and do not drift away from the car in front of you. Stay as close as possible to the car ahead of you. If there are stragglers, the pace car driver will assume he is going too fast and slow down. We will travel at a very safe speed around the track. Everyone should be comfortable at maintaining the speed set by the pace car. 2) No passing. Single file only. Pace Car will set the speed limit. 3) Drivers must be 18 years of age or older. Passengers must be 6 years of age or older. Driver and occupants must each wear a safety belt. No helmets are required (unless you wish to drive a motorcycle).

Join
us as we drive our Mercedes-Benzes on the track at Texas Motor Speedway while
contributing to a good cause. Laps for Charity provides a rare opportunity to
drive our personal cars around the 1.5-mile superspeedway under controlled
conditions. Participants will get to drive at least three laps (see lap packages
below) around the track for a tax-deductible donation to the Texas Chapter of
Speedway Children's Charities. We will enter the track as a group and
follow a TMS pace car at safe speeds. After the track
activities, we will have a group dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.
