TX6G2K9, Lets have another big Texas meet! Options

[zero07]

We kinda talked about this in Austin last weekend about having our next big meet in March 09.

Id like to do a two day thing its really up to you guys, we can all decide whats best together.

Also i think Austin is a great spot for these things, the roads are just sick! I know i can speak on behalf of myself, Stephen, Ripley, Death, and Alex we had a great drive!

for a state-wide meet Austin is the most central location for everyone to come & the driving in the Hill Country cannot compare to roads in North Texas.
the Houston crew drives just about as far as we do to get to Austin - the mileage is comparable, so it's the most fair to everyone since Texas is a HUGE a$$ state.

Matt (GotToyota) - if you are thinking of Motorsports Ranch have you looked into how much an event costs there & how many people are necessary to sign up?
Joe & I have done it there before with the RX7 club & it wasn't exactly cheap - not saying it wasn't worth it, but not everyone driving up from Houston/San Antonio may be able to afford the gas to get up here + ~$150-200 for track time + possibly staying here + gas for the drive back home + food, drinks etc.

No sh*t Alex, you were behind me this time now that i think about it!

There's no way you can miss a blur of blue behind you. lol

A buddy of mine is selling his '04 WRX for about $18K obo. Nice cars. Plenty of room for 4, easy to drive, and you just gotta love the exhaust note those Subies spit out. Engine bay looks like a nightmare though, but that's just me.

First of all the only DFW guys that show up to these big Texas meets are Darthripley and Mario. So really those two are the only ones doing any driving, and im pretty sure theyll come to this as well. I think were all pretty set on Austin again, its just a sick location for a meet.

yeah, I ain't big ballin to spend that much money plus the 8+ hour round trip. I've got family up in Richardson, but I'm not looking to barge in on them alone and I'd rather not spend money on a hotel. I much prefer the 4-5 hour round trip to Austin. Leave Houston by 8:30, be in Austin by 11-ish and still have plenty of time to do things before leaving for home around 6 like we did last time.
