I may go.
Where on the site is the list so I can have my car checked out.
I only have 10k miles on my KDW2's so they should be good. My brakes have <15k on them.

You should be fine. PM me your email and I can send you the tech sheet. It should be back up tonight. We have been doing a face lift on the site and the tech sheet did not get reloaded. Sorry about that.

Hope to see you there!

John

John or anyone else who knows the area....I am looking for a hotel nearby. Seems like the best I will muster is in Granbury: Plantation Inn -any reviews?

Is there anything else closer to MSR? -I need a 'wife won't complain' type hotel

Not this time around. I just got my car back from the dealer. New plugs, new starter, new battery, new flash... feels like a new car.. I didn't know how long this would take them so I didn't register and havent made arrangments. Of course, they checked out the car for me when they did all that.
I didn't want to risk not getting my car back in time for going so I didn't pay.
I'll try to go next time.
