The three sisters is pretty badass, it's not as pretty as PCH or some places in Washington, Colorado, or Utah that I have driven on but as far as the number of curves and difficulty level it's pretty awesome. Also, traffic and cops are not a huge issue like some other places I have been.
That's okay, actually similar to what we do but much more smooth and open but the three sisters is way tighter and the elevation changes are much more abrupt. The blind switchbacks will make your butt hole pucker up. You will never believe these type of roads are in Texas. I know I was blown away the first time. Even the dragon doesn't compare in terms of skill level needed to do it at a fast pace.
Home made hood goodness. I wish I had his skills.

If you go to Loredo, get a quote from Matt but have the other location do the work. That guy Bobby has been way more professional on keeping me updated, etc. Hoss's car will be done Monday, they knocked it out pretty quick.
It would have been done Tomorrow but because the god damn bubble keeps coming back on the door, they stripped it to metal, re primed it, and he wanted to bake it for a full 48hrs before spraying it again. So they are spraying it tomorrow and letting it sit over the weekend. Everything else is done (hopefully right) so we shall see, Raul will be good to go just in time for his arrival.

Thats the craziest scariest road I've ever been on. I guess it all depends on the speed you are going.

oh yeah and the autumn run.... will not be at the three sisters, we have been scoping out new roads and been doing some slight mapping in the fredricksburg area, even found a really nice hotel with decent group pricing..... the plan is to hit up lime creek rd up near lake travis, but dont know if that would be too much driving....
the roads we have tested so far, well lets just say the runs will be alot more intense just shorter, plenty of breaks to let the blood rush back into your knuckles. there were a few turns that caught me offguard and i had to back off it for a minute..... but what a rush. the roads are a lot narrower and are not as forgiving on the suspension

Yeah, on a lot of the 3 sisters you have to be really careful with speed. Even REDRX3RX8 was blown away at the roads and the speed we took them at and he tracks (not autocross) more than anyone else I know. Out there, there is a fine line between being aggressive and being stupid. And if it's wet, it's a whole other ball game.

I just have to say...."I knew this **** was going to happen". drives are finally getting planned and I am not sure I should drive my 8 on a spirited drive in its current condition (that would probably be one $$$ tow bill)...knowing me if the motor is in the car I will be there though.....maybe we just take the "new shoes off my car" and we can swap turns driving your car shady (they wont be plasti dipped though
choices choices.....I am the worst...I love to start projects but just as they start to wrap up I lose interest.....excluding my car and my current kitchen remodel (which I state again WTF was I thinking)

haha, I like to see them through usually... However I get side tracked allot when i come across good deals!
BTW (and I may have asked this already) does anyone have a wetsaw/tilesaw? I have a $75 plastic special but I need a big one with a sliding table.
yea I am trying to avoid that. my sister inlaw has on but its in river plantation and it will be 2 week before I am back in houston. by the time you rent one you have paid for 1/2 or more cost of purchasing

Don't be a ***** Shady. You better be there... But then again if you're not a good driver we can put you at the back of the group (lol). I was thinking about Rollin out with the SARX crew this year for the runs, I've been with the DFW crew all the other years. Put Grunge behind me so he doesn't slow me down
