OK here is an idea for the name

YORK

That whole area was once all part of the Y-O Ranch, one of several ranches that we hundreds of thousands of acres and a signficant part of Texas history in that area - hence the YO part

R - Run or Run at or Runnihg Through
K - Kerrville

I think since it is in TX, the scenery and the roads make it the run it is that it should reflect those things in the name, not latch onto something from another location.

I like this idea, includes the history of the name/area but I think we need to add something in to include rx or rotary something you know? Maybe the Three Sisters Rotary Run? I like the 3sisters name, pretty unique

Not a big fan of a meet called York... I can just see myself telling people I going to York..... it just sounds funny...

Personally I like the two other suggestions we've had, if you take out the rotary part... The Lonestar Run or The Three Sisters Run is better and smoother... they dont have rotary in the brotherhood of the dragon....

Both of the above names set the meet apart from meets like Sevenstock and still give us a cool name.

Id even consider taking out the word run and have something to do with lonestar or three sisters, Id even go so far as to suggest an animal much like BOTD, something like a panther or a very fast and agile cat that is native to texas.

or maybe even a hunter name to signfy the search for good roads etc...

At least is spurred the discussion on when people thougth they might get stuck wiith it

I am easy - far as I care it doesn't need a name too fun anyway

Ummmmm Sticking with Cornholio's idea -- - - - - - Yeah, not so much.

Just as Chornholio is a funny name and Beavis and Butthead did their best to save America it was a fad that is passed. The spanked Sisters idea is funny, but a little too early 20's and won't sound nearly as cool when you and the run aga a little.

The other group of car folks I hang with (yes we are decidedly older than this group but we werent always and we were always car people just like this group) call ours Kerrville - as in "who is doing Kerrville this year" We all know what it means - good food, good people, GREAT roads.

So I think it needs to be something that will stand the test of time a little better

How bout STR3SR - SeaTownRacer's3SistersRun

Or what we called it after I got the maps and details from the guy who set it up whose handle is Stuck -

This is what is was called on that forum

Stuck Rip Off Ricer Rotary Run Round Kerrville

Actually, if you take the map that we ran and turn it sideways so that East is at the top and take into account the way we ran it, you could easily call it:

The Texas 8

Side note... also 8 points of interest noted in the logo.

Figure we could do the logo on the front and then on the back do a slogan for that particular meet and if our sponsors want to step it up a notch, we can put their names/logos on the back of the shirt.

I don't have any resources in that department. If you do look it up, let me know what kind of file format they will want and I can re-do it at home with photoshop.
