The brand is Gilden Ultra Cotten. I got an XL in cae they run small and it's actually a little big, I should have gone with a large. They are Pre-Shrunk though. I may order a large.

You'll want to talk to Creto/Riley Craven/Seatownracer...they will be the ones planning out the drive down there. But if I had to guess, we're probably gonna avoid I35 and head down 281. It's alot more fun to take the back roads, and much easier to keep 15 cars together.

Sounds about right... I have to re-bleed my brakes and clutch after installing speed bleeders... gonna be a hassle to install the SS clutch line as well...
Not to meantion I have to do a tranny flush right before the meet (just got a new 5th gear so im gonna let it break in, then tranny flush to idemitsu) and a coolant flush...

We will meet at 67 & I-35W
Drive down 67 and split off on 220 into Hico
From Hico we will take 281 down allllllll the way down to 1604
Then head east to the hotel
I'm also proposing that the DFW crew may want to pack a picnic because just as we get out of Evant there is a big rest stop where we could have a FREE lunch (assuming you pack one) Both times we have stopped at the Koffee Kup it's been crowded as hell, so I want to avoid that this year. This will also give us a little longer before we stop to eat (this has been a complaint in previous years)

you are correct sir.. i'd be willing to park on the side of 281 till i start to see yall headed in. think of it as a "final check point" cuz once yall see me you know your almost there..(aside from the sighn saying San Antonio 65mi or something like that)

I am pretty sure most of you have seen this and maybe even had it happen to you but I thought I would go ahead and post it up seeing we are 2 weeks away from the event.
Links below talk abou the RX8 clutch pedal bracket problem....if any of you are noticings any of the "symptoms" of this please get it looked at....the last thing that I would want to happen on our cruise is for someone clutch pedal bracket to brake and cause any accidents or injury. So PLEASE everyone get under there and check out the bracket on your car and make sure it looks ok.
Thanks!
