Hmmm, that actually doesnt look too bad. SA doesnt seem that much further than Kervile from the Three Sisters when present in this fashion. This is indeed promising.

I'm actually a big fan of BBQ, as long as its good BBQ.

People have been asking me for something a bit new in regards to the meet and this may be just the change it needed.

On dates, its looking like based on the feedback so far April 30 May 1st

Yeah, the run from HWY 16-Loop 1604 was a good one, too bad I did one lap

This is the best run, I agree.

I'm pretty sure I'm down for any of the April dates. I also know several people in the Boerne/San Antonio area that would be down for tagging along. Unless we are trying to stay a Mazda crowd this year, then they might just ride along. As far as starting from SA the drive out is almost as fun as the 'drive' itself. It's not as tight and twisty, but it's still fun. And remember that last year we stopped in Medina, which is on the way back anyway. And more cinnamon apple ice cream.

That ice cream is the ****. My kids and I have rolled out there on a whim a couple of times.

Man, I am heavily considering stay an all 8 event this year. I'm still having flash backs from the BMW wreck last year. Trying to have a perfect safety record, and we have failed miserably. Its harder to boot people for not staying in the yellow lines on a public road compared to a track.

Its def a fav of the event and will not be modified from previous years

I'm definately down with it.. Any of those weekends, with the exception of April 23, work for me. I also think staying in SA is a great idea.

Well Friday is usually drive to the event day. Depending on where you live in Texas this could take most of the day (as it does for the DFW folks). So we usually caravan and make a very long cruise out of it. Everyone then meets up at the hotel we are staying at and then we all head out to dinner.

Sat Morning we all meet at the hotel for instructions and maps. We then head out in a big group to basically drive the roads all day. We take breaks along the way for pictures food and gas. The reason this is such a big deal is that the roads (when there is no traffic in front of us) are great because they are very twisty.

Would one of you SA peps like to call around your area for hotel deals?

Staying in San Antonio does sound like a good idea, now we just need to figure out the date and then what kind of deals we can get at the hotels?

i live in bryan college station i got a 8 but thats way too far to go.

People come from much farther.

I will echo what 9krpm said. Kerrvile was 4-5 hours for us in the DFW area, and that is just from the point we meet at. The Dallas people have to drive an hour just to reach that point.

I notice that was your first post, so you probably do not share the friendships that alot of us do having known each other for years. That 5 hour trip flies by so quickly when you and a bunch of your friends get together and drive down in one group.

I'd encourage you to think about it some more, and possibly meet the DFW group on the way down.

Herblenny

Yep

Some of you guys should consider coming to DGRR this year. So far we have over 100 rotary cars signed up and some top rotary racers and cars have signed up.. Including 6x 3 rotor cars.
