We're not requiring a helmet, but you're welcome to use one if you have it.

Wayne,
Will we need a helmet for the autocross?

You should be able to run at least 2, so yes, we'll try to give you a feel for the course layout.  It all depends on how many sign up to run the course.  We've got it all day Tuesday, and can also use it on Wednesday morning if we need to.

Wayne,
One more thing about the autocross, on the Schedule Of Events, you state that on Tuesday, we'll be "given a couple of timed runs". Do you mean this as two runs or do you think we'll get a chance to feel out the course layout?

Time's a tickin.  Who's planning to register that hasn't yet?

Any of you Local Texans Or Louisanians are welcome to drop over to Shreveport for the Warm-up.  How about It?

QuoteTime's a tickin. Who's planning to register that hasn't yet?

Deal me in.  I think  Ol' Red may have one more rodeo left. Fingers crossed.

Gotta go. This will be15 straight for me.  Not sure how that happened.  

Carl, what's the problem with Ol' Red? Just not enough tread left on those tires? We'll need you there for sure.

Anyone with an interest in the Roadmaster tour schedule should be at our meeting on Tuesday evening in the hotel meeting room around 8:30. We need to take a look at the schedule from the end of the Power Tour until August at least if not beyond. Looks like we can get the car to Colorado after the Power Tour, but don't know how or where it will get back east after that.

Bill, are you aware that Terry spends his winters in Arizona? Might be another link in the chain.

Jim

I knew Carl would make it to God's country... Didn't expect he'd be moving though

We are going to Palistine by way of Galveston.  Tomorrow we plan to stay in Memphis, TX and get to Houston on Thursday.  
After visiting the Johnson Space Center on Friday we will go onto Galveston.   We will leave Galveston Sunday morning and will be driving on Texas 19.  Anyone living in or near Houston want to caravan?

Al Wulf

Al, what time are you thinking you'll hit Houston?  I'm in the NW corner (Cypress actually) right off HWY 290.  I'll PM you my phone number.  If you're near Cypress & want to get together in the evening or need to do any quick mainenance, just give me a shout.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the response.  PM sent.

Al

Brenda and I are hitting the road early in the morning (Wed)1am from Elk Grove Ca. We will be red eyeing it ,,,, shooting for  Albuquerque New Mexico somewhere. So 1st leg will be 16 hour run (Hwy 40 from barstow). Then in the morning (Thurs) we will head for an 8 hour run to Amarillo, then taking 228 to 287 to Wichita Falls (south east). Will be seeing my son at Sheppard AFB for a day or so. It will be a 4 hour run to Palestine on 287 from there (Sunday).

So if anyone sees us wave or caravan with us!

This is our rig....would like to be driving my car, but maybe a little to far for Brenda's comfort level.



This is the verbage on the back of the trailer to identify us since there isn't any other markings (all white)



Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in Texas. Going to be a great meet I'm sure. Thanks Wayne.

Will be great seeing you again, Calvin!

Seems the Hampton Inn is now full.

Anyone want to rent out their room's extra bed?

Sent PM

Curtis, I don't remember if I have a single king or a double, but if it's a double you're welcome to bunk with me for free.

Thanks guys! I've sent a pm to Phil to confirm my reservation.

Any of the Dallas area crew heading over Sunday afternoon?  I'm picking up my dad in Lewisville and we'll be heading out from there around 1:30 or 2pm.

Mary and I are already in Fort Worth. We left Wisconsin on Tuesday with the "top down" and drove for two days enjoying  the breeze. What a great feeling after our crazy spring weather. Car ran great except for loosing a tailight rim and lens in a construction zone.( I guess I should have checked the retaining screws.) I was able to get lenses from Moss but the rims were B/O'd. Does any one have an extra lens ring for an early MGB they could bring along? I would be happy to purchase or return after the event. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting alot of new people in Texas.     Paul

Jim, his two sons and I will be leaving Florence, Ky.in my Sienna van after I get there on Saturday afternoon.  Jim's oldest son Dave works the night shift, so we will be pulling the red-eye Saturday night.  Depending on timing we may swing by Shreveport and catch up with the group Sunday morning.  Where are you guys having breakfast?

Dan B.

I am open to sharing a room
