    Default 2008 Solo Nationals, who's going?

    How many locals do we have representing the TX region this year? Miatamoto and I are heading down Sat afternoon. Hopefully we'll see some of you guys down there or carpool if any of you are leaving the same time.

    Also post up any tips/advice for first timers as far as prep, schedules, stuff to down there with free time (except babydolls, already know about that)
    VW Bug in running shoes
    M Porcupine sedan
    M Porcupine coupe
    Crusty old e46 beater
    Battery Powered appliance car

    Take almost every last piece of clothing you have. Weather can be anything from hot as Texas to cold as Canada...... in one week!

    Plus, it looks like we might get left-overs from the hurricane.

    Above all, go FAST!

    I just got an image of myself wearing a down jacket and swim trunks. The RX-8 will be stuffed, the weather looks pretty mild so far on the forecast.
