Tour Time

[Tim the Teacher]

I am in the need for a touring event. It's been a while and I would be glad to put one together in East Texas if you are interested in an extended drive. July 9th is the date I was thinking. Show of hands if you could participate?

[tailchaser]

Great idea, Tim!

Hate to be a PITA moderator, but we try to reserve space in Events and Drives for event announcements. Feel free to discuss it here in Bull and post it over there once you have the details worked out.

[Tim the Teacher]

Thanks

[Treibenschnell]

Do it, Timmy, do it!

July 9th?? OH Great... I'll still be in Australia...

Ya'll have fun without me (I know you will!)

[OzCop]

Yeah, and I'll be flogging 'vettes at TMS! That's also the weekend of the Houston Divisional...
A fall tour would be great!

okay..so far I have two who can't and one guy who is very enthusiastic. I looked at the racing calendar and picked that date because it looked like it didn't conflict with any local Miata events.

So what do you have in Mind Tim the Teacher?? :cool:

[onething]

What POS said, TT - cut the bull and tell us the details!!!

The 9th of July will work for me, if the boss is ok with it. I was in East Texas yesterday - it is still there

[Tim the Teacher]

Moderator Moment - I've added a poll to gauge the interest in this drive.

Looks good for me with or without mrsthang. She said it sounds like fun, but then she thought about all day in the car with the wind and sun and heat. She says she'll let me know. I may be foreced to play like it is a sedan, but I'll go anyway.

[Tim the Teacher]

[Darron65]

Sounds like a great idea. Keep us posted

[Tim the Teacher]

We have 6..........do I hear 7?

[riverracer]

Ok guys....count me in...:grin: But where is Frisco and can you get there from Arlngton?

I guess I just need to know the best way to get to Frisco from here and I'll be there.
Or if there are others going from out this way we might could meet and caravan. I can do either. It sounds like a fun run to me.....
