The Raging Bull Texas Stampede IV
January 27-28, 2007
Austin, Texas

The Raging Bull Texas Stampede is a weekend-long driving event
designed to bring together driving enthusiasts who have a passion
for driving their cars the way they were designed to be.

The Raging Bull embodies some of the most challenging and scenic
backcountry roads in the great state of Texas.

You will get the chance to drive and hang out with some of
the nicest and most passionate driving enthusiasts around.

Come for only one day or the whole weekend.
Join the group in Austin or Fort Worth.

The next Stampede will have some new features: Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, the longest private road course in Texas, will be expecting us Sunday morning for classroom instruction and driving on their 3.1 mile track. And in response to requests from friends and fans, for the first time, attendance has been opened up to sports cars of all makes and models. All Porsche, BMW, Miata, Corvette, MINI, Nissan Z, Infiniti, Mustang, Lotus, Mazda RX-7 and RX-8, Ferrari, and Honda S2000 clubs in Texas will be invited.

How well can you ride the Raging Bull?

Saddle up with us and find out.

Advance registration is required. There is a registration fee.

And since I'm only 23, I'm not allowed... 25 and up only... Or you can have a 15 and under passenger.

And since I'm only 23, I'm not allowed... 25 and up only... Or you can have a 15 and under passenger.

Yep... it seems they feel you have poor judgement...

Given that good driving habits are mostly the result of sound judgment and driving experience, all licensed drivers (and passengers eligible by the State to be legal drivers) are required to be at least 25 years old. This rule was established based on the nature of the event and experience at previous Stampedes. Licensed drivers and passengers younger than 25 may be allowed to participate if they are recommended by an Officer of an official and recognized car club directly to the Tourmaster via email. This will allow drivers who are known by their club's leadership to possess good driving habits to participate in the event as a driver.

Note #1: The primary reason that the rule above applies to both drivers and passengers is because the Tourmaster has no way of contolling who is driving a particular car when there are two or more licensed people in a vehicle.

Note #2: Children 15 or younger are also allowed to attend. License and proof of insurance requirements listed below do not apply. However, they do need to sign the liability waivers.

So does registration just get you registered or does it also get you the MSR part, "Sunday morning for classroom instruction and driving on their 3.1 mile track."

That would be the freaking deal of the century for a focus day at $30.00......... Somehow I think there may be additional fees.

[Titus]

8:30 - 10 am
Instructor-led class at Motorsport Ranch
Line up cars at paddock area following classroom instruction
Practice classroom teachings in lead/follow paced laps at speed on the track
Regroup for Q&A with instructor after track time

90 minutes that includes a class before and Q&A after. Sounds like you will end up with one 20 minute lead/follow session.

Guys and gals,

I am sorry for leaving your questions without answers. The email notification did not let me know there were replies. I just happened to be browsing through the forum and saw all of the replies.

To answer your immediate question: There are no other fees or fee for the MSR part.

A similar question was raised at an S2000 forum, so instead of re-typing a long reply, I will just insert the link to that post:

Any other questions, just holler.

There is only one week left before the Stampede. 19 drivers who have a passion for driving and their navigators have already signed up to ride the Raging Bull, some coming from as far away as Idabel, Oklahoma and Paris and Houston, Texas. There wil be a variety of cars: 350Zs, G35s, 300ZXs, a Porsche Boxster and Lotus Elise, Solstices, a BMW 328is, an RX-7 twin turbo, 240SXs, and others.

Preparations for the Stampede are in full swing and I'm really excited. The track and restaurant arrangements are all set. I recently spent some more time driving some of the roads to fine tune the route and I am really excited how great it is turning out to be. It's going to be a challenging run for all of us. Not only that, the weather forecast for the Stampede weekend is very good: cool and sunny. That is a welcome change given the prolonged nasty weather we've experienced recently.

All the information you need to know is at the web site: www.RBTexasStampede.com

I hope at least one Miata will join us.

Titus told me he was ready to "ride the raging bull", but that was something involving POS, and not this event.
