How about a fun drive in the hill country?

I know what yall are thinking...didnt we just see this guy like twice in one month?

 

Well, I was out shooting videos of a couple state road projects, and I decided to take the roads less travelled since it was 70 and had the car....I found some great roads that rival 170 in Lajitas, but are an hour away from San Antonio, near Medina, TX, and Leakey, TX...I am thinking a 200 mile drive with some good top end driving and hairpin hold on to your britches passes, 6 in a 50 mile stretch to be exact....WAY FUN! It made our Devil's backbone run in September look like a flat ride.

 

So my question to my Texas and close state buds- when would yall like to do it? December, February, March? not interested?

 

Also looking into a wonderful HUGE track setup in mid-Texas....but thats another thread for later!

Slight misdirection from topic but I am now in Houston and wondering if anyone in the area is getting together anytime soon? This week I am swamped with the new job but thereafter would be interested in ogling a few cars if there is a cruise in going on in the Houston area.

Yeah, I think March would be a good month! Let me look at some stuff and see what I can put together....I agree Sherri, we need an overnight so we can visit without needing to get back...We can meet for a late breakfast, early lunch maybe in San Antonio, do the Western Hill country on Saturday, stay in Kerrville or maybe even Fredricksburg, and do a drive up into Austin on Sunday...that puts us all in a central location to make it home Sunday afternoon...let me crunch some numbers!

 

Wait, someone else wants to plan a get together? What, Terlingua wasn't enough for you, or are you just trying to hone your skills?

Well, what can I say, my car gets lonely, and I love the sight of 20 Shelbys!!!! :happy feet:

Thats right, you just moved there! Welcome to Tejas! Lucky for you, Houston has weekly meets for the Shelbys and other cool cars, so fear not! Sherri (MSMAP) can give you all the details of the weekend fun they get to enjoy! :drool:

Welcome to Texas rown4au. I sent you a PM.

 

If anyone is up for a cruise on Nov 22 starting at Deerbrook mall heading up thru Sam Houston National forest and ending at Lake Conroe your welcome to attend as I would like to have some shelby's along with me so I'm not alone. Another club I'm a member of is putting on the cruise and there are several Vipers, Z06 vettes and slomaros in this club.

 

Here's the website www.texasperformanceevents.com If anyone would like to join

Im in Warren, How many san antonio people do we have? I can think of 5 off the top of my head. Maybe we can get together like every other friday somewhere for good food and conversation?

 

Once high school footbal is over and I get "some" of my weekends back I am thinking about doing the get togethers somewhere here in San Antonio (North side probably). I will send out info in the next few weeks.

 

With the holidays approaching I am thinking about one the first part of December and one in Jan and then doing it every other week unless people think that is too often, then just monthly. They do it every week in Houston and Denver, but those are bigger citys.

Keep me posted Sean, I know that when i was in the svtoa club we used to get the same core of 4-6 people to meet up once a month, and so hopefully we can get it with a consistant amount of people. I've seen recently 3 other gt500's and a SS in the 1604/281 area so maybe we can go somewhere and be spotted to wrangle in those guys.

Yeah, I saw a White/blue stripe coupe day before yesterday on 281N and 1604...sure seem to be some here in town, just not here on TeamShelby....

 

Us and Captain Beyond and Lee are about the only active members from our area I ever see posting....but we can include John over in Seguin too...and there used to be one in Stockdale I saw from time to time.

Rick,

 

Guess I need to keep March week-ends open. I'm in with the Terlingua for Harris Hill and will plan on stretching the GT500's legs for Warren's Hill Country excursion. FYI, for March be weary of the public school Spring Break period or you might loose potential cruisers !! :stirpot:
