Yes. The host hotel is 4 miles from my house. I'll be out and about in the evening time each night.

I met you at Hennesseys place at the one they had in 2010. That was the year it rained, which sucked, and I didnt make the next one. If I do go, I will be at Frankenstiens where the bikini contest is about 2 hours ahead of time. That place was crazy to try to find a seat, or even a place to stand for that matter.

I also remember the Supra starting up and taking off on its own and ramming into a wall at the hotel, that could have been nasty.

Guess their site is temp down. Like Mullet said, largest gathering of street cars you will ever see. It is something that started small and has grown to something ridiculous. There are people that come from all over the US and last time I went there were people from other countries. I wouldnt suggest staying in the hotel where they have it though, that is if you plan on sleeping.

Ok, I'll try the site tomorrow and thanks for the heads up on the hotel. Luckily I grew up in Houston and am there on business quite a bit so I have many choices on where to stay

Hands down the best car event in the country. This will be the fifth year I travel 1200 miles one way from Minnesota.

I was looking at a few and almost pulled the trigger on a silver '05 but decided to do something different.

I drove Chris's red one and they are amazing cars.

Unfortunately, my pulley/tuned GT pales in performance comparison with most of Eric's cars.

Eric's something different:

Hey Joe -

I was looking and was very close but I decided to upgrade the TTG. I'm sure I'll be back in the market for an FGT in the next year or two.

You headed to TX for mile or TX2K this year?
