Dallas to Austin
I will be there to make the run to Austin, comming in from Indiana and will be on my way. I will have a truck and trailer to park for Monday-Tuesday but my wife will be taking it to Austin on Wednesday. Are you going to send out contact information and directions? Also need motel information for one close to your place (the action). Was at a show with INDY GT over the week end and he was telling me about the run to Austin.
So add me to the list and keep me updated.

Just got back from a AZ vacation and saw all the threads on the Rally. Would love to hook up with you all. Been a while since I saw you, Gary and the SCAT gang in Dallas. I will be driving from MO, not hauling my girl and would love inside parking if you have it or can recommend if yours is full.

I'll get all the contact information out in the next few weeks. I have 2 hotels that should work but want the best parking so I have to drive them in my mustang to make sure no one scrapes...Keep posted guys..its going to be fun and we are getting more and more people.

Good idea, I will have a hole empty trailer that can haul all kind of luggage or any other items that need to get from Dallas to Austin.

Happy to have the Denmark boys 
I do have a question for everyone leaving from Dallas. The first day of the Rally is in College Station. Do you want to drive to Austin and stay at the Hotel there Tuesday night and then drive over to CS? Or do you want me to look into a Hotel and security for us Tuesday night in CS and go straight there? I think I know the answer but want to throw it out.

Thanks Matt!
Matt-
Really looking forward to your pre-rally get together. Dave's event this year appears a bit different than in years past since it starts at a the Texas World Speedway in College Station, TX. and not a hotel welcoming party the beginning night.
To answer your question and in light of the different rally kickoff, I would favor spending the night Tuesday evening in College Station to be fresh and ready for the track session. Was hoping to get two days in Dallas for the pre-rally as Chip has done with his Scottsdale gang which is very fun. So if you want a one-day pre event (Monday) in Dallas and drive on Tuesday to CS that is OK or if you wanted to back it up and have some of us out-of-towners show up Sunday to get in two-days with you, that would work as well. Totally up to you and the other participants. Just need to know ahead of time to plan the lodging and transportation logistics.
Thanks for putting this on and hopefully we can hook up with the Scottsdale group as they head into Texas as well!

Have I understood this correctly?
The start of the official Rally IV takes place at a the Texas World Speedway for an event similar to the Las Vegas Speedsway event? Then later that sae day/evening in Austin, we all meet for the first time for registration etc?
If this is the case, I guess we might just as well head directly to College Station - and set up our own little dinner/social event.

Pretty much....unless you want to join the 2 Rally to the Rallys....Dallas and Scottsdale.
Tuesday, people will be gathering in Bryan-College Station for Wednesday's event at the speedway I would assume, as well as a few in Austin, but for the eastern and northern arrivers, Austin is well out of the way. Bryan-College Station is a pretty boring town actually, but there is a superior steak and chicken fried steak place nearby in Somerville, 30minutes from BCS,south of Bryan....kinda on the way to Austin. Very old timey, not pretty, but EXCELLENT southern style, Texas meat. Somerville Steakhouse (fornerly Country Innn) Phone 979-596-1222 (HUGE portions and cheap!)

I got registered for the rally this week, and would like to spend tuesday night in College Station. Any news on motels on the track side of town?
I'm going to call a friend thats a cop down there
I'll get info and get back with everyone...there are a couple of nice hotels down there now since I went to school there. And Somerville is a great steak place...chicken fried steak is the size of a serving platter...give me a couple of days to look into it.

There are a couple of inexpensive "motels" in Somerville. I have a friend with a ranch there right on the highway. Completely private, cannot see from the road, has electric entrance gate. Ranch (with storage for 100 GT's, trailer etc) is 3 minutes from the Country Inn Steakhouse (now renamed The Somerville Steakhouse) and "motels". Kinda on the way to Austin to.:cheers or bring your sleeping bag

Thanks Matt and Nardo for the suggestions and coordination with parking, food, lodging, etc.
Mark, are you planning to attend the Dallas event as well?

I realy prefer to stay at College Station on Tuesday night. Would someone have time to pick a good motel and get a contact number to share with the rest of us so those who want to can stay at the same location?
Thats what I'm working on Blake. The hilton looks to still be the nicest hotel there and I am going to work with UPD to setup an officer to watch our cars for us overnight.
