Dallas Rally to Rally IV

[Indy GT]

Uh Dr. Frank, Paging Dr. Frank!!

The winery has wine and cheese tasting at 5:00. Would like to be there by then, but no contact from IndyGT yet. Must be out of the country.

Ok, Ok...
I was just waiting to see if I could get Dr. Frank to STROKE OUT!!!!

I am here, just had to do some work for a bit to pay for this extravanganza!

I am in!

Booked the romantic winery with you and Mark. (Got the Vensus room right next to yours.....so no acting up....)

Matt and Mark, I will be in Sunday afternoon at the Dallas Plano Marriott as you suggested. Be happy to help out but will be without GT until our Shelby arranged semi arrives. Thanks guys and looking forward to our get together!!

Hah, I booked the S&M room! Beat that.

"Hah, I booked the S&M room! Beat that" :willy

Thats funny! S & M Room, BEAT THAT!!!

By the way guys, College Station only a few miles from LaGrange, Texas.

OK, I reviewed this whole thread. Looks like I need to book a room at the Marriot in Plano for Monday night. From what I see, probably better to fly into Dallas Love than D/FW cause it's somewhat closer and cheaper to get to the hotel.

Texas guys, does this sound right? Will talk it over with IndyGT.

Plano Marriot hotel seems to be farther North than what I would expect, since we're going West on Tuesday afternoon. Is this closer to Aggie's and Fubar's for easier vehicle drop-off, etc? Just curious.

Thanks Frank

Love field is closer but DFW Airport is a straight shot down 121 so both airports are a pretty simple drive. I wouldn't worry to much about that choice.

Yes, these locations are close to Matt's house. That makes it a little easier for tailer drop off. It is a relatively new section of North Dallas so the roads are new and wide. The shops and hotels are also new and stylish. It is kind of the "hip" suburb for now.

 

[fjpikul]

Good, thanks Fubar. I'll look for cheaper flights over location of airport. Frank

We will join you from around monday afternoon - my brother Martin and my good friend Soren (he also attended Rally III) and I.

See you in Dallas

:cheers

Just Don't let Soren read the directions to get to Austin !! :biggrin

My wife finally got her days off confirmed, so with our registration now in, we are a go for the Dallas get together as well.

I will have my truck and trailer going all the way to CS from Dallas and then on to Austin, so I will have room for "extras" as needed.

Now I just need to lock down my hotels for Dallas & CS.

I just wanted to add this to the diner discussion. I ate at Jasper's the other night and thought it would be a good location for our group. The place has a very unique menu and it is a little less "stuffy" than Bob's.

Thoughts?

If anyone has trouble finding a room in CS let me know. I booked two rooms at he LaQuinta and only need one. Indy GT is going to the Wine shop and I have not cancelled his room yet. Need to know by 10/9/09 or I will cancell

 

[Fubar]

I wanted to know if anybody was planning on having a GT appropriate jack at the CS event and/or The Texas Mile?

No jack, but I'm planning on bringing an air tank & gauges, torque wrench (for standard lug nuts) and OBDII reader.

If no one else has spoken for it yet, I'll take it.

I still have my suite at La Quinta as well. I may hold it just in case we need it as a spare.

Matt
Not sure I am going to make it to any of the Big D event(s) you are putting together. I am transporting the car to Austin and driving, and was not sure I would be able to get back to my driver to get back to MO. Plan now is to drive down Mon nite and hang out in Dallas for Tuesday, and then go to Austin for the night, or drive Tuesday to Austin.

Will let you know for sure after I see your schedule of stuff Tuesday.

I have a nice low profile jack. Still trying to figure out the logistics of getting my Hoosiers down to CS and Goliad. Fubar, are you getting your stuff hauled by Blake? I may have to get back on that bandwagon if he is coming back through DFW. Perhaps my stuff can be picked up and dropped off at Matt's before and after the Rally.

That is my plan for now. If anything happens to that, we will work it out.

 

[The Grey Ghost]

Is there still secure trailer parking available?
We would just need some where to drop the trailer w/GT for Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.
We're trailering on in to the track, but don't really want to drag the trailer all around Dallas.
I'd just hook up to it after the car collection tour for the trip to CS.

Still have room for luggage if needed.

[Nardo GT]

Is this the plan??

""Let's rearrange the car museum so that people can plan to fly in on Monday. That actually makes more sense. Arriving in CS at 3pm wasn't going to add much to the trip.

Me and Matt will take off Monday to deal with incoming trailers and plan for a group
This lets everyone else fly in on Monday as their schedule allows them.
Dinner on Monday night around 7pm.

Then Tuesday morning we all drive over to the museum (leaving around 9:30).
We come back to the trailers no later than noon and pack up.
Head out to CS aroud 1:30 - 2pm (grab a quick lunch along the way)
Arrive in CS around 6pm""
