Pre Rally Thursday 9-15

[Silverbullitt]

I'm working on a special event after lunch on Thursday. Once I get a confirmation I'll post the plan.

BBQ?

BBQ?

There will be BBQ on Sunday at dinner and also on Wednesday at dinner in case you are in town by then. I'll post the Wednesday itinerary tomorrow. I will also post Thursday tomorrow. I'm waiting on a phone call for a surprise tour of a major racing vendor in the area.

Dr Frank will be looking at home improvement shows, we will be going to Simpson Racing for a private tour. We will leave from the JW Marriott at 10 for a hill country drive stopping at a lunch spot in Gruene. Time permitted there are several shops to tour then on to Simpson at 2:00. I'll check this thread for a head count for lunch. Simpson also has a factory store that includes racing suits, helmets, and 5 point harnesses.

Not sure how Thursday is going to work out as we might head to Cota, and also coordinating car delivery. Point being not sure if lunch or the drive will work out for us. I assume it would be OK to just show up at Simpson at 2, if we can make it?

Please count me and Patty with friends Gaylyn and his wife Dawn. We are planning on getting in on Wed trailering two GT's from FL and will miss Sunday's drive as we will be driving back home after race on Saturday. So would love to do the lunch and driving Thursday.
Thank you, David

Count us in for two (Tim and Kim). Although we will be driving a rental car so we may not be able to keep up.

I think you'll find rental cars are always the fastest

Small world story. I found out about Simpson Racing tours through the regional Shelby group. They will be there at 9.

We'll meet up with you in Gruene for lunch (Gristmill?), only about twenty minutes from the ranch
