So do I read this right? You are setting up for the 4th CAA?

 

Yes,CAA4, we Texas guys and gals welcome all to Texas http://travel.nationalgeographic.com...xas-road-trip/



https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...been-here.html

 

Hot Diggity Dayum!

 

Yes, the planning is in the works! What does everyone think? Should we:

1.) All meet in Big Bend for CAA #4 and conclude the event at TMS?

- or -

2.) All meet at TMS and on Sunday all caravan out to Big Bend for CAA #4?

 

Update:
Planning is in development to bring CAA #4 to Texas/Big Bend and combine it with TMS:
Please post your ideas and/or interest

 

I like plan #1 better. My reason is that the Track is 500miles north and east of Big Bend and right on I-35 and I-20. We could caravan back to the hotel by the Speedway on friday,hang out at the pool friday night, do the TMS on sat. and drive home on sunday. This way there will be a break on the long drive home. (and the drive home always seems longer.
Anyone want to caravan with me from Oklahoma City?

 

OMG ..... I make one "long" trip per year, and have kinda thought about doing the fall Dragon again this year, BUT now, you guys throw this up just 1 month before ....... its one or the other for me! The "one who makes the rules" has lived in Texas for 13 years, and if I tell her about this possibility........ I will be in big trouble ..... and if I mention that we could spend some time in Branson, MO, either before or after. I know I'm going to cry.....
Besides ... what will I drive? The N/A Limited coupe, or the SRT6 roadster.... "Oh Worry, Worry, Toil and Trouble."

Can't do both .........
