Thanks everyone for their patience with me in getting back to you in a timely manner. Lots going on down here in Austin and I have to do most the TCC business in the evening hours.
Looking forward seeing all y’all (collective plural) in San Marcos very soon!

[Its Bruce]

It looks like I'll be in town because I need to be in Austin that weekend for other reasons. Is there a good opportunity for a guy whose roadster is far away from driveable to attend and simply check out the cars and talk to builders? Thx

[steno]

Absolutely! There’ll be lots of folks to show their cars! You’ll get some great ideas for your own build!

[seagull81]

Its Bruce, be there Friday evening around 5:30. We have a hamburger, hot dog cook out with a donation to charity at 6ish. Most of the cars will be back form cruising the Hill Country. If you want to jump in a seat for the cruises we can find you one. Most folks leave around 9 AM. Be there early.

Hey Steve

Can you give any details on the Thursday track day? Is it a typical HPDE event with multiple cars on the track grouped by experience?

Thanks

Scott
PS - Look forward to meeting you

[7tvette]

You all have fun and be safe. I will make it down there from Northern Canada on of these years. Sounds like a great event.

Cheers

[seagull81]

svassh, It is open track. Go out when you want for as long as you want during the time allotted. No grouping as far as I know. It is a neat little track.

[Its Bruce]

See you Friday night in the hotel parking lot. I'll have my wife and a friend from Singapore with me; I look forward to seeing their reaction to the cars.

[PaulRSchmidt]

My wife and I will be stopping in Friday evening as well.
