I found this info in this thread...
http://www.rx7club.com//showthread.p...85#post2559885

Any of you guys know about/going to this?

 

I'm interested, though, I'll just be beyond engine break in, so I hope they stop for fuel :D

I've looked at the TexasRXs, but the website is usually very, very, very out of date.

 

From what one of the members says in the other Forum, it's from a "new" website... Can any of you Austin guys verify this?

 

I did a quick search on Google and couldn't find any hint of a "new" web site.

It's supposed to rain, anyway. I guess we will see...

 

they might be reffering to a Yahoo group. One of the members uses.

 

Found it! They are on Yahoo under

I joined and found the post...

SO MANY CHOICES; ONLY IN AMERICA. SEE YOU THERE. LD.

 

Due to the weather forecast, I won't be going... maybe next time.

 

I just don't want to drive into Austin for "only breakfast". I'll wait for good weather to go.

I guess I can wash cars on Saturday then :D

 

And you're closer than I am...

 

For once, the weather predictions were correct, it's pouring outside. Oh well, maybe the next run they sponsor or the monthly meet one night (since Rudy's is just a few miles from where I work).

It's about 60 miles or so from where we live to Rudy's. I'm just as close to the Forum in SA (IH35 and 1604) so maybe I should make one of the Friday night meets there.

 

How far do you think it is from the Forum (5 miles from where I live) to Rudy's?

 

Much to my suprise, it's probably about 80 miles from you.

BTW, if you ever drive to Austin, watch out as you approach Highway 1373 just south of Austin. They like to set a revenue trap using radar on the overpass.

 

K, thanks!

 

when is it rescheduled for?

Membership in the Yahoo group is open to the public and the amount of mail it generates isn't that much. I went ahead and signed up in advance of my purchase. I might even show up to one of the meetings as well even though I won't have an RX to bring with me for a bit.

 

You can opt for all e-mails, a daily digest, no e-mails, etc... when you join.

You're welcome to come to the meetings or ask ?'s even if you aren't an owner (something I wish the Alamo Z club would have done for me when I was looking @ a Z...).

 

Luke, beware the darkside! :P
