The Texas 8 Event -2011

For those that may not have noticed there has been a thread started in the RX8 event sub forum. https://www.rx8club.com/texas8-171/thetexas8-2011-date-set-210386/

Check there for updates on the event or to post up that you are attending so we can get a figure on how many people will be there.

Looking forward to seeing all of the original's as well as all the new faces that will be attending this year so come on out and enjoy a weekend with other RX8 owners while we have dinners, cruises, raffle's and whatever other craziness happens!

If you have any questions feel free to ask, thanks!

There isn't a registration. When the T-shirts are ready they will be posted on the site for you to order. Chances are if there are any fees we need to recoup it will be done through a raffle the day of the event.

Just about hanging out with other RX8 owners and having a good time.

Friday we meet up at the hotel and we all go out to dinner. Saturday is the Three Sister Cruise/run with everyone, which includes going to lunch. Then Saturday night is our big dinner with everyone and we raffle off prizes and what not. Then Sunday we kick it for a bit and then go home.

Glad to hear you are going to make it out!

Man I am stoked! I cant wait! Heard the cruise is long as hell and awesome! Having that many of us in a caravan through the roads and all...will be awesome! I will be taking that Friday off and the wife will too and we will drive down that Friday morning, get settled in to the hotel and then wait for everyone to finish showing up. Will there be more info as we get closer as to where we all meet and what time in the hotel? Would be cool if the hotel knew we were coming and blocked off a section of parking just for our 8's so they are all lined up and together

Haha, my wife was supposed to go as well but found out a week after we announced that it had been decided that was going to be the weekend of her best friends baby shower that she is also co hosting as well.

I got lucky though, its not like I'd be going to a baby shower regardless of if I didn't have plans or was invited lol.

I might be there, just waiting for my settlement to get rapped up. And then I have to find an 8 I like. But, no promises as of now, though I hope go back, was a lot of fun last year.

Is everyone staying both nights? I'm a little confused as to what is going on. I guess I will come out early AM and meet up for a cruse or something like that. Assuming that is what will be going on during the day. Sounds like fun.

People are encouraged to stay both nights and is actually what Seatown and I prefer people to do. The meet is more than just a cruise, its about getting to know other 8 owners. All of the DFW group will be at the hotel both nights, and as a few SARX peeps can testify, we generally have a good ol'time! If you're still a little hazy on the details, I can answer any specific questions you might have.
