Default Saturday, April 7, 2012 Drive - Cranfills Gap






I want to do a Cranfills Gap run on Saturday, April 7, I have a super twisty route to Cranfills Gap planned already!

Saturday 4/7

Cranfills Gap

Meet in Cresson, Texas meeting between the Exxon Station and the Shell Station on the corner of 171 and 377
Exxon‎
9521 E Hwy 377
Cresson, TX 76035
(817) 396-4273
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Exxon:...m&z=10&iwloc=A

Meeting at 10am. You will need to top off your tank at the gas station so please be early rather than late.
This drive will last into the afternoon.

Lunch will be in Hico, Texas at the Koffee Kup Kafe
http://koffeekupfamilyrestaurant.com/

After lunch a fairly straight route will be planned to go back to the metroplex

Please read this post before going on this drive.

Please check all fluids (brake, clutch, coolant, and especially oil) and tires for pressure and thread depth (4/32) before coming on the drive.


So who is in?

Might be interested. Is this going to be a pretty spirited drive or more casual?

Also, I dont think your last two links are going to the place you intended

It isn't a street race, so figure that people will space and then regroup.

Make sure you have good tires, as the last thing that needs to happen is someone going off into a fencepost.....again.

I apologize for organizing the C&C meet the same day! If those listed for C&C want to cancel out that's fine, in fact I'd rather do the drive myself!

I'd love to come but my wife's birthday is that Friday & apparently women get multiple days to celebrate.

And yes, large fence posts win in battle with S2000s. Drive within your limits guys.

Yeah, but he's got red lug nuts which are worth another .06g worth of grip. Bling offsets mechanical grip, every pimp knows this.
