During our Austin December Meet we talked about the poker run and places to eat. After our meet I drove to the Salt Lick to check out the parking. All dirt, so the Salt Lick is out.
-------------------
I cruised down to the Gristmill River Restaurant in New Braunfels, and the parking is satisfactory (no dirt, tar base & plenty of spaces). I believe Blake is going to talk to the Gristmill manager about the food service (pay as you go for 200 people).

New Braunfels will require a long run from 360/2222/620/71/RR12 through Dripping Springs, Wimberly, San Marcos, then a parallel route along I35. This might take well over 1 hour, one way, to do. (My next question is how long of a poker run do we want to do?)
--------------------
RCS (Bob Schench) was going to check out the County Line on 2222 & 360, and report back on parking and food service. (We had our first meet there four years ago.)
RCS was also going to check out the old Austin airport and see if we could do some racing.

"In fact for lunch, I'm going to talk to the city and see if we can rope off a huge section of the downtown Auditorium or Coliseum parking lot. We'll have our choice of a half a dozen restaurants right across the street. Simple, fun, and no deposit required! "
