Greg, I hope you come to Texas and have a GREAT time... it sounds like a real 5 Star event. I've been fascinated by the Texas 1000 ever since I first read about it a few years ago. Maybe one day an entry for me will be in the cards. I have four Ford-powered cars (three running, and '68 Mustang under restoration) but keeping them insured and two kids in high school takes up all our discretionary income.
But, hopefully this year I can take a few days off and come down and see the cars passing through Wimberley or some other location along the rally route.
In 2002 The Shelby Cobra Association of Texas put on the "Texas 289" from Dallas to Carroll Shelby's ranch in Pittsburgh, Texas - but it was a casual cruise, not a competitive timed rally. It was a lot of fun, regardless of the foot of rain we got that day! Click to:
SCAT Texas 289 for write-up and pictures. We had entrants from as far as California bringing original 289 Cobras, and they drove them in the rain! Maybe someday we can do it again in conjunction with the Shelby Texas Nationals.
Anyway - looking forward to meeting you, hopefully in the Lone Star State this fall!!
