Just another thought...
I love the hill country cruise, but if the Dallas group wanted to host either an annual event or another event at some other time in the year there would be a great opportunity to utilize some of the outstanding tracks (Texas Motorsport Ranch or NASCAR circle track) in their "local" area.
These would be a little safer to "open up" or stretch the legs on some of our cars and give everyone an opportunity to stay together exclusively on a "cruise"
