[SA] Church of the Three Sisters | Sunday October 12 - LotusTalk

...m... · 10-03-2008, 11:48 PM

Experience your car the way it was meant to be driven - join us for one of the Hill Country's most glorious runs next Sunday, October 12.

We'll meet behind Exxon at 1604 and Bandera 6.55 AM Sunday morning, and will leave promptly at 7.15 AM. Civil dawn departure is essential to keeping clear roads; this is really worth waking early for.

Our spirited drive will cover approximately 260 miles in four to five hours, driven conservatively. Due to low water crossings along the route, a postponement will be announced in the event of heavy rains 24 hours before departure. Feel free to pass along this invitation responsibly.

...quick update: word has gone out amongst the local ferrari, lamborghini, lotus, NSX, maserati, porsche, and Z-car communities, and we're still waiting to hear back from the texas corvette association and viper club of america...

...no specific attendance confirmations yet, but we might manage a notable turnout this month...

Church of the Three Sisters is an at-will drive open to all makes and models of sportscars.

Our circuit features many twisted roads and elevation changes with a few nice deserted straights for good measure. Although this is a technically challenging circuit, there's absolutely no pressure for anyone to drive faster than they're comfortable - we'll wait for the entire group at each waypoint before moving onward. It's a gorgeous drive at any speed.

Maps will be distributed before our departure Sunday morning. Hope to see you there!

Viper guys have something else this weekend...i know the Ferrari guys do as well...

Not sure what this is about. Most of the time central texas particpates in HCD.

Hopefully the weekend will stay nice though...

...church of the three sisters is an informal san-antonio-based event for folks who find HCD a touch too distant to attend comfortably...

...due to the photographer doing double duty as driver, not much attention could be spared for recording the event - if anyone else has more pictures, please feel free to post them...

...it is dark - you are likely to be eaten by a grue...

...we drew nine cars this time out: one corvette C6, five elise, one exige, one ferrari 348TS, and one porsche 924S...

...photographic evidence that we started the morning clean...

...that heads-up-display is just the coolest thing ever...

...the hiillllllls are alliiiiiiiive - with the rooarr of ennnnn-ginnnnes!..

...how many drivers does it take to change a lightbulb?..

...gorgeous and gnarly trees...

...m... · 10-12-2008, 07:08 PM

...photographic proof that we're law-abiding citizens, officer...

...what the - arrest that menace!..

...real men drive with the top down...

...even in the rain!..

...until they wimp out, that is...

...the return leg, late morning: you should have seen those RVs clipping apexes through the twisties...

...primary colors...

I've consolidated Church of the Three Sisters discussion into a single thread here, to segregate actual event announcements within the Meets and Events forum.
