[San Antonio] Church of the Three Sisters | Sunday June 21 - LotusTalk

...m... · 06-11-2009, 09:22 PM

Carpe Diem!
Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year - what better opportunity to 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, June 21, at dawn.

Note the new location - we'll meet beside Chevron at Stone Oak Parkway and Huebner Road 5.47 AM, and will leave promptly at 6.07 AM. Civil dawn departure is essential to beat the heat, literally and figuratively - this is really worth waking early for.

You're Invited.
Church of the Three Sisters is an at-will drive open to all makes and models of sportscars. Our spirited tour will cover approximately 260 miles in four to five hours, driven conservatively. Maps will be distributed before our departure Sunday morning.

Feel free to pass along this invitation responsibly - hope to see you there!

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

Our route 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!

I'd be there if I could. This kind of thing is what keeps me wavering between staying here and pulling up the stakes.

Hey Matt,

I was one of the odd balls who voted for a location that noone else voted for. If you should ever be so inclined to reset it, I'd go with Helotes. Since I live in BFE it's 6 of one and half dozen the other. I'm just sayin'.

Conan · 06-19-2009, 03:51 PM

I plan on being there.

bigDog · 06-20-2009, 05:54 AM

Dang,

I don't pick up my new "2005" Elise until Monday.

MyFutureSelfnMe · 06-20-2009, 07:18 PM

My boss wants me to move to Austin, but so far I've successfully resisted.

These events basically don't exist up here. Perhaps it's the $75,000 sticker price of an Elise here.

...m... · 06-20-2009, 08:45 PM

...they didn't much exist here either before this year...

...after i bought my elise, i found myself wishing for three basic outlets to enjoy her: locally-based spirited drives, periodic cruise-ins, and an annual exotic festival...so, i organised our local lotus club, founded the first outlet, and am working on the other two...

...sometimes the best way to get what you want is to simply take the initiative and create it, i think...

MyFutureSelfnMe · 06-21-2009, 11:52 AM

It's a valid point. There are a few local owners and I think I know most of them. As far as I know they need these things too.

By the way Tony, I do plan to make it to a LOONY event some time. It's just that Buffalo is a bit of a hike and my schedule has been hectic to say the least
