damn lot of driving the first day... but oh well.. got to pay to play right.

Looks good Robert... Not sure if we want to drop in any fuel stops in there at all... It may be worth it to verify a few stops.. i know they get few and far between in west tejas (should we bring tow strap. haha)

The maps said it was just under 7.5 hours from San Antonio to El Paso... I rounded that off a little to seven hours (the maps always seem to be a little long time wise) and added a hour for lunch and 30 minutes for a fuel stop or two... if we are 30 minutes late, the Dallas crew will probably be the same since I figured their time the same way...but, this can be adjusted...

It is a long drive the first day, but lots of folks mentioned they didn't want to drive all day and still be in the same state...

We can certainly refine this as we figure more of it out... Thanks for the comments, Looking forward to this Kyle...

Kyle .... Austin group can meet up and head out 290 west and meet the San Antonio group in Junction for a gas stop and then on to Ft. Stockton for the next stop and then El Paso/Las Cruces.

Exactly what I was thinking, and any of the central Texas peeps that want to join us for that trek can do so... Dripping might be a good rally point for the Austin and surrounding areas or Johnson City for those coming from further north...

Not kidding, been talking to Granetelli, pretty much decided on his kit... Going to talk to Corey about putting it in... as well as probably forged internals, better axles, clutch, and some suspension parts...

Kyle and SSE4, My wife and I are planning on just waking up at zero dark thirty and driving down to SA and rolling with them. My wife is not an early person, so I am considering the Junction option.

If we get enough together and SACC and H-town know we are going to meet up with them at Junction, I might go with you guys and wait for them there too. PM me anytime.

Junction
Easier for us, all we have to do is take 290 west and wait for them to come up I10.

Have coffee and shoot the .... before they make Junction.
