I am thinking about throwing something together for this fall that all of us can do from all over Texas. One last big event before the Vipers get detailed and stored for our 2 months of winter!
We have had the South Texas Round Up in Austin, and we continue to do that every year.
The new 'Texas Regional Rendezvous' would be something that gets passed from one region to the other every year and done in fall. Since this is my idea I will host the first event if there is some interest in it.
I plan on it to be a 2 to 4 day event. Possible multiple hotels depending on the distance of each event. Would have a chase vehicle to transfer bags and such, no need to carry your belongings on the routes/events.
Learning from the past and the huge SNAFU we ran into with the booking at the OMNI in Austin last week, this will be an all inclusive event. Your admission price will cover all your meals, all your lodging, if I can swing a shirt and poster great but no promises yet.
Basically this will guarantee a locked in attendance and all you will have to do is send in payment via PayPal (soon to be started) or check by the cut off date. Just bring yourself, your car and gas money, everything else will be taken care of for you. It should have a little something for everyone to enjoy from show and shine events to spirited driving. We will have an attendance list and you will have a wristband and window sticker, we will do roll call before we leave and when we arrive at each new event.
This will be one hell of an undertaking for one man to put on so please vote if you are interested or not. I don't want to spend the next couple of months putting all the details in motion if no one attends.
Based on the OMNI rates for two nights and other hotels in the area with meals etc I am ESTIMATING that the entry for a 3 night 4 day event would run $400-$500, just ball parking here. This is of course unless we get some sponsorship backing from VCA, other regions chip in, vendors, etc...
If this would be of interest to you please vote.
FYI- We will not be staying at the OMNI again for this event; it will be its own event and passed on to the next region year after year. This should show everyone the great roads across Texas, not just in your own region, strengthen ties between regions and just have statewide fun!

They will be flying out after the one in LA is wrapped up.
