3rd Coast is always the larger event due to distance. Even for us down here in DFW, it's a 5-6 hour drive to Rockport.

Easter is March 31st this year, so no conflict there. Main thing is everyone's going to want to check out the 'peachy' car!

Note: the previously posted picture of Sean's car and squad cars are pre-supercharger. Could be a different result this next time, if he chose that route.

True, this time I might not be limited to the speed limit and might get a ticket.

FYI: Speed limit has increased from 70 to 75 down this way

Poll is indicating Fri, Apr 19th - Sun Apr 21st, so lets just go with that weekend. I just got off the phone with Judy at The Lighthouse Inn and she said there are 17 rooms left. These are the rooms left as of today: 8 rooms King bed Bay Side ($129), and 9 rooms Dbl Queen Bay Side ($119) I will block out 15 rooms, so call now to book your room because they do go fast. Call Lighthouse Inn at: 361-790-8439 and let them know you are with the 928 Owners Club for your discounted reservation. Any question, shoot me a PM. 77tony
