Ok thanks, I think I fixed the links.

And I almost never carry cash so thank you for the heads up on Cash only at Salt Lick BBQ! I hate paying through the nose to get my own money out at the machines inside restaruants!! LOL.

No big deal, just pop a Chevy LS6 motor in your 928 ... oh wait, I think someone already tried that ;-)

Having led the fast group in the past, and having the luxury of planning the entire route, plus pre-driving it, added up to a small advantage in my favor. The turbo didn't hurt either

BUT:

Even with the extra HP's of the turbo, keeping away from Jim (can't remember if it was last year or the year before) in his not so stock GTS was not easy. I would watch Jim (admittedly a better driver than I) catch me in the corners, and I would pull away in the straights.....and by pull away, I don't mean turning him into a small dot, I mean getting out of his way for the next set of corners......that sure was fun.

I know it is NOT normal for guys to read instructions (funny, we were just talking about this at work yesterday . Please get your significant other, girlfriend, wife or mother read the Third Coast Event Page which every one on my email list was mailed a few weeks ago.

Get them also to read you this :
Third Coast Check List
____Hotel Reservation at Hampton Inn On The Lake (Marble Falls, TX)
____Jacket (warm clothes for any cold evenings)
____Two-Way Radio (at least 1 with a minimum 2 mile radius)
____Third Coast TShirt order **Through Registration Sheet**
____928 Owner's Club Membership (so you can get your free tshirt)
____Cash for Lunch at Salt Lick BBQ (No checks or credit cards accepted, ATM machine on site)
____$4.50 Cash for Wine Tasting at Hill Country Olive Co (prepaid Friday/Saturday registration)
____Jeans, Cowboy Hat, Boots and Bling (for Saturday night's dinner) **Saturday is traditionally the "dress up" night.
____Wash supplies for Car Show
____Car Information Sheet to place in dash of your car for the car show

**Friday night Wear your Favorite 928 TShirt so Newbies can find persons of the group.

Car Registration form and maps being mailed tonight - look for them in your mailbox tomorrow.

If you do not receive your car registration form and maps tomorrow (Wed Oct 23rd) - that means you are not registered.

I am putting in orders for the coolest Event Tshirts right now - so order yours now.

Alternate hotel accommodations: LaQuinta across from Hampton Inn.
