Made it to Austin today
Had to leave early to make it to Austin in time for my boss' staff meeting. 2 1/2 hours to Dallas to get my dad home then 3 1/2 hrs to Austin. Car ran good. Work tomorrow & then head home tomorrow night. Wish I could have stayed for the hot rod shop excursion & banquet earlier this evening. I'm sure you guys had a great time. Was great seeing everyone & meeting some new friends too.
Thought I'd share a few pics since i'm just sitting in the hotel room this evening... Trip from Houston to Dallas... (Ok, that was before I calibrated my speedo. Was staying w/traffic - now that I've calibrated it, turns out 2500 rpm is about 85 mph ;) ) Phil's Spitfire @ lunch in a nice park... Calvin's TR6... Cars @ the Hotel parking lot... Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/24/2012 12:07AM by rficalora. |

Rob,
Sorry I didn't tell you bye. I didn't know you had to leave early. Thanks for bringing your dad to the Meet! Looks like he enjoyed it. |

He did - he's already talking about going to Omaha with me next year & may do the Stillwater/Arlington leg of the Power Tour with me.
