    The route is out, was about to post it and got a revised version? Already? So standby!

    I just printed it off. I'm sure we'll see a few revisions. Any idea of where they post if their will be activities at each venue? I'm wondering if we get to take a lap or can go on a ride around the track in Austin.

      That's one thing I never knew... what was at each venue... I think the first day was autocross (awesome) and the 2nd or 3rd day was drag racing? Then it seemed like... that was it?

      Since Jena isn't going this year, I don't have to hear how hot it is, so I don't have to go to the hotel after 15 minutes.

          No lunch stops/tours/open house noted either, unless I missed it.
          GM G-bodies, because I can't afford a 69 Camaro.

            I'm going to miss having her with me this year, but it's going to be great to not hear after 15 minutes "It's hot here, can we go to the hotel now?"

                Way over my pay grade.
                I enter the venue and hotel for each stop in my favorites - and when I get lost - pick one. I'm not shittin ya - several years ago the grandkids loaned me a Garmin (oldest one works for Garmin in K.C. but talking to him is like talking to Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory) and I figured out how to turn the volume ON when I was done and headed home. Yea, technology is not my forte, nor do I care for it to be.

                  Half the fun is trying to figure it out as you go. Don't sweat the small stuff.

                        I'm always amazed at the amount of people that can't navigate by map.

                          Well, it has been my experience when using a human navigator to give me turn instructions. They either come too soon and I forget what they said or they come a 100 yards past where we were supposed to turn.

                            It's becoming a lost art like so many other simple things!

                              That sounds like me with the gps.
