DFW caravan on 8-7-15 to 3rd Annual Texas FT86 meet
 

This thread is for everyone in DFW or surrounding area interested in attending the 3rd Annual Texas FT86 day! It is NOT an actual cruise, just an organized drive down to the meet.

For those unfamiliar with last year, here is the thread (the first post shows the actual times and stops we made): http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69847

With that being said leaving earlier on Friday is better as we will have to deal with less traffic through out the drive, especially in the Austin area. Last year we hit Austin around 5ish and dealt with rush hour. I think the best scenario for us is to leave the southern DFW area around 12-1 at the latest.

**UPDATED** (as of 8/4/15)

MEETING TIME: NOON

Here is a map with our current planned route:

This map says it will take 5 hours and 41 minutes @ 312 miles.

The map shows our:
1. Meeting point (I20 and Great SW PKWY@ Kroger parking lot) this is just as an idea, I tried to find a south central location in DFW.
2. Stop in West at the Czech stop (104 South George Kacir Drive, West, TX 76691)
3. Lime Creek
4. Meeting point for t-shirts and possibly dinner, Toyota of Boerne, 31205 Interstate 10 Frontage Road Boerne, TX 78006

I will always do my best to update this thread when I can! :thanks:

I'll definitely take part but isn't the meet on the next day?

Whoops didn't read the whole thing sorry haha

Count me in.

Interested

Awesome! I'll add you guys to the list!

Can't wait!

I'm down

I'm a maybe!! I'm driving down to waco that day to spend the night so I might tag along

Will it be the same route as last year? Do you guys want to go to the salt lick instead of getting pie at blue bonnet? I'm open to suggestions. Austin is a hot spot for home made food you can't quite get anywhere else.

Added you guys to the list!!

I'm open to whatever, last year when I proposed the route we took it was mainly to avoid 35 lol. I thought the route was pretty fun and easy to navigate but we can take the same route but just turn off on 1431 in marble falls to hit lime creek and then head to Austin or do 35 or something else?

I edited this map with salt lick at the end just to see. Is this the right salt lick? I didn't realize it was that far south of Austin lol

OR we can always stop by the Czech Stop which is awesome.

I love the Czech stop, I always get too much food lol

Same, it's just so good.

drive down
 

I am trying to get off to drive with y'all so at this time Mr Blue will be there
i will let you know if cant make it thanks:w00t:

Wait @Shneegle is going to be driving down there with us? If that's the case I can still go but someone else will have to drive behind him. My front end is still effed up from last years drive down there.

@Husker BRZ I guess our stop will be Czech for lunch ish. Add it to the first post please

@Shneegle , @carbonBLUE , @Dustin , @Ramster , @Texaz Boy , @ZachTTerrell , @mr blue

I updated the first post with our route going down 35 with a stop at the Czech stop. Let me know if I need to change something or anyone has suggestions. I hope I tagged everyone lol

I still want to hit up lime creek as our warm up before twisted sisters the next day. Any chance of adding that to the route?

I got Lime Creek added to the route!:burnrubber:

What's the Czech Stop?

It's one of the best places to eat!! But seriously it's pretty good, here's their website. If you have a sweet tooth you'll love it!

Only some of the best Kolaches I have ever had!

can you change the beginning to start location -> 360 -> 157 -> 66 -> 308 -> I35E south

Those are a bit twisty and would be a good start to our journey :)

This the right path?

Yeah that's good enough, just as a side note. Cops are spotty along that route, so sometimes they are present and sometimes they aren't . I know everyone will be anxious for Saturday. If you want your warm up for Saturday, do it at lime creek!

So as of right now, we're taking 35?

As of right now yes. I changed the beginning of the route to what @carbonBLUE suggested. This will still take us to 35 we will just get there a little further south (just north of Hillsboro area)

Alright sounds good. I'm peeling off at Temple anyways

What time are we departing? I have a doctors appointment I need to schedule. I will also be celebrating being 1 year cancer free on this trip! Woo hoo. Those who remember I was heavily medicated last trip and very talkative on the radios lol

You guys are gonna have an adventure just driving down here! And, talking about the Salt Lick, The Czechstop ... yum.

I would say noon maybe a little after. I know that's what we aimed for last year. If everyone says that works for them then I say we go with it!

And congrats!! I can't think of a better way to celebrate!:burnrubber:

Haha that's our plan! Hopefully we have no one go into a food coma after our late lunch stop lol

If I can make it to the event, I will definitely be coming along on the caravan. Just not quite sure if I'm going to be out of town that weekend, yet.

Sounds good! I'll put you on the list as a maybe for now!

I'm a definite now! :party0030:

I have a doctors appointment at 11:15 that morning, so either I'll make the initial departure or I will meet y'all on the way

Okay cool. I'm sure we could wait a little while for you as there will be stragglers like last year lol You gonna make it to the Thursday meet the night before?

i might wash the car that night or int he morning, is your number still the same? i could give you a heads up on how late i will be to the depature party

Okay cool. Yep it's still the same.
