I may be out, the Rs6 was rear ended in traffic yesterday by a car load of teenagers who didn't realize traffic stopped.
Car is headed to Detail's Ltd, but I can only imagine it will take much more than an week to correct.
I am already looking for a replacement.
The balance of my list of cars / ppl will still be in attendance!
more to follow

update:
Bring your 2-way radios. they have proved themselves useful in past runs. kind of entertaining to listen to the chatter as well. Im ditching my $10 pair and getting a better set for this run. my old set has a 2 mile range and the new set will have 50! mile range so hopefully goodbye to poor performance, especially around those big hills near PK. if you think you are going to be doing these fun-runs regularly, invest in a good set.
A few 'early-risers' plan to come to the meet point a bit earlier (9:45ish) for a mini cars/coffee before the run. if you dont have anything to do and/or are too excited to stay home
come on down.

I've tried about 5 different sets of FRS radios and these work better than about anything outside of a pre-FCC banned radio with an external antenna. Keep in mind, nothing sold today will broadcast the number of miles they advertise. You'll be lucky to get 5 miles on completely open, flat ground with the best FRS radio.

OK ... I'm trying to decide whether to bring the wife or a friend ... If I bring the wife she'll be screaming at me anytime I go past 100 ... With a friend there's no limit ... What do these runs usually consist of? Staying in formatin at speed limit, spirited drive + - 100, or all out stupidity?

Frisco / Plano pre-meet
For those that want to, I have a group that is meeting in the Wal Mart parking lot off 121 and Main Street in The Colony between 9-9:30, leaving by 9:30a.
This is an informal meeting point. There is no need to post here, you may PM me if you know you are going to make it though.
I would assume BARA will post the pace here after reading the above post, though I will offer to lead a second group if there are two different pace's "requested"..... IF thats ok with the OP.
Looking forward to this drive!
