Well it is just over a month till Seven Stock.

For the people that are planning on going to Sevenstock and want to caravan down I-10 together as a group this is the thread for the West section. There is a going to be one in each of the sections in the I-10 Cora door

As the event draws near we will have a better understanding of who wants to join in and where the can meet up with the group on I-10.

From Houston there are about 4-5 People and 3-4 cars that will be heading to Irvine with a few more meeting up in the San Antonio area.

If there is anyone that is planning on driving to SS please post in here so we can keep track and try and get a good caravan together

Hey Brian,

The typical Phoenix group will be heading out Friday morning, leaving from The Cracker Barrel on I-10 and Litchfield Road (West Side) at around 7 am. Why not take the day off and join us Earlier rather than Later.

P.S. How's the conversion running??

Edit: Sorry to cross-post, but there's a fairly active signup list for the AZ Caravan on RX-8 Club

It's alive! I need some welding done (radiator mounts and exhaust) and to finish bleeding the hydraulics and it will be road worthy.

 

Sounds good Brian. Sorry for not returning your call. Was out of town on vacation all last week. Will try to reach you on your cell sometime tomorrow to discuss caravan details.
