[FCA DFW] 5th Annual Primavera Texana Del Motore "Lunch Commute" April 28th

We're having the 5th Annual Primavera Texana Del Motore "Lunch
Commute" Saturday, April 28th. We'll be leaving from Carrollton and
ending up in Sherman.

Jonathan Peck at RUF Auto Centre has volunteered the location at the
starting point. Thank you to Ruf and Jonathan for supporting the
club. Ruf Auto Centre is located at 3219 Commander Dr, Carrollton, TX
75006. Commander Drive runs west off of Midway a few blocks north of
Keller Springs. We are gathering around 9, leaving at 9:30. It's
important that we leave on time, and I'll explain why at the starting
location.

The route will incorporate some driving on tollroads to get out of the
Metromess. Please bring along $2.00 in quarters or a tolltag.

The route is about 120 miles to the destination in Sherman, and should
take around 2 hours to run. We'll be ending at a steakhouse just off
the highway in Sherman. After lunch, it's about an hour back down I75
to the McKinney/Allen area.

There's no entry fee for this run, but you are responsible for toll
costs and your lunch. Due to insurance requirements, there will not
be any competition or awards this time. It's good friends, good
roads, and good times. Norwood Performance and 4M Paint and Body have
donated some door prizes to be raffled off at the destination. Thanks
to both organizations; they are both great supporters of the local
exotic community

The route includes many miles of 2 lane rural roads. Please remember
that this is not a race nor a speed contest, and all participants are
expected to observe all applicable local and state laws. While the
route has been checked for suitability, the possibility always exists
for damage caused by debris in the road or other situations. The
organizers of the event and club officers cannot be responsible for
any damage. Drive friendly

Please let me know if you're coming to the run, as I need a head count
for the restaurant and for creating maps. If you have questions,
please contact me via email (faster) or by phone @ 214-695-4764
(please leave a message). Please see

Thanks for your participation in the club events. Don't forget that
the club is having a car show at Boardwalk Ferrari Maserati June 2,
organized by Rob Lay. See
http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144688 for details
on that event.

 

Frankly, I screwed up. I don't think there's enough lead time to get the artwork created and the shirts sold/ordered/printed/delivered before the 28th. I'm going to be out of pocket much of April and won't have a lot of time to work on this. Sorry


Entry list

Grigio 328 GTS
Blank 328 GTS

 

Plan on meeting up around 9, leaving 9:30 ish, lunch around 11:30

That's the normal timeframes, although we always seem to run a bit late.

The starting point & route will not be publicly published. Starting point will be sent via email/PM to those who have let me know they are coming. Maps will be handed out at the starting point.
