Kelly and I were discussing organizing a weekend day-trip of the twisty roads either in the Hill Country or Arkansas. What we are thinking about is leaving the DFW area early on a Saturday morning and heading to the twisties. Depending on who goes and what their budget can handle, we will either come home on Saturday night or get a cheap hotel and continue on Sunday. If we decide on a day trip only, be prepared to leave DFW around 8:00 am and not return until after nightfall.

The options are Texas Hill Country, where we will explore the area west of Austin and hit all the good roads that the area is known for.

Or Arkansas, where we will take the back roads up to the Talimena skyway and stay up there for an afternoon of fun in the Ouchita mountains.

The biggest expense would be fuel, but we will guarantee lots of fun and great roads to explore. Both areas are about 3-4 hours from the DFW area, so we should see about 8 hours of seat time in the twistys.

All interested in going to Arkansas on Saturday August 18th, let me know!

that sounds like fun...

 

if we go to through the hill country i could get some friends from SA to go to

 

If you guys come to the hill country I'd be down for joining you if you guys are ok with it, I'm sure the other ATX evo's would too.

 

Sounds good! I'll keep y'all posted once we solidify something.

Nobody in NTEC wants to get out of the city?

 

this sounds like a lot of fun. i just need to know of a date a head of time

 

I've done the talimena run before and would love to do it again.

 

If you Big-D guys come down..........let us(ATX Evo's)know. We can all hit up on Lime Creek Road..........its a pretty entertaining drive.

 

It sure is! I've ridden it many times on my bike, but have never taken the Evo; it's certainly on my list of roads not to miss.

 

Do you work every Saturday?

 

If you do Arkansas, you can probebly get all the Okie Subarus to come too. I'm down either way. I haven't done this yet since I've moved here.

 

depending on the date ,im down

 

Arkansas sounds great. I used to ride with my dad through there for camping trips on his cruiser when I was little.

Last year, I met one of those OK guys with this very nice WRX who said they love to run the AK mountains. His car was definitely well set up for it. He said that any time we want to come up they would join us

 

any update on this

 

We are waiting on a couple folks to get some things done to their car, and I will try to generate more interest at the monthly meeting next Tuesday. I will update the thread next Wednesday.
