Default [Texas-Statewide] Driving Event - Jan. 27-28, 2007 - Raging Bull Texas Stampede IV


The Raging Bull Texas Stampede IV
January 27-28, 2007
Austin, Texas


The Raging Bull Texas Stampede is a weekend-long driving event
designed to bring together driving enthusiasts who have a passion
for driving their cars the way they were designed to be.

The Raging Bull embodies some of the most challenging and scenic
backcountry roads in the great state of Texas.

You will get the chance to drive and hang out with some of
the nicest and most passionate driving enthusiasts around.

Come for only one day or the whole weekend.
Join the group in Austin or Fort Worth.

The next Stampede will have some new features: Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, the longest private road course in Texas, will be expecting us Sunday morning for classroom instruction and driving on their 3.1 mile track. And in response to requests from friends and fans, for the first time, attendance has been opened up to sports cars of all makes and models. All Porsche, BMW, Miata, Corvette, MINI, Nissan Z, Infiniti, Mustang, Lotus, Mazda RX-7 and RX-8, Ferrari, and Honda S2000 clubs in Texas will be invited.

How well can you ride the Raging Bull?

Saddle up with us and find out.


Advance registration is required.

I doubt you will have any problem with the dips and cattleguards. For more than three years, we have not had any problems even with cars which are very modified and lowered. I drive the route at least once to verify the condition of the roads. In Texas there are virtually no dips on well-paved roads which can present a hazard to lowered cars. Moreover, this coming Stampede we will be in an area with even less chance of having them. Unlike previous years, this coming Stampede will have no cattleguards or maybe a couple. They will likely be very smooth. If not, they will be noted on the maps for their condition and location.

Hope that helps.

John

Default Is the road calling you?

Only 24 days to the next Stampede! 16 thrill-seeking drivers have registered so far to ride the Raging Bull.

Wondering what the Stampede is like? Here is the link to last year's Stampede discussion at G35driver.com:
http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73888

And here is an article about the last Stampede in Sport Z Magazine by veteran Bull Rider, driving instructor, and 350Z owner Renee Hayden:
http://www.rbtexasstampede.com/RBTSI...006_issue.html

Pictures from last year’s Stampede can be viewed here:
http://www.rbtexasstampede.com/jan2006_index.html

The 'Past Stampedes' page at the event web site has pictures, articles, and G35driver.com threads from the two previous Stampedes:
http://www.rbtexasstampede.com/stampedespast.html

If you’re interested, advance registration is required and there is a registration fee. It’s all explained at the web site.

If you’re already planning to come, be sure to make your hotel reservations before Jan. 13th to receive the discounted group rate.

Happy new year to you,
The Tourmaster

Default Don't you want to get out after all this ugly weather?

There is only one week left before the Stampede. 19 drivers who have a passion for driving and their navigators have already signed up to ride the Raging Bull, some coming from as far away as Idabel, Oklahoma and Paris and Houston, Texas. There wil be a variety of cars: 350Zs, G35s, 300ZXs, a Porsche Boxster and Lotus Elise, Solstices, a BMW 328is, an RX-7 twin turbo, 240SXs, and others.

Preparations for the Stampede are in full swing and I'm really excited. The track and restaurant arrangements are all set. I recently spent some more time driving some of the roads to fine tune the route and I am really excited how great it is turning out to be. It's going to be a challenging run for all of us. Not only that, the weather forecast for the Stampede weekend is very good: cool and sunny. That is a welcome change given the prolonged nasty weather we've experienced recently.

All the information you need to know is at the web site: www.RBTexasStampede.com

Come join us for all the fun!
