Tour to Mary’s on the Brazos in Tin Top Texas this Saturday, Nov 10

We’d like to get together this coming Saturday, Nov 1, for a breakfast/brunch drive to Mary’s on the Brazos in Tip Top Texas.
 
For everyone that would like to join us, we’d like to gather at our favorite departure point, the Home Depot parking lot in Cleburne (just north of hwy 67) at 9 am.
 
We’ll plan on a ‘spirited’ drive on some of north Texas’ greatest twisty roads up through Granbury and on to Mary’s on the Brazos, arriving about 10 am.
 
After brunch, we’ll do a two hour loop, returning to the DFW area shortly after 1:00 pm!
 
Please let us know by ‘rsvp-ing’ to this email if you’re interested in joining us so that we can verify seating for all!!  (In other words, if you don’t respond, we may not have a seat for you!)

We have an ‘Early Bird Special’ 15% off special on the event that lasts until November 17th.  The discount is automatically calculated.

This gets any customer a single camera file for $8.50 plus tax (download option), or all their files for  $45.90 plus tax (also a download option).  Or, there is an option for us to ship the Event CD for $54.40 (plus tax and shipping), that gets customers TWO 8×10 prints, and a custom printed CD cover (and we also setup the order as the above mentioned download so they have access to their files quickly).  Lots of options in between those prices also.  The ‘Early Bird Special’ also applies the same 15% off on any print or poster order (like the one shown at the event).

If there are any questions, anyone can always contact us directly or at either phone number below.

Want to drive COTA?

Since we told everyone at the club’s HPDE weekend, I will spill the beans here now.

Lone Star, Tejas, and Houston Chapters have joined together to host a Club Race/ HPDE/ Autocross/ Car Show, 3 day weekend in March of 2013 at “The Circuit of Americas”.

The date is not completely set YET, but we feel we are over 95% sure of this happening. Spaces will be limited and hard to come by. Members who have participated in the clubs HPDE’s and Autocrosses will be given a 3 day advanced window to register for this event first, then remaining spots open to the 3 chapters members for another 3 days before BMWCCA national members being able to register.

If one saying ever held true for this event, it is “YOU SNOOZE YOU LOOSE”. Don’t wait to register or you will not get a spot. We are extremely proud to offer our chapter members this opportunity. Stay tuned for when the registration opens!
