The Po Po award is final. wifey says I should just go ahead and order it in my size. I will do that but it might have to be exchanged for the correct size and mailed to the poor loser/winner.

Yes, I am bringing #13 but I am trying to get away from the blackdeath name due to the images it puts in my wifes head because of the way I drive and the car... I am still trying to settle on a name but it is not the highest priority right now. I will probably be alone unless my son is able to make it.

Will a Ruckus historian with the time provide me the urls for Ruckus II and III. Also to proof read my other links to other Ruckus events to be sure it is the official thread. Just a little filler I want, to drum up commitments and interest to commit. I could not find the links.

Revin wanted a tease. Kerrville Trivia Founded in 1848 as "Brownsborough," the city was renamed Kerrville in 1856 when it became the county seat.
Kerrville is home to H-E-B's (the H. E. Butt Grocery Company) first store which opened in 1905, by Florence Butt.
Kerrville was home to "The Father of Country Music" Jimmie Rodgers.
Kerrville is the home of world-famous jeweler James Avery, ex-NFL players: William Fifer (Detroit Lions 1978), Mike Dyal (Oakland Raiders 1989-90), and John Teltschik (Philadelphia Eagles 1986-90), pro-golfer John Mahaffey (1978 PGA Champion), as well as 2006 Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman, and “Hagi” Hagigholam founder of the successful food chain Mamacita's, drummer John Ike Walton of the 13th Floor Elevators, and actor Thomas Haden Church.
Kerrville is the home of the Texas Lions Camp,the Echo Hill Ranch summer camp, and Thousand Hills Cowboy Church which holds free rodeo events.
Kerrville is home to Mooney Aircraft, which was established its sole factory in Kerrville over 50 years ago and still manufactures new airplanes and parts at the same location.
Kerrville is home to Schreiner University, a private 4-year college university which was established in 1923 by an ex-Texas Ranger, Captain Charles Schreiner. In 1981, the school was listed as one of the top regional liberal arts colleges in the Western U.S. by U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges Guide. [3]
Kerrville is also home to the Official Texas Arts & Crafts Fair which features over 180 artisans displaying their work under large tents in concert with a variety of Texas entertainers and great food.
Thing are going well with the planning. More teasing to come. The first post will be changing all the time.

I am staying on top of the motel situation. To grab an extra block of rooms if need be. Granted, I am working with weekend staff. I will have to say I am impressed. If you have to speak with Elise, you are in good hands. We have seven rooms booked out of twenty. I have to say this. I am impressed with this motel. Do not let the price fool you. This is not a budget motel. I checked the budget motels. This is not one. Read the "about us" linky. They have the availability for us, but, they only have 10 king bedded rooms. Some that book kings may get a double bedded room. Now, if you need/want that king, call the morning of arrival because that is when they evaluate bookings.

Every year, someone, for some reason, attracts the attention of the local law enforcement. We have finally decided to give out official recognition.
Sometimes a person is just poking along below the speed limit in a bone stock GT and completely sober and they get picked on by the po po despite the other intoxicated drag racers with big supercharged motors around him... But am I bitter?? (well yes a little)
My Indy is currently no-go so it will be my bone stock GT again and since we picked a Non-Custodial weekend I will be alone.

Both. I want to keep all from being bunched up so they can tour. My thinking is to set loose a group of five Fieros every five minutes. The same with our guest vehicles. Will someone linky me a TSD guideline ? The principle seems to fit my desires.

WAIT WAIT WAIT---I was not intoxicated when I drug Revin and his poor little fastback down the road from a roll. I mean if you would have seen the whole thing, I wouldnt even have called it a race. It was all the 20 INCH BLING that got you pulled over and cavity searched or maybe the guy reconized the car from the movie and was just wanting to get an autograph.
Don't just leave us high and dry revin. Post a pic of your beast for me for my advertisement purposes. I was looking at your sig. Now I am gonna have to change 3800SC members to Supercharged 3800.
Note to all. Post any and all Fiero pics of your proud one. We know each other but we are not the only ones that will be viewing this thread. I have failed this year. A big disappointment to me, . I was hoping to develop a method where in our rallies could pay for themselves. Every year. With a web page selling advertising. Think about it. Almost a year of viewership. 3800 (supercharged) hits. Post your pics. We can attract more perticipants and make a case for selling advertising.
Now, I have asked for some help here and there. I am not getting it. This is our rally. To be made better each year. How do we move forward?
A sad note here. I went to help a Damsel in distress. I found a route view to kill for. Plans are too set to include it (unless some would like to take a second route, a little later. Shorter, maybe 40 miles total). I am hoping to be able to film that route for revin's tease request. Titled "What you won't see".
I am going out of town for a few days. I will be doing phone work and hope to post, but.... I also hope to find maryjane but that is probably not gonna be possible on my part. If possible, it will happen. I want to see Loyde, you too Jazzman, who am I forgetting?

I'm really wanting to go...but as of right now...all I can give is a maybe...maybe not. Both my kids have soccer games every Saturday until sometime mid November. I'd really be in the doghouse if i left my wife with both kids/games to deal with for a "Fiero weekend". IF...a really big if...I do make it,I'll be tent camping wherever I can find a place to set up camp.
*Edit*...Just had a thought...maybe I can talk my parents into keeping the kids that weekend,and taking them to their soccer games,and I can bring my wife.HMMM...time will tell.lol.
Yes I did. I responded but now I am thinking I did not hit Send Private Message. I am thinking I was gonna get one more bit of information and got busy. I bet, since you did not get a return PM, my reply is still sitting in a window waiting for me to send it. I am on the road. Let me duplicate it.

pending Solstice forum moderator approval Greetings fellow driving enthusiasts. My name is Cliff and I will be hosting the sixth annual Red River Ruckus. A meet, greet, and compete with fellow Pontiac Fieros, this year in Kerrville. Rockin Red River Ruckus Road Rally. Visit this thread for complete details. This year we wish to invite some Solstice/Sky owners to share in our fun. We all have in common driving excitement. I have a great cruise planned but I can not find clubs local to me whose members might be interested. Members from every Fiero club in Texas will attend our Ruckus along with out of state Fiero enthusiasts. Many Fiero owners are interested in your obsession. I am sure you will be interested in ours. Not to mention just the cruise route is worth the effort. Could you please give me some linkys to some local to me Solstice/Sky clubs in my area? My thanks to you, enjoy. Cliff

No linky, my thread never showed up. A moderator was to determine if I was a spy-bot or an ad-bot first. So.....I went in a side door.

I went in the side door An 86 Pontiac Fiero GT, an 87 Pontiac Fiero Gt, an 88 Pontiac Fiero Gt T top, an 83 Jeep CJ7, a 70 Chevy SWB Fleetside P/U, and a riding lawn mower, I am a newb to your forum. My first new thread, my first post, was to be approved by a moderator to determine if I was an ad-bot/spy-bot. Which I am not. My thread was supposed top show up. It did not. Can you help me? I just want to spread some excietment. I would like to see my thread pop up. Sorry for the hijack but I did respond to the thread topic. My original thread below.

The good news is....we are gonna have games. The bad news is....you do not get a prize unless you win. The good news is....it will be easy to win. The bad news is....one win will not win you a prize. The good news is...what a hella prize. The bad news is, there is only one prize. The good news is...it is a point system. The bad news is...you are gonna have to play every game, . The good news is that I am eligible. The bad news is that I am the judge.

Well, it appears we may have no Solstice attendees. They are running the twisties that weekend in Arkansas. On a better note, they will be back here in Kerrville in early November for their 3rd annual Kerrville run. Kerrville is that good, , .
