That's a shame. I was curious to see which M5s you were talking about:

A room just opened up at The Leakey Inn.
830-232-5246
Just so you'll know,
I've sent a PM to a couple of guys
and making a post on the group FB page.
Good luck, and hope to see you there.

Hey Sherman,
Are there any specific plans for the weekend? You mentioned something for Saturday right?

You should be able to find some of this close by; that ought to be a good substitute for E85, don'tcha think?

I was told one of these goodies was a jumbo sized California Duster with a custom m5 insignia? Sherman this should be right up your alley as my 255's show no mercy.

Perhaps we all pitch in with our dusters & can have things cleaned up by sunrise?

The car mount for my phone arrived today. Without the mount I could only do a Map View(see example below). I can now make track videos using the Torque app. My only wish is that I had an "Upload and Auto-Delete" function to avoid any incriminating situations on the side of the road.
I found this example of the Map View on the internet:
And here is a screen shot of what the Track View video looks like(all gauges are optional):

Have fun this weekend, fellas. It's official; I won't be able to make it. Was hoping things would fall into place, but this weekend cinched it.
Expecting to enjoy it vicariously by way of pics, video & testimony.

One day Dave, it'll happen.
Should have plenty of pics and videos.
Was thinking about you just yesterday... (at least you'll be with us in spirit).

Sorry to hear Dave, but I understand. I've been trying to get out for this for a couple of years now.
Next year...

Making final prep to the cars now. A little tweak here & there. Hopefully a special 'package' I ordered will arrive Wednesday to provide additional traveling protection .

Looks like this is going to be a game time decision for me. Anyone with a single have extra room for me on Sat night?

Bring some sheets and we'll bring an air mattress. There are several floor spaces available.

Looks like I might actually make it to the whole weekend this time, fingers crossed!
Are there any rooms open? I guess I can call there tomorrow and see whats available, otherwise I have an inflatable bed if somebody has some spare room.
