2009 International Rally Announcement

[Nancy24]

At the 2007 National Rally in Springfield, the Texas contingency was approached by Lloyd and Gerry about taking on the planning and execution of the 2009 National Rally. We were again asked at the Colorado Rally in Sept of 2007 to take over the National Rally for 2009. Those Texans present at the Colorado Rally gave an emphatic “yes”.

First of all, we’d like to give a Texas sized “Thank You” to Lloyd and Gerry for all their hard work on the 2007 Rally. They only had about 6 months to pull it off and they did a great job getting it put together. I can only imagine the headaches they had in planning it from such a distance.

At this time, the Texas fanatics are very pleased to announce the

2009 International SSR Rally

Monday, June 22, 2009 thru Friday, June 26, 2009

For me, Google Map says 18 hrs & 47 mins. 1,345 miles. I'll most likely do it in two and a half days.

[Doug Allen]

Thumper and I are in - will make reservations ASAP.

18 hours/1295 miles....................never have driven to Texas via I-10...wouldn't even begin to know where to stop for the night(s)

[Doug Allen]

Is this billed as an "International Rally" because everything is bigger in Texas?

[BlueStreak]

I would guess Phoenix/Tucson and Las Cruces or El Paso.
