Texas Running of the Bulls
The Lamborghini group is putting together a week end run to the Blue Bonnet Inn for partying and BBQ and then on to College Station for the night. The next day will be a full day of wide open throttle time at Texas World Speedway. Any brave souls that want to get on the track with us Italians are welcome, let me know, we are in the planning stages now.

Probably too soon for my GT1 to arrive. Perhaps after then?

Wow, I'll have to go check it out since I'm not THAT far from college station. Getting to see/hear a bunch of lambos running would be really cool.
I'll have to see if I can't get something that can make good full range audio recordings.

I would be happy to get out there and run with you. It would be great to see how one of our little cars could hang with those cars on a big track. I can probably gather up some other PCAers and BMWCCAers to join if you wish. I am up for anything after mid-May. What dates are you currently considering?

We do not have a date set yet, but if the mid May time frame works for you, I will put it to the group. Of course all the PCA, Vinatge and BMWCCA people are welcome.

I will be running with the PCA at the Motorsports Ranch the weekend of May 17-18. Any weekend after that works pretty well. Once you get a date, I'll send a note out to the local clubs.

TWS is a kind of a long drive away for me but I suppose I might be able to make it.

It looks like a running of the bulls may turn out to be a stampede. This just in from the Lambo group:
Hi Lonnie, Thanks for getting the word out. It's likely 100+ cars will be interested by the time everything is said and done. We're having a difficult time picking a date, due to conflicts. May looks unlikely, I'm finding these things take alot more effort and planning than first thought. The new game plan is to contact TWS and secure a date/dates the track is availible. I suppose if we have more than one choice on track dates we can run the options by those expressing interest so far. My feeling at this time is fall will have weather and lead time better suited to making the event a huge success. Regards, JRV www.pinnaclemotorsports.com

Here are changes to the Texas Running of the Bulls:
Pinnacle Motorsports is proud to announce the First Annual "Texas Running of the Bulls"...which is a Fun Run to Blue Bonnet Farms in Bellville, Tx. Blue Bonnet Farms is a sprawling beautiful Thoroughbred Horse Farm in the rolling hills of Bellville, owned by my very long time client and friend, Mr. Ed Perwien. Mr. Perwien is the original owner of a 1972 Lamborghini Espada and as such is the Grand Father of the Texas Lamborghini owners. He has graciously offered his farm for a great meeting place and B-B-Q. The Driving and Partying Event will honor Lamborghini and be the unvieling of another client Mark Carneys 98 Diablo VT-TT (twin turbo). At present we have about 10 Lamborghinis signed up for a run from their respective cities of Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio out to the farm. Originally we were shooting for late May , but the date and format has evolved into a Fun Run-Party- BBQ on Saturday Oct. 11th at Blue Bonnet Farms in Bellville, followed by a High Speed Track Day at Texas World Speedway in Colledge Station on Sun. Oct. 12th. At this time I'd like to extend an Invitation to include any Sports Car Owners and Fans that would like to join in the Fun Run and BBQ to Bellville on the 11th and/or the High Speed Track Event at TWS on Sunday the 12th.. Any interested parties leave messages here and I'll get back to you individually with the details or email me directly to recieve more details and/or to sign up. We have guys in Houston, Dallas and Austin that will be trip/field co-ordinators, and are looking for Squadron Leaders from San Antonio and other cities to co-ordinate from there. The event is open to Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Pantera, Alfa, Vectors, etc., etc.. The approximate sign up fee for the BBQ/Party at BlueBonnet Farms for Saturday the 11th is $25.00 per person (children under 12 $5) and is limited to the first 100 signees, and the sign up fee for the High Speed Track Event at TWS is approx. $350 per car with a maximun of 40 cars. In the event the Maximun number of cars attend the TWS event the fee could be adjusted lower to reflect the reduced spread per participant. For Additional Sign Up Informatin email me @ jvallan069@aol.com If you or someone you know wants to Help Mark Carney and Myself underwrite this event (pay deposits) and become a Sponsor with your name attached to all marketing literature to be distributed contact me @ jvallan069@aol.com for details. Also to insure everyone has a good time and gets home safely, Pinnacle Motorsports will be providing our Track Support Vehicle and Trailer to insure the cars safe return in case of anything unfortunate. I am hoping that providing a safe secure way home, just in case will alleviate trepidations about any and all of the driving activities. Hope to see you, your family and friends there ! Happy Motoring.

Lonnie, October is still a long way away, but I think that I would be interested for both the bbq and the track day. I'll see if I can generate any interest with the local PCA.

Great! Hopefully I will be able to make at least part of this. If nothing else I will have to come out just to see the cars.
