Theres a couple in Goliad, Only one is nice, Antlers Inn. It might already be booked.... Then there is beeville which isnt too far, you might have luck there. Victoria is a pretty good ways away but is pretty big with lots of hotels. I would start calling now, start with Goliad and Beeville, then if you have to Victoria. Im lucky i live like 30 miles or so from there so i get to sleep in my own bed.

I'm gonna be there with a couple buddies. This is my first time but my friend has done it a couple times and said its pretty fun. I pick up my car this Thursday from getting aps tt put on so hopefully I don't embarass myself... I'll probally be the only gto there from what I heard. The guys I'm going with just all pitched in and we rented a motor home to camp out at the track in, if the hotels are booked already yall could do something like hat if victoria is to far a drive. Hope to meet some of yall out there!

hopefully if theres any other gto's out there they will be stock so I can get a certificate! I'll probally be the only silver gto out there with a Woodward (concept gto) style hood with black scoops if you wanna check it out, I'll look for your car, feel free to stop by and drink some beer at our rv if you want. how strict are they on the glove rule? I have a pair of motorcycle gloves I'll bring just I'm case. Does anybody have a good camera headrest mount? I wanna film my speedo on at least 1 good pass.

I ran 141 into a head wind with just a cat-back (flowmaster at that) and cold air. Do a search for Texas mile on google. It might be full, they started putting a limit on the number of entries.

+2! I'd love to see a full Woodward GTO in person, I'm only sporting the hood... I'm hoping to do a widebody kit soon to fit some more meat under the rear.
