Friday Oct. 2nd, 2009:

• Z Store / Registration Desk Hours: 9:00am-12pm & 3:30-5pm
• Texas Hill Country Cruise: 8:00AM-4:00PM
• Drivers Meeting in parking lot: 7:30AM-8:00AM
• 
  Drive your Z thru the Texas Hill Country. 100% of the the proceeds go to a local charity. To be Announced. 
  
  The Texas Hill Country Cruise has some prerequisites for all participants in order to assure a safe and fun event.
  
  1) The state law requires a minimum of 2/32 of an inch of tire tread. Tires start losing a significant amount of grip well before this threshold, especially on wet roads. Therefore, we require at least 4/32 of an inch on all tires. So, with this fact in hand please check your tires and prepare accordingly as participation with inadequate tread depth (4/32) will be denied. This requirement is intended to help prevent accidents and increase safety for everyone during the event.
  
  2) We require an Family Radio Service (FRS) device in every car so your lead cars can communicate what's up ahead. It's not only important for safety, but also to prevent people from getting lost. Keep in mind that local Texans can get lost on these roads, so there's a good chance that our out of town and out of state folks will get lost without a radio. Also, without a radio, you're driving blind. If one person takes a wrong turn and other cars then follow him, they could all end up on the wrong road and off the route for miles. Most FRS radios (i.e. walkie-talkies) are inexpensive and can be purchased from Walmart, Best Buy, or your local big-box electronics store.
  
  3) There will be a mandatory drivers meet at 8am in the hotel parking lot to discuss the route, rules, check tread depths and test radios.
  
  NOTE: Because of the large turn out for this event, all of these things become especially important. We feel that compliance only contributes to help make it a great, safe, and fun event for everyone!
