Default One Last Sunday Drive with LordRahl

**UPDATE**
I want to do one more Sunday drive on August 26th before I start playing baseball on Sundays in September. I have a route in mind that has a little bit of everything. Slower, small roads with sharp turns, long higher-speed straights with big sweeping curves, and lots and lots of scenery. A few of these roads are in pretty rough shape and there are a number of blind corners so slower speeds will be taken accordingly, but for the most part it's just good drivin'.

Meet up on Sunday, Aug 26th and be ready to roll out at 10am. Meeting place is the same as last time, the Circle K in Benbrook near 820 and 377.
Circle K & Cracker Barrel
7860 Winbrook Dr
Benbrook, TX 76126


Lunch is as yet undetermined. I didn't really see any place to eat so this may be a lunch-less drive. Mikey's Burgers in Brock is at a good spot and has good reviews but it may not be open Sundays, I'll have to check further into that.

Here's a link to the route we will be taking. The page shows it at almost 5 hours, but in reality it's only about a 3-hour route, even at the slower pace I was going due to rain.
Another W Ft Worth route

So who's up for a drive?
1. LordRahl007
2. brandondan1 +1
3. topher s2k
4. turbolane
5. 1qwklex
6. daddyS2000

I'm most likely in if I don't get called for work. My buddy with an EVO X is also interested if non-roadsters are allowed =p

Bring anyone you want, it's open to all. I haven't decided on a route for sure yet so I don't know how fast the pace or how hard the turns will be, but either way an EVO will certainly be able to handle it and is more than welcome to join.

Drive info in the OP has been updated, check it out. I test drove this route today and thought it was pretty good, it'll be much better without the rain I had to deal with today.

*bump*
One more day until this drive!
I haven't been able to find a place to eat, so it looks like it'll just be a couple gas station stops this time.

Check out some video of the last drive taken by S2k Manic:
