DFW **** Hard 8 Cruise **** Sunday September 9th
What is it: A spirited drive on fun, twisty, two-lane, back roads with a lunch break at The Hard 8 restaurant in Stephenville TX.
When is it: Sunday September 9th meet up at 10:00 AM, Drivers Meeting 10:20, Depart 10:30 sharp.
Where will we meet: Parking lot behind Whataburger (was Albertsons parking lot, Albertsons is now closed) physical address for your GPS or Googal Maps. 8510 Benbrook Blvd, Fort Worth, TX, 76126. If you are coming via I20 /820 take the 377 south Exit to Benbrook, Whataburger is on the right side of 377 just south of the access road.
What’s for lunch: The Hard 8 is an excellent BBQ place. If you have never been check it out at. www.hardeightbbq.com
How far is it: The route we will take is about 90 miles to the Hard 8 and should take about 1.5 hours. The route back will be a little longer. A copy of the route details will be available at the Drivers Meeting.
What to bring: GMRS 2-Way Radio set to channel 5.5 (radio not a must but will keep you informed if things turn up along the way); Show up with a full tank of gas and a healthy appetite.

It was a great day for a Corvette back roads cruise to the Hard 8 in Stephenville. Thanks to Torch Red Tim for leading the caravan. The roads, weather and of course the food were just perfect. Hope those on their first cruise with us enjoyed it. Here are some pictures.

We sure had a blast!! Thanks again TorchRedTim for getting it all together. It was the perfect weather for it and the Hard 8 was awesome! It was nice meeting everyone and seeing some really nice vettes. Looking forward to the next one- but my wife Melissa thinks we should change the name from the "Hard 8 Cruise" to the Hard 8 Rally or the Hard 8 Race... Lol... Cheers! See y'all soon!!!- Joel
