I have to second rallysnakes assessment. In our almost one year with the TCC (DFW area) we have been highly impressed with the lack of "snobbiness" about the cars. And after Austin, it's apparent that the whole state is the same way.
Everyone's got an opinion, but nobody looks down on anyone for the decisions they make with their car. How they build it, what they do with it, if they race it or just show it, or some where in between. Makes the advice a lot more fun to get. And the get togethers even better.
