Bronco Off-Roadeo in Austin next summer

[Ft. Worth Rob]

I just received an email from Ford with this info. I don’t have any other detail but figured I’d share.

I got that and was going to sign up but the link takes you to BN and you have to opt into 3rd party information sharing. WTF? And you need to contact them to opt out after the fact?

Exactly. I posted this before and I'll keep beating the drum because I have a strong personal aversion to my info being sold or shared online, especially when it's done in a duplicitous way.

Quarry inside the Robinson Ranch. It's not a public spot or place anyone off roads. Literally 5 miles from my house.

When I heard Austin I assumed/hoped they meant Hidden Falls Adventure Park out by Marble Falls. I know that place like the back of my hand and helped cut several of the trails back when they opened up like 15 years ago or so.

edit: Wait, next SUMMER??!? Summer? In Texas? In a quarry? No cooling breezes at all. Do they understand what heat stroke is?
