At this point the Lone Star Rally
will go on as planned
Please continue to check this web site
for further developments (9/15/08)



From the pics I have seen, I don't see how Galveston can handle this right now.

 Well as much fun as the LSR is my 2 cents it would be better off to either postpone it till later or cancel it all together just do not see how they can get it together to have such an event.I know the money brought in would help the locals but just do not see it.

This is link to lodging on the LSR website, many places have posted messages that they are closed until further notice;

I've never been to LSR, and wasn't going this year, not being a rally kind of guy. That being said, it would be nice if the folks that would be going, or those that know people who would be going, (like me knowing some of you guys), could do something for the folks in that area that have had their lives uprooted.

 Well great idea lets say take the money you might have spent in Galveston and give to whatever groups are taking money like the Red Cross and say its for the Galveston relief or some other organizations cannot think of any at the monent but anyone have any groups let it be known

From the Statesman this am:

Now, these are mostly Central Texas links, (although Red Cross is national), but I'm sure the local papers where we are all at have similar info.

Is The Spot gone?  What about the other places along the seawall?

[DavidJ]

The Spot is there and did not get too much damage.  I saw the owner on the news last night standing in front of the place talking to a reporter.

[justin69]

[Gumbo]

Good information, thanks for the update.

[pacrat]

it will be interesting to find out where they plan to hold it in Houston...the old Astroworld site?

[bIgPrO]

The  Spot suffered minimal cosmetic damage. The Hooters, Balanese Room are completely GONE! Dennis has been on the island since Saturday evening the day after IKE. He has been cooking residence food that was thawing and going to spoil since Tuesday. He has been getting ice in and giving away som e beer and beverages to island residents.

On Wednesday evening someone donated a huge generator that is providing electricity to The Spot so residence come there and watch the TV. Heck, he had about 15 people there watching football last night.

There are talks between several bars on the island about holding a charity ride slash poker run for the people in Galveston.

Updates to come as soon as I get them...
