Anybody ever get busted for speeding in Estelline, Texas? Pretty famous speed trap here in Texas and many have donated to the city coffers.
We are playing a motorcycle rally there tonight and plan to take some of that money back home with us assuming we can get out of town without a ticket! |

i've travelled through Estelline many times without incident

Have fun at the gig!

They had a drive thru window open 24/7 at the city hall to play tickets and there was usually a short wait. It has even had several mentions in country songs and such. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
