This thead is to sign up to bring food or drinks for the gathering. Lets try and make this fair, everyone bring something, even if its only a 6-pack of soda.

I'll Start. :lala:

I'm going to bring 2 bottles of water per person that signs up for the gathering in the thread, one for the the park, one for the track.

HERE IS THE UPDATE LIST
StevenK - 2 Bottles of water per person that signs up, Chocolate Chip cookies, icechest with ice

FBodTrek - Fajitas
tamatt27 - 12 pack soda, paper plates, napkins
Pasky - A case of Bud (woot)
Barry85Iroc - Baked beans

TexasLT1

I'll bring dogs and buns, mayo, mustard, relish, chili, and cheese for said dogs, and if I feel really generous, I'll grab some 12 packs of coke. Obviously depending on how many people we're talking about.


On another note, is there anyone planning on going to the track, but NOT racing? It'd be great to be able to get some of this stuff out of our cars to make some runs

20N!N

I can bring soda (coke, root beer, dr. pepper, whatever) and some chips, no problem.

LT1, I'll be one o' the guys who is there, but not racing. Have a bit more work to do before I wanna head down the strip. -looks for Aarons #-

Zap Racing

We will bring a couple packs of dogs and buns.

Mrs. Zap will probably make up a batch of her potato salad or some baked beans or something like that.

TexasLT1

*cough* baked beans *cough*

beans bean the magical fruit

I'm good with either beans or the awesome potato salad, either way, Mrs. Zap rox!:lala:

Zap Racing

Yeah, I figure for those of us that are not "on the bottle", we could use a little extra "poot" at the strip!

I guess depending on how much u eat (beans that is), U could be packing a 50 shot or maybe even a 100 shot!

Since I won't have Larry's Nittos to use this time, I'm gonna start packing them down 2-3 days in advance--I'll be packing a 300 shot!!! WATCH OUT GUYS!!!

Mrs Zap said she's not sure if she's gonna drive her RS to this one--may just ride in my car, however if I'm packing a 300 shot, I have a feeling she will be driving her own car!

Craig

FbodTrek

Hmmm.....I'm down for any kind of beans, but my gas will be coming out of a blue bottle Oh yeah, and as for food, I guess I can do fajitas again, although this time I'm bringing a chopping board and sharper Knives...

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

Please sign-up.

Also, please bring something, it sucks when only a few people bring stuff, and everyone eats it all.

tamatt27

I'll bring a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper's and some paper plates or something.

pasky

I'll bring a case of bud.

FbodTrek

GUess I won't be driving up there then, I'll hitch a ride with Steven if he goes (I doubt my car making it there....), anyhow, I guess I'll be drinkin, I'll be 21 on the 4th :rockon: :rockon:

pasky

Nice, 22 here, gonna be 23 this jan =/.

tamatt27

Old farts Once you hit the big 1-9...it's all downhill from there

pasky

Yea, after 25 I get lower insurance rates...then all i can look forward to after that is....social security....

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

umm, dont want to pop your bubble, but by the time we are ready to claim social security, it won't even be around.....thanks for playing. :-)

OHH, and keep this on topic, if you post, you have to add some kind of food or drink that you will bring.

so since I posted, I will also bring some chocolate chip cookies

pasky

Hmmm, not so sure about the beer now, seems a lot of folks are under age. May just bring something else.

Zap Racing

19?

22?

Just PUPS!

Must be Nice!!! I think I'll start s "Seniors" division for the Hou area Thirdgen Club!

rbjones

If you all ever meet a little farther west I might add to the seniors' representation. They're building a new drag strip between Midland and Odessa, only a full day's drive from Houston.

TexasLT1

wow, something to finally do out there!


Sorry, but I hated Midland/Odessa when I stayed there 1 night 2 years ago, don't ever plan on going back.

rbjones

Well, I only go into that city area when I get tired of watching the grass grow. Visited Houston once--people were thick as flies--came to a stop right on the highway just because there were too many cars! Somebody said they have something called "smog laws," a pity.

pasky

Yea, I ****en hate houston. Worst town to drive in. Fricken speed limit on that congested highway is 55. WTF?! San Antonio ain't nearly as bad as that crap hole.

rbjones

Yeah, but there appear to be some pretty good folks living down there--be nice to go to one of these meets.

TexasLT1

Alright folks, here's what we've got volunteered so far:



StevenK - 2 bottles for each person, chocolate chip cookies

TexasLT1 - 2 packs each of hotdogs and buns, mayo, mustard, relish, chili, cheese, 2 12 packs of Coke

20N!N - Cokes and chips

Zap Racing - dogs and buns, potato salad or baked beans

FBodTrek - fajitas?

tamatt27 - 12 pack of Dr. Pepper, plates




Looks like most things are covered, but can some of the rest of you help spread out the load a little bit? Looks like we could still use:

napkins/paper towels
ice and icechest
cups or cans only for drinks
plastic utensils

all I can think of right now.

tamatt27

I'll bring some napkins too..

Zap Racing

Kinda depends on how many are gonna show up. Any idea?

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

I'll bring an icechest with ice.

FbodTrek

What we REALLY need is a support vehicle...perhaps a pickup truck. Just incase we have a breakdown (highly likly, these cars aren't too reliable). It would be nice to have a safe place to stow things like coolers, jack, road tires, etc. I might see if my father can play escort service in his pickup. I might be driving up there myself, but unless I get my car problems sorted out, I might miss this one . I've never been to HRP, but I hear it gets pretty crowded (not like HMP i hear). ANyhow, we'll see. (And as far as Fajitas go....iffy. I may just bring beverages this time, moneys been tight lately, got a house to help my folks pay off).

Zap Racing

Mrs ZAP says we have some cups, paper plates, and maybe some plastic forks knives etc, that we ended up with the last gathering that I will bring. I will look and try to update.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BRING SOME CHARCOAL AND STARTER FLUID OR WE WILL HAVE NO WAY TO COOK UP ALL THESE GOOD MUNCHIES!!!

I have supplied the charcoal, hickory and starter fluid, and cooking utensils for the last 2 gatherings and have volenteered it for the Dec annual gathering (Jan 1st) so somebody else can do it this time.

tamatt27

I think Steven and his gf are gonna tow his Camaro with her Tundra...might wanna check on that first tho...

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

My beast *WILL* be trailored. We will have the bed of the tundra to hold stuff

Barry85Iroc

Sign me up for the Seniors tour! By the way, I'll bring the baked beans.

Zap Racing

Would that be 100, 150, or 200 shot beans?

Gee, if MRS. ZAP sends baked beans and Barry brings his beans, it's going to be like the campfire scene in the movie, Blazing Saddles!!!

:lala: :werd:

tamatt27

Ah..you got a real car Steven? jk

Barry85Iroc

I'm bringing some baked beans. I need the gas.

Zap Racing

Barry, U already posted U were bringing baked beans.

TexasLT1

Alright, looks like I'll be bringing a few more people. Trying to get both my parents to come, could probably do the video taping at the track. My brother and his girlfriend are trailering his car, best friend and his girlfriend will probably go, as well as 2 more friends of ours. I'll bring a little extra hotdogs and stuff for them so that no one else has to cover them, just a headsup though.

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

Can someone please bring charcoal and lighter fluid for Zap to cook.

TexasLT1

Sure thing.

Zap Racing

HEY WAIT--HOW DID I GET ELECTED TO BE THE COOK?

Zap Racing

I was just reminded, that at HRP, if U run faster than 14.0 ET U MUST have a helmet! I think, if U go through tech and are not sure what U run, U get one run and then they will wipe your number.

Larry Dunlap went out there a few months ago and found this out. Maybe Larry or others who have run at HRP that are more familar with this rule can shed more light on this.

I have a helmet and will bring it and will be glad to loan it out (as long as U are not using axle bearing grease on your hair).

If this is the way it is, then anybody that has a helmet needs to bring it!

Craig

TexasLT1

Posted about the helmet thing in the dedicated thread.

As far as food goes, it looks like we're going to have a pretty good turnout. After class later I'll post a tally of what we've got so far and see if we still need anything else.

Wheel Spin

All Right, the weather forecast is looking good! We are looking forward to the gathering, looks like a good mix of nuts.

This will be the first we've attended, so we'll bring basic cook out menu:

Charcoal and Starter
1 pkg Hot Dogs
1 pkg Buns
2 pkg Chips
12 pk Pepsi
1 case Water
Paper Towels
Plastic Forks
Tongs (no "H")!
Does anyone have / expect to bring kids?
Got an 8 year old Grandson I'll share (3rd Gen Wheel Spin :lala: )


How do we sit on a support vehicle?
I can bring the 99 F-150 for gear stowage at the track (just be careful on the Paint!), otherwise bringing the Mrs' 04 Marauder for a few passes in addition to the Formula.

TexasLT1

Support vehicle should be fine, my parents are towing my brother's car to the track, so they'll also have it at the meet. Obviously, I didn't update the list. I'll try and do that tonight so that we know how we stand on food.

Wheel Spin

Yeah! Two cars to run!

OK, I'm probably overkill on food for a gathering, but it's brought to share. REALLY suprised no jokes re:

EXCESS TURKEY

Who's gonna beat STUFFING out of who?

If it just stops raining soon enough to get the new exhaust on....

tamatt27

Welp guys...It looks as if I won't be attending due to my stupid ****ing car being ghey! I'll still try to get the food and such, and just send them with Steven and Lydia....

TexasLT1

Not a bad idea, I might be able to get some extra stuffing out of my mom if she makes it this year. I dont know though, its usually gone within a day or two

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

I'll be trailoring as well, so we will have the my GF's truck to hold stuff as well.

Matt, whats up with KITT? You should come even if he isnt ready.

tamatt27

I think I am gonna come after all, I'll just bring...*sigh*...the Suzuki. I guess I'll be the Camera guy...again.
Pasky said he may come over after the meet and help me see what I'm missin' with Kitt.

20N!N

the wife came in last night with half the grocery store last night and I raided some of the stash. she picked up some dogs (need buns though), and we have some chips (cool ranch, any other orders?). I was also gonna pick up either dr pepper or barq's root beer since most people like one or the other. anyone have a preference, or want something else?
