The Houston area Thirdgen.org. members present the:
2006 FALL BRAWL
THIS IS THE BIG ONE --THE BIG THIRDGEN MEET/WEEKEND YOU'VE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR!!!
WHAT: Houston area annual BIG gathering/BBQ/Day at the Dragstrip!
WHERE: LONESTAR MOTORSPORTS PARK -- (SEALY DRAG STRIP)
Lonestar Motorsports Park - Home Page
According to the LMP web site:

# Houston to LONESTAR: 38 miles.
# College Station to LONESTAR: 77 miles.

Directions
# TAKE INTERSTATE 10 TOWARDS SEALY, TX. TAKE EXIT 713 (BECKENDORF RD.) AND FOLLOW THE SIGNS TO LONESTAR RACEWAY. SEE YOU AT THE TRACK!
If U are coming from out of town, Please go to the LMP web site for more info such as directions, accomidations, ETC!
WHEN: Saturday -- 11/18/06 -- From the time Sealy opens (11/12am) til they kick us out! (dark?-- we/they are not sure of the hours of operation for 11/18/06 at this moment)
WHO: All thirdgenners from all corners of the Universe!
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME!!!
WHY: Cause it's the COOL THIRDGEN thing to do!
Traditionally, the last few years, we have had our big meets in a park, burn some dogs, vote and award appearance awards, have a mass cruise to either a local Sat night car show, or to one of the local drag strips.
This year, by popular vote, we have decided to have the entire meet at LMP/Sealy. At the time I am posting this thread, LMP is not 100% sure of the hours of operation, but they are guessing they will be on winter hours of opening around 11 or 12 in the morning and going until dark--maybe later. Our plans are basically, the meet will start when they open and go til they close, or kick us out, whichever comes first.
It's 10.00 admission per person, and 10.00 for a tech card to run on the strip. If this changes I will post it here!
We will still have our world famous BBQ--"BURNING OF THE DOGS" -- a pot luck meal where everybody brings a little something like hot dogs or burgers + buns--chips --drinks-- tater salad --deviled eggs --dessert like cookies or whatever.
Also, they do have a concesion stand there at the track with typical track food/menu.
After the BBQ, we will all vote using a preprinted ballot form, and give out the appearance awards. Winners will be determined by votes cast by all who attend!
AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED FOR THE FOLLOWING CLASSES!
(Thirdgens only!)
Best Paint--overall exterior appearance
Best Interior
Best/Cleanest Engine engine and compartment
Best Tires/Wheels
Best Sounding Exhaust at Idle
Best/Long Distance Award
Best Overall-- All categories combined
Awards will be what are commonly refered to as "dash plaques" They are an engraved, credit card size plaque, that U can display in your car, on your tool box, wherever!
As well, through out the day we will have:
Test-n-tune runs!
Grudge matches!
We will also continue with our:
"HOUSTON'S FASTEST STREET DRIVEN THIRDGEN!"
This is a double elimination tournament in several different time classes! (if there is enough to do this). There will be plaques/awards given for the following time brackets:
11 sec
12 sec
13 sec
14 sec
15 sec
Houston's Fastest Thrdgen--Fastest overall ET of the day
Quickest reaction time-- from all the runs in the elimination ladder (does not include TNT runs!!!)
The elimination ladder will be after the BBQ/Awards are over--later in the afternoon. Hopefully by then will have had a chance to make a couple runs to see what kinda times U are running. We will pair off 12 sec cars with other 12 sec cars--13 sec cars with other 13 sec cars --ETC. It will be a double elimination ladder -- which means U have to lose twice, before U are officially eliminated from the inner club event.

Because of a drag strip scheduling mistake, the LMP web site shows the LMP drag strip closed on Sat. Nov. 18th-- this has been changed--Please see below!
LATEST UPDATE:
LONESTAR MOTORSPORTS PARK IS OPENING UP JUST FOR US. THE 2006 FALL BRAWL IS ON AS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED!!!
After receiving a phone call from his secretary this morning saying they would not be open, John Hennesy himself called me, and we again went over the details of the event. He said he will open the track at noon and stay open until dark-thirty. It will be an open track/Test-N-Tune day with the track open to anybody, but will feature the Thirdgen.org show that day, including a dial your own time" complete elimination bracket race if we choose to do that instead of our own time bracket ekimination tournament as originally scheduled!
I myself would very much like to run a complete "dial your own time" double elimination race--not many tracks I know of would go to the trouble to accomidate us like LMP is willing to do.
John Hennessy has shown the type of upstanding person in rectifying this situation, and the type of quality person he is and how he intends to extend that trait to how he runs LMP. He should be commended for his efforts, and I highly recommend we support him and the efforts of LMP in the future!
Now here's the deal, I have spent a lot of time and agrivation, as well as John going out of his way to accomidate us, so we need to come thru and have a good/BIG turn-out for this event. In between all of U that said they would come in the head count thread, and even those of U from out of town that said U were coming--PLEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE SHOW UP!
Even if U are not going to make any passes on the drag strip--show up for the meet!!
Sat. Nov 18th at Lonestar Motorsports Park! NOON!!!
