Baytown is probably the farthest (60 miles?, Far East, 1/4 mile). Seally a LITTLE closer but not much(40 miles? Far West, 1/4 mile). The 1/8th mile track at HMP is probably the closest (30 miles? NE) but I have never been there. (All distances are guesses based on Bear Creek Park as a starting point.)

Closest is Houston Motor Sports Park and Lone Star Raceway Park 'Sealy'

Neither is really close to the park for people like me who can actually SEE the gas gauge move almost as fast as the second hand on the clock... LOL

YEa, i would definitely be down for the 1/8th mile, would be a blast, not to mention i have 26 inch tall ET streets that are perfectly suited for the eigth mile and 4.30 gears.

30 minute drive? No biggy. I will be driving that far, actually longer to get to bear creak.

Where you are coming from HMP would be WAY closer. It is just inside the beltway on the North East corner.

A Saturday night trip to HMP wouldn't hurt my feelings any.

Looks like Saturday June 19th will be "TXDRL DRAG WARS" whatever that is.
Friday nights are "Import and test&Tune". Friday might not be as crowded...

this is off topic but esc did u sell the wheels ??!?

If we arte meeting sunday it would work out great for the track if we did decide to do it.

man the last time i was there they had to spend 45 minutes cleaning my trans off the track. 2002 chevy silvy ext cab. stage 4 4l60 and a 150 shot. did clock off some 8.2 and 8.3's before she went.

Nope. He never called back. I'm thinking about getting some pictures and posting them here this weekend.

So who wants to go to HMP Friday and who Saturday?

When, what weekend? If my car is going i will be interested in running it, if not, i will run the wifes TA If there is an even like you mention that saturday, you wont be able to run.

I thinking about the same weekend at the Houston Meet.
Like the Friday before, that way we can have some new time slips to brag about.

If you want to go somewhere before that, how about Seally?

ok well if poeple call me cuz 2 other did ,then all let u kno .!!

that thing is CAMMIN!!!!

Try to stay on this thread as I use it to get a rough headcount..

Just a reminder:

Place: Bear Creek Park (in Katy, TX) - Pavilion #1 (Thanks Larry!)
Date: Sunday - June, 20th 2010
Time: 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM

As we start to get closer to the summer, I'll post a BB-Q sign-up thread and a RSVP headcount thread.

Meet June 20th, but track before right? That will be fun

i would be up for some track time, what ever day works best for most ppl works for me

Dropped off check and we are all set for the meet. Off topic but while I was at Bear Creek I voted in the primarys(early voting). There are some very good admendment proposals on the Rep. platform, I think most would agree. Remember,if you don't vote you can't make a difference no matter what your politics or party. Larry

I would not recommend going to the track before the meet in case of breaking something there or getting stuck in traffic on the way out.

The goal is to have as many thirdgen's at the meet as possible!

Afterwards if you guys want to head upto a track, then by all means!

The meet at the park starts at 2:00 pm.

I dont know the track dates down here but if its on a saturday or friday night before the Sunday, we should try to go.

We are talking the friday before, i would be down by then, might use the nittos to ensure nothing brakes instead of the ET streets.

TTT - to keep fresh in people's heads!

guess i need to start cleaning

relax lance you got atleast a month or 3...lol

yeah but i have to have her perfect as possible dude. you know me.

same here polished and waxed ! an waxin my wheels since their painted lol never done it before !

TRYING to have it running in 3 days....doubt it will happen but it should be in.

damn still don't even have my motor together yet... and i got one rim still needing finishing polishing process...

ttt -

rims finished and interior back together minus the stereo.. motor still not set to run... no exhaust

She is alive!!!

cool zone. i need to see if my deal might go thru in time. if not oh well. a carbed 350 with an lt1 cam is in the works. my tired 305 is really tired. but my 99 vortec 4 bolt is in peices right now. i am hoping that i can at least get the 062 heads done to comnpliment my 350 and lt1 cam. should be good for now. the 350 is out of a 1993 truck. we will see.

My 355 in the wifes car with unported heads runs great with a 230 single pattern cam.

TA sounds like a beast !

ttt

My ride is officially ready, so for me to not make it it will have to break between now and then.

Nice!

So what do think it will run?

lol mine is not ready yet..... still working on her.... blah.... soon to go to exhaust and windshield and tags ... yippeee


zone you must be big on the two tone thing

zane we need to get together and both sand our cars for a day or two lol. gotta love orange peel!

its gonna be nice to have a pavilion this year, thanks for putting the deposit down badman!

I'm planning on going. Took some stuff apart last week but shouldn't be a problem putting it back together. Sandblasted and painted/cured 'VHT' headers, brake booster, master cylinder. Touched up the firewall, fenders and frame rails. Did lots of rewiring with spark plug and accessories wires running under the headers. The fuel lines are run through the frame and exit right by the fuel pump. I polished the a/c plumbing with a Foredom flex shaft dremel tool. Next will be an electric fan setup.
Some bad pics.

Looks real good jupiter. Big improvement from the last time I saw you.
Did you touch up the nose also?

Dunno...smoked a GTR last saturday though, busted his AZZ, my buddies 7.5 1/8th mile nova cant keep up with me, i stopped mymy buddies 11.58 malibu giving him the move but we need to run heads up, surely a low 11 sec car though.

Well, it just works i guess, LOL.

Maybe, i need to do some touch up here and there before budding, so i am not in a hurry, the car is for getting in feelings more than a show car, LOL.

Again...Nice!

Once I have my car put back together we ned to finalize the plans for a "Drag Day".

Thanks Kevin. Not touched up yet but, a friend and i are thinking of spraying the whole thing if not just the nose and other touch up.

Drag-Day AND/OR Dyno-Day!!! lol

GTR's trap 118 mph. Sounds like your car is moving Zone!

dam you guys are making me jealous... here i still haven't got to even drive my new car yet.... err!!!

drew is that picture (profile pic)... your camaro ?!?! looks sexy in red !

Ma, i wanted to do the 1/8th ths Friday but for 1, i am working, for 2...got got no cash...LOL.

Would love to see what my ride puts down!

Well, the malibu we built did 117 on 1 pass, so i am assuming u have some extra, i wish i could do 125 but there is not that much power in it...yet...

Just time and money brother
