I know a bunch of you guys/gals are ready for another gathering/BB-Q. So here it is! Please keep all posts on this thread related only to the gathering. I need all of your thoughts and suggestions on date/time/place etc... in order to accomodate as many of you as possible (like usual). To new comers - We usually have 20 - 40 thirdgens of all makes, models, in various stages of project completion (so don't be ashamed if your car is still in rough project status), BRING IT OUT, we want to see it there~! We also do a BB-Q where everybody signs up and brings a little something, whether it's drinks, pack of hot-dogs, paper towels.. etc... (Sign up's for items will be on separate thread). But, we always have a ton of food with plenty left over, so come hungry! Also, if you have to bring a vehicle that is anything other than a Thirdgen F-body, still please come, but park in an area outside of the area where the F-body's are (this is for picture taking purposes). Well, here is the plan.... Place: Bear Creek Park (in Katy, TX) Date: Sunday - June, 20th 2010 Time: 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM BB-Q will start at 3:00 PM, so people bringing items, try to be there by 2:00pm. Also, a friendly reminder - No Alcohol (park rules) and Harris County does patrol regularly! And NO burnouts (state law!)! Harris County does patrol the park regularly. We usually have our gatherings here and don't want to get banned! Thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc.. please feel free to post here on this thread. Mike (1bad91Z)

third gen camaro +bbq= HELL YEA !!! ill be there if GOD allows it !!

sweet is on a sunday! im off! sweet! well my car is just about done now. should be dropping the motor in in about a week or two. so im in.

ill be bringing stuff. just let me know mike. i would say a decent size cooler with drinks, and hot dogs?

Once we're all in agreement on place/date/time, I'll post a separate thread for the BB-Q items/sign-up.

I'll be there more than likely with my 4th gen

we will be there. we will bring some deer sausage again. prolly a couple a cokes.

oh yeah who is going to have a nice camera there. and now i have to start polishing.

I'll be there.. Hopefully with my new third gen... Guess I'm going to have to work my butt off to get her done by then... Eh 4 months... might be close 2 done by then. Hmm let me see my list here...

- Exhaust
- Tuning and engine finalization
- Suspension
- Stereo
- Finalize upholstery
- A/C
- Windshield
- Register and title

im in, date & time works well for me, i'll wait to commit to bring stuff till we are a bit closer and that thread gets going

hey dude if you need some help lemme know. the next couple a weekends are out. but after that i should be able to come out and lend a hand.

Well the exhaust is being handled by a shop...
Tuning.. me and Mike...
Upholstery is in the works by a shop as well.. I will let you know defiinately though...

Ouch! That's about a four hour drive each way for me - but it sounds like it's an event that shouldn't be missed! On the 26th there is another meet planned in Georgetown! Two weekends in a row of third gen meets - it's a dream come true!

I really need to get in the garage and get some work done! If I can get her painted before then you can count me in! The wife & I have a KILLER burger recipe that we'll have to bring - unfortunately it goes best with an ice cold beer!

i'm in, the date works for me.

I will be there with LSX powered third gen in hand unless the forces of nature decide otherwise.

-Z

well im in. just let me know the final date and time. so far i like this date. but its whatever. if it lands on a saturday... ill just take a personal day.

the windshield on that third gen is perfect ..dirty but no cracks !

We usually have a decent turnout with plenty of thirdgen's, friends, and food! This is the Houston area's big TGO hoorah that only happens once a year, so make sure you attend!

I'm going to let it run another week or so and then finalize the date/place/time. But so far it seems it's working for everyone, so let's hear more yay's/nay's so we can set it in stone.

Mike

As long as the weather is good i think it is a go, lets see some more people ready to roll.

W00T!!!

I'm in...

Hey Mike whats the word on renting out one of the pavilions? Last year was fine without it but i think it would be better place for everyone to congregate. Last year we were everywhere.... just a thought... the date works for me as well.

Sounds good to me. I had a great time last year. (Wow, has it been that long?)

Well, got the springs, intake and shifter today, it is officially on for me, by next month i hope to be ready for tuning.

I will be there. I would prefer Saturday, but can make Sunday work.
hope nobody's car catches on fire this year.....

man thats cold.

That IS cold!

I think Sunday will be better since it WONT be "Juneteenth", but it is Fathers day.

I called Bear Creek Park and asked to reserve Pavillion #1 for "Third Gen".
They said that they will hold the reservation until Friday, but by Friday someone needs to drop off a deposit check for $125.00.

They said it must be a check and it will be returned if all the trash is picked up afterwards. So they will not deposit it.

Anyone in that area want to go take care of it?

i dont think kevin meant it that way .. when i met him i though he wouldnt try to conversate with me since his car was all perfect compared to mine but he didnt act like a ******* like most guys do cuz they see your young !!!

At the time, Kevin's car wasn't in the condition is now (it wasn't perfect)
Although it is pretty killer now! Kevin's a good guy, I've known him for several years...

It's just his way to tell everyone to do the best they can to check out / fix your ride before you make the trip that way we can have the most cars at the meet as possible. Hell, even I had some minor issues that day!



I think the place/date/time is going to stick soon, unless anyone has any objections.

Is someone able and willing to make the deposit? I'm over an hour away from that side of town...

im open to anyday !!

Yeah I had some SMALL problems that day too but still made it out there... If i had the money for the deposit i would drop it off cuzz i live down the street from there...

Fixed it!




I keed, I keed..

But seriously, if I was you, I would not be going anywhere without one of those within reach after that happened last year. I couldn't imagine dealing with that. & your spirits staying high are even more impressive.

As far as me making the meet, not too sure yet. My car is still missing a functioning engine & is visually still close to the same poor condition as last year. I'd hate to make y'all look at it like that two years in a row.. Oh & plus I'm supposed to be receiving what some refer to as "a little bundle of joy" that is due to arrive somewheres around June 2nd. So that may damper my ability to go... ANYWHERE!!

On the bright side, I do have a steady job again now, pay is not so great but its steady so after I play a little catch up maybe I can start buying what I need to fix my car or maybe just find a little less abused shell/ interior to start on. Mine doesn't really have much going for it at the moment.

Well sorry if you didn't want to read my life in two paragraphs, it all sorta related to this thread right?

Ok.

yeah, I didn't mean it in a **** way. it just came to mind.
its a shitty thing, but I bet that story never gets to old to tell.

I don't carry a fire ext. but I think I am going to get one soon.
I would cry like a little girl if it happened to me now. I have a big dollar agreed value policy, but can't replace 20 years of memories.

anyway, Hope everyone can make it there with there cars.

NICE !!!! funny but i already have a fire exstinguisher in the car between the two rear seats... its just a grab away .... Didn't like the ones that install onto the a pillar... I do however need to go ahead and bolt that puppy down rather than have it just sitting there in mock up mode... Was kind of waiting to see what it looked like once i get my seats back from the upholstery shop. Oh congrats on the buddle of joy!!!

I knew you were just kidding. I didn't mean to give you a hard time about or anything.

OK, tomorrow is tha last day to go put down a deposit if we want to reserve the pavilion...

Remember, they will not cash your check, just put it in a folder and hold it until after the meet. As long as we clean up afterwards you will get it back without it ever being cashed (I think).


So who's it gonna be?

hmm tick tick... man I can't run the risk of it right now but i guess it was my idea to get the whole pavillion thing... lemme check with the boss when she gets home tonight and I'll post the results tomorrow...

Need to deposit tomorrow for June 20 reserve date?

Havent been to bear creek park yet but this weekend I'm suppose to head out to San antonio to meet a friend whos flying down to tune some guys lsx truck. He was gonna tune my 99 trans am as well. I think i was gonna go sat morning, so couldnt drop off a check friday. I work til 4:30 ish so not sure if i could get out there friday or not

im in, but will prolly show up in my ss.
my iroc is in wip. i need all kinds of reinforcement and such. motor and trans are gonna be the last things to go in.

For the Summer they get reserved about 3 months in advance.

If no one made it over there today we can try again next week, but they will not hold it without a check.

will they be there tomorrow?

I don't think so.

Here is the info on the park.
http://www.pct3.hctx.net/parks/bearcreekpioneers.aspx

well if push comes to shove i may be able to work something out and get over there and drop off a check... but like i said i can't make any promises...

I'll call the park tomorrow and see if the spot is still open. If so I'll leave a deposit. Is the event date firm, if not,LMK? Larry

I think the majority of the people agree on the date and time and place.. so I would say its pretty firm...

#1 pavallion is reserved for Sunday,June 20th,2010 in my name and TGO. Deposit check will be dropped off tomorrow.

sweet thanks bro...

thanks again badman.

Awesome Larry! Thanks man.

Cool!

Thanks Larry, you're the man!

Now we will have the BIG grill, lots of tables and even a couple of power outlets for a radio or something. Maybe we need a "Boom Box" with a bunch of '80's music playing.

We will even have a dry place to hang out if it rains. Speaking of that, I suggest that we do not have a rain date. We should go, rain or shine. I missed one once when the forecast called for severe thunder storms and it turned out to be a bright sunny afternoon.

Also, what about the "After party"?
Cruise to a car show?
Drag strip?
I guess it will be a Sunday so there wont be much going on...maybe a "Before" party Saturday?

Anyone interested?

if there is a dragstrip open close by it would be nice to go

Yeah i'm anxious to run my TA now with the new mods/tune.

Hmmmm....the closest to there? Not sure but Baytown is the best.
