gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

i have seen a few people say they would like a fall meet. i was thinking the first of november since it SHOULD BE cooler. give me ideas and see who could all attend. i suppose bear creek park would be cool as well.

also lets look at a track day as well. ideas will be needed for it to. i know on other forums we parked at the end of the bleachers in the rock parking lot and hung out for a while.

I'm getting married that month bro so for me its gunna be a no go... maybe earlier...?

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Im down to make it if i am not training or working.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Congrats bro. Are you sure the fiancee wouldn't love to add a car meet to your
honeymoon plans?

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Of she did then every guy there would be hitting on his girl for being a true car enthusiast :P

I'm up for just a cruise to resturant X, like we did last year. As for what resturant, it doesnt matter to me. Anywhere in houston is cool with me. October-Dec are all fine with me.

What if we did a meet at resturant X... followed by a cruise.... to Royal Purple Raceway..... ending with track night.
This would let people show up for just the parts they like. Also, the last 2 times I went to the track were in June of this year. Both times were for Friday night street night, and both nights there were not a lot of people there. I showed up at 6pm and raced until about 11pm, and both times I got in 8+ passes. I guess its the economy, but the lines at the track are not what they once were. Or maybe I was just lucky?

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I like that idea. I should be ok for the track by then. Am working on getting
my clutch pedal situated in the next couple of weeks. Got the pedals and
waiting on other parts.
My Plan...

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

ha one the second date with my wife we went to a car show. and she bought me the car i have now for my 41st birthday.

and no she will not go out with you.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I think a restuarant cruise type thing would be pretty cool. If its in October i'd be more likely to make it though. I've got some updating to do...

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

i think a restaurant and a cruise would be good.

what restaurant and where. and how far do people want to go to get to the track.

we need to find who all would be willing to go as the track is down south.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

lets plan this out people. we need ideas on the restaurant!!!!
then plan on the drive to the track. suppose the end of october would be cool.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I'm going to choose 2 resturants, to get this started. Dennys on Bay Area BVLD near where Saturn dr intersects it... kinda on the way to fairmont PKY.

The other, TGI fridays, near beltway south side and I45. I dont know if either one of these are desireable, but I figure this is as good a place to start as any. If you disagree, then please post up an alternative.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Uh, is this falling on its face, or is it just too far in advance for people to get modivated?

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

i'm in :thumbsup:

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

In. I vote for TGI fridays.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

october 9th or 30th or nov 20th. those are the only sundays. i will have to find out about saturdays. saturdays used to be only bracket days. i am going to email them.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Unless something comes up i'm in. I just got through
setting up my new pedal setup and master cylinder
for the clutch. Tomorrow i'll pull the tranny and install
the hydraulic bearing and cross my fingers and hope
this will all work.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

no more weekend races at houston raceway park except on fridays. and that is in the evening only. so a track day is out. got the email back today.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

trying to get my car going to make this! making a cardboard intercooler to test fitment right now!

Anyone interested in a cars & coffee meet up in the EARLY morning then take a cruise and eat lunch? just throwing the idea out there. would have to be the first saturday of a month I believe

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

i believe the best we could do is maybe!!

we did this before and it was pretty cool. lets do a cruise like tpe does. meet up somewhere near town. cruise thru freeport then to galveston. eat in galveston and take pics. then cruise off.

the alternate is a park get together.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

guess this is falling apart.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

i'm still here! :burnout:

we need a date/time/location

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

waiting on HKE to finish my 408, should be rolling in about a month.
So I am in.
November should be good for everybody, it might cool down to 80 outside by then.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

NICE! is that maggie gonna be able to feed that many cubes?

November sounds good to me

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

well the plan is to upgrade to the 2300. But there are some questions about the hood clearance. the hood bracing has already been cut once to fit the 1900, so I can't really cut any more away. if the 2300 wont go, I would still be around 625 to 650 rwhp. maybe wait a while and then have Hawks make me a zr1 type hood like they did on the storm trooper car. but they had around 130 hrs labor in that hood alone. stupid crazy $$$, but it would be off the chain.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

November sounds good to me.

I'll be at the WHM Blast To The Past car show this weekend and
hope i won't be the only 3rd gen there. Anyone going let me know
so we can meet up.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

whoa man that car is gonna be nuts, your poor clutch:burnout: you may be able to get a fiberglass shop down here to do it for you, if you have to pursue a custom hood shoot me a PM I know a great shop down here in Kemah that does carbon and fiberglass work

I was trying to make that show but I'm still waiting on parts...

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

The trans am is in paint and being finished right now so i will have two cars there if everything goes right.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

:goodidea:

What about T-Bone Tom's in Kemah, and then across 146 to the
Chick-Fil-A meet on sat's. It was still going on last week, and
DESPARATELY needs some GM iron to offset the 'stangs & Mopars.

Regardless, I'll be there for moral support, with status pictures
of the formula. ;)

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

someone needs to take this over and make it work. im too busy at work and taking care of family to keep it going.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I start the police academy in October so i am trying to get prepared for that, so thing are kind of up in the air right now,

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Subscribing.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I'd be interested in this if the meeting place were in a more central area of Houston. I'd love to meet some of the local Third Genners.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

think this has been snubbed.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Maybe now that we finally have some decent t-top weather, people will come forward...

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I've been going to the WHM car meets in Katy. LOT'S of nice street rods
hang out there. The Pattison car show is this Saturday, i'll be there with
the WHM club.

I'll also be at the last Blast To The Past WHM car meet of the year. It is

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

on oct 15th i will be at the tpe bbq event.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Dang. Can't believe I missed that. I was hanging out with some cool friends though. Def. gonna try to make it to the one this sat. and maybe to the one on the 15th. There's like 50 car shows happening that day. I prob won't be there in my car though. Work slowed and I need to do some repairs first.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

school has consumed my time and funds this semester :(

the weather is great though! getting to be some better air to run at the track in :burnout:

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I am frantically working on tuning my car right now so I can get it on the road. I'm hoping that I will have her at least road worthy in the next couple weeks so I can start meeting some of you guys at these shows.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Same here dude! Pray that I score one of these jobs I applied too. If I get even the lowest paying one I'll have it road worthy by the end of the month.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I'm in for a fall meet, nice weather for my TA convertible. Also want to meet others

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I might actually be able to make it this Saturday! Miraculously, my wife hasn't said she wasn't interested, and my girls would love it! I just need to find some time to get my ride cleaned up. Hope to see you there!

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Cool. Hope to see you there.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I'm hoping to be there this Saturday. Wont see me in my car though. I might catch a ride with WhiteNinja.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I am so confused. Was there still going to be a cruise? This thread has been informative of other Houston area meets and I am always glad to hear about those. That said, please :totopic:

Somebody pick a date, and a resturant. I am all for Friday night or Saturday anytime.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

We're losing steam here. I really want to see something happen. I know that the only thing standing between me and a meet is getting my wife to agree to come along. She doesn't like riding in my car (or even driving it) because she says it rides too low. She's just not used to it. The ride height is standard and unmodified, just like everything else on it. Kind of puts a damper on things, though. Had I known she wouldn't like the ride...oh hell, I still would have bought it!!

Here's my plan. I'm going to talk her into either coming with me or giving me a night "off" to go myself. Once I get the green light, I'll take the lead on the date, time and place.

Where in Houston does everyone live? I'm in NW Houston. If those of us following this thread are scattered, I figure somewhere on Westheimer might be a nice central meeting place.

Thoughts?

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Not bad. I got my car pretty much where I want it. Just need to change out the fluids and get it all tested again.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

I'm in the West part of houston... My car is pretty much ready for something local to me...

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Agreed. And for gods sake lets not do this at a hooters. We need to do this at a burger/shake joint like proper gear heads. And NO. Whataburger doesn't count. West Houston Muscle Used to Meet at a 59 Diner over hear in Katy right off of the feeder. Stake 'n Shake has better burgers though. I'm open for any where in the West or Central area of Houston.

Re: gaugeing interest in fall meet
 

Start throwing out some resturant/location ideas guys. Then We'll focus on the date.
