Welcome to thirdgen.org
If you aren't doing anything Sat afternoon/evening U could come out to HMP and spank a few butts then! Find the HMP Jan 22nd thread and cruise on even if U don't want to make any runs tomorrow night, come on out and meet a few of the motley crew!

It's all thirdgen love guys :P (and gals). The Houston area thirdgenners are by far the most wholesome group I've associated with, nobody is ever rude or anything
. We're gonna have a LOT of fun this year, and we'll all get to meet some new people and do some racing
Everybody knows who I am, so when you get to the meet, always say hi.

I just might have to make this trip and snag a few trophies from some unsuspecting LT1 guys. Also, I dont think I will win any exterior awards, I'm more for function over form.
I'm glad I stumbled in here, I'll seriously be thinking about making the trip, but that sure is a long haul being 15 miles away from Sucklahoma.

Also, what is everyone running in the 1/8 mile? I need to know if I need to do some more work before I make the trip.
The only time I ran this thing I got a 8.6 @ 83.5, that was before the stall and tuning. It was bone stock with the 2.73's, well no cats, 3in. single outlet Flowblocker and some BFG DR's.
Anyone?

We still need a few more small donations to cover the cost of the awards.
Come on people don't make me beg! This is what U guys wanted, so let's step up to the plate. Even with the genorisity of Kevin89formula we still are short.

The way things always seem to go--if we don't have a "rain date"--we will need one. If we DO have a "rain date" we will not need it. So.....
RAIN DATE FOR THE SPRING FLING THING IS SATURDAY--APRIL 2, 2005!
RAIN DATE FOR THE SPRING FLING THING IS SATURDAY--APRIL 2, 2005!








no harm, no foul! anyway, so we gotta place, and a time, and a plan. damn, this must be some sorta record!
