I've seen the building, but never been there. Might lose people, if we try to move it the 10 miles up the road to Georgetown....

iTrader: (3)

well I would hope not...

I've gone through the directory for round rock so many times... where would you suggest?

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Not my side of town, so I dunno what would be in the I35 corridor for easy access for DFW/Houston people.

That Duke's does have a decent parking lot, then there is an empty Albertson's building practically next door, making for an empty parking lot to gather. I think too far to park & walk, but I can look again. No idea how good the food is, but it's been there for a few years at least, so it can't be all that bad, huh?

58mark

iTrader: (3)

the reviews on google are veryu good, if that means anything

58mark

iTrader: (3)

ok, that place sounds really good

The manager says they have a parking lot down a hill that nobody ever parks in, and we would be welcome to take it over

they also have a party room that will hold 40 people that we can reserve

if we have more than 40, they have a large patio he can set us up in

how does that sound?

jkjk lol. place look nice.

iTrader: (6)

Yep, Shady Springs is the place I remember.

I'll look in to McKinney Falls...

iTrader: (3)

Unless anybody has any strong objections, let's make Duke's the place. It's right next to San Gabriel Park, so if the parking lot isn't good for some pics, we can go over to the park for group shots and hang some more

I'm going to leave it to the ATGO guys to plan more activities for before and after, so ya'll discuss amongst yourselfes and get back to us

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

OK.....There is a thread about this on both the Austin Third Gen.org site & the San Antonio.org site......Any other cities have their own sites? Like a DFWthirdgen.org or Houstonthirdgen.org?

If San Gabriel Park has a volleyball pit, we could have a regional type tourney. I also have washers for a small washer tourney. I know this idea will get thrown out quick but if Gearheads of Buda still hosts their gathering at Cabela's, we could have a mass Thirgen convoy south on the IH35 corridor and invade the gathering. We got a real cool reaction the last time we met there.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Cabela's would be a long trip for the DFW guys, in the wrong direction. Do they still meet at the Round Rock parking lot & 620/I35? I haven't been there in a LONG time.

looks like houston has an f-body club, but not a 3rd gen club that I can find. The f-body group is'nt even a forum, it's a email mailing...

I'll bump a post here on TGO to flag some inactive houston guys about the gathering

If anybody here is a member of the houston f-body group, let them know about this meeting

Albani

iTrader: (2)

Nope...they closed that one down about a year ago because the ricers were getting crazy.

Q's 91z28

I'll start a thread on southtexasfbodies.com. I doubt to many guys will head out there since it is quite a drive, but its worth a shot. Anyone know if Laredo has a good amount of third gens?

flu_by_u

Right before the season ended last year, there was a gathering getting started at the Tinseltown Pville. In late spring we can update this thread with the findings of the Pville gathering. Also, if there are ppl planning on staying overnight, that could make for a good breakfast meet June 20th. Just an idea. I know one guy mentioned that it wasn't worth the drive if it was only lunch.

iTrader: (6)

I host that list.

I'll let everyone know.

iTrader: (3)

I think it would be pretty cool to have 40 3rd gens convoy up to little river to the track there. Anybody ever done that before? WhaT does it cost?

slayer_taunu

sounds like a cool idea. i'd be game to go, but i dont think i'd want to drive my 3rd gen 3hrs in june without A/C. i'd have to take my 4th gen.

i've never been to Duke's but it looks good. I have been to the Salt Lick in SW Austin, and it was amazing. looks like they also have a 2nd location in Round Rock. whatever the final decision is, i just vote for it to be a mom/pop shop like these and not a chain.

58mark

iTrader: (3)

ah come on, I'm going to be taking mine, and I doubt if I'll have AC either...

if you leave early enough and come back late enough, it won't be too bad

I thought about the salt lick in round rock, but the place looked a little too high end. They do a lot of wedding receptions, so a saturday in june wouldn't be a good idea

slayer_taunu

high end?!?!?!

i dunno about the round rock location, but the Driftwood location was wood picnic benches and family oriented. BYOB too. it was featured on Food Channel's "Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives". far from fancy schmancy.

i thought i might never get to go to that place again, so i bought a bottle of their BBQ sauce... only to find out that they sell it at Tom Thumb in dallas, lol

Well, as much as I hate to say this, take me off the list. I live in Pflugerville and would only have to drive 10 miles, but the annual Laporte family camp out cannot be moved to another date. Sorry, but my Formula will still try to make it (with a different driver).

slayer_taunu

naw, thats not representative of the main facility. thats gotta be offsite somewhere. maybe someone from austin thats been to the round rock location can chime in

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Nope....No can do. Your already on "the list".

You've already committed to this, just tell your family that you are sorry & you won't be able to attend their function!

hey everyone, late entry but i will be there i will let everyone here in sa know about it. dont know if they will drive but count me and my 92 formula and 88 camaro in.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

The SA guys have come up to Austin a couple of time for just b'fast & to hang a bit, so I'm sure they come,

That & I checked on the SA3GO site & there was already a thread about it. I was gonna post up about it, but somebody beat me to it!

We just had the north Texas gathering, and people seem excited about the state event. I've asked everybody to help think of things outside the box to add to the day's events

we had 15 cars at the DFW event, and we would love to see 50 in Georgetown

58mark

iTrader: (3)

you going to post those on the north texas thread as well?

I wonder if it's even worth posting on the el paso board? they are so far away, I doubt any of them would come

It was just brough to my attention that June 19th is NTTGA's Annual club cookout, This date has been set for a while, Unless the state gathering date changes im pretty sure most of NTTGA will be going to our annual cookout. Might want to see about setting this to an earlier or later date.

nathanec

I'll try to be there the plan is to be visiting family in austin around that time and I'll post the link to this onto the FBEP forums get the word out over here in El Paso

58mark

iTrader: (3)

OK, the NTTGA cookout is set in stone, and that's a MAJOR conflict.

anybody have an issue with pushing it back to the 26th? we could move it up to the 12th, but that's the same day as the NTTGA's regular monthly meeting (i'm assuming they are still having one that month)

I'll ask them

Albani

iTrader: (2)

Please, please, please, make it the 26th of June and I can make it.

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

Well, if NTTGA is going to attend the date should be moved, if they aren't going to be up for a meet 1 weeks after their cookout then it could stay the same. But might as well move it and at least give them the chance to come...

esc

iTrader: (6)

Sounds reasonable to me. Someone should ask NTTGA (I know we have some members here) how many are interested in going.

58mark

iTrader: (3)

I posted this on the NTTGA board, and I'll post it here too

slayer_taunu

i can't speak for everyone else, but i look for an excuse to drive the car every weekend, ... i'm game for back to back meets, especially if its at a badass bbq joint.

and as far as the nttga monthly meet being the week before their bbq, there is a good chance (but not guaranteed) they will move the monthly meet to the BBQ... but i'm not involved in the politics over there anymore. i just show up to stuff.

58mark

iTrader: (3)

i'll find out. i'd rather have it on the 12th

eagle_eyes

iTrader: (3)

i sure hope i can make it, but i never know with my crazy work schedule. i'm kinda lonely out here... the only other third gens in this town are either beaters that aren't going to get fixed or drag cars that can't travel. i'll admit, my car is not pretty right now, but it runs good.

p.s. how are things in Austin? haven't been on that board in some time...

58mark

iTrader: (3)

ok, the NTTGA is going to have their regular meeting on the 12th, and a cookout on the 19th. I guess that only leaves the 26th available for the gathering... if anybody has any objections.. speak now or forever.. well you know the rest

ellocojorge

iTrader: (1)

im game.

Albani

iTrader: (2)

That's the spirit. Join in everyone. The 26th is a great date.

58mark

iTrader: (3)

looks like that's the best date. I wish it was a little earlier, but I didn't want to go with a week the another group had an event going on.

Hopefully the houston group is ok with this. They don't have a message board, so it's hard to double check things with them

Black Betty will be there! I can't wait, this sounds AWESOME!

Hello,
I can't wait to go, i actually drove to the the Atalanta, GA meet a few years back. It was alot of fun, long drive though. BUT I didn't drive my car, which sucked.....

I had a idea, Is anyone selling any parts from the area where the meet is going to be? Or might need some parts from the different groups/peeple that are involved? Possible Swap Meet??????? I am always looking for something.....
