How many folks would attend a central meeting. Let's get a count of where everyone is from. I like the idea of Austin being central but we really need to see where people will be traveling from to be as fair as possible.

If we can get some solid commitment I will take some time to help coordinate a meeting place if we decide to chose Austin since I am near there. I would also be willing to work with another Regional Representative if we select an alternate location.

We can do a show that requires a pre-paid admission and get some trophies and awards / giveaways. If this sounds interesting then say so!

We may be able to find a spot where we can rent a track.. Just an option to throw out there. Maybe just better off with a picnic / car show style. Just need to see what the majority says.

So lets hear your opinion

I am also going to throw some timeframes out there.
I am thinking when the weather gets a little cooler. Early November?

 

I love the idea of a central car show.

When do the tracks close? perhaps one more show b4 that so we can run the cars again before the next summer gathering?

 

I just emailed the owner of Temple Acadamy Dragway in Temple, TX. Bout 45 mins north of Austin. We will see what he says. If the track is open year round I would love to take advantage of some nice cool fall weather!

 

Oh Hell YEAH I'd be interested!! I guess it shows something since the only 3 people who replied live from Central texas, lol.
Scott, man, I'd help plan everything. I've thought about the Texas-Wide Thirdgen gathering some.

Scott and Steven (the Austin guys) could meet up with the DFW people cruisin' down 35.

The SA guys could cruise up 10 and hit 304 and cruise right into Bastrop and meet up with me.

Then the Austin/DFW peps can cruise down 290 to Giddings and meet the SA/Bastrop guys (me, lol) at the Wal-mart in Giddings. Then we could all cruise to Lake Somerville ( I know a great curvy road to get us to Lake Somerville!), and meet the H-Town gang there and have a huge bar-b-que.

Or we could all meet and go to a track

But I'll go along with anything ya'll want. I just wanna go to the track when I'm done!

 

Yes, lets all drive all over Tx with 2.00/gallon gas prices!!!


lol, just kidding, I would still do it

One thing though matt.........SHRINK YOUR SIGNATURE, jeez, some people

 

Are you thinking third gen only? I am up for the racing, for sure. I just don't have a third gen anymore.

 

well, this is thirdgen.org

but just cause you don't have a thirdgen doesn't mean you can't hang with us.....just means your not one of us, hehehe :lala:

whatcha got? fourth gen?

 

I'm in. Coming from Dallas.

Fall and cooler weather would be awesome. Just leave me enough time to drive to Houston when we are done, I will stay with a girl that I know.

 

sounds good to me, time is coming for a mini roadtrip anyway!

 

Actually, I have a Mach 1. I sold my 87 IROC 'vert over memorial day weekend.

 

Yeah, I still don't know why you did that.

 

Jon is welcome

 

I'm in the Dallas area, and this sounds like a good deal to me - especially if it includes some track time on a strip! September to October would be best for me (just not the last half of November, won't be around).

Have a Great Day!!!


- Vern

 

Sounds like fun!
I'm for a Temple dragstrip gathering!

 

profit of over $4000. Easy decision for me.

 

'69 Mach 1 or newer style? I WANT MY CAR RUNNING!!! We really need to plan this somebody!! I'm really likin' it! Scott, if ya need any help plannin' it, lemme know. I'm workin' now, but I'm also back at home!

 

it's an '03. I bought it for my wife as a Christmas present. It puts her in a new car, and I get it on the weekends!:rockon:

 

Ah, good deal. Anyone post on NTTGA.org? I used to, but I just can't seemed to get it into my routine. The more the merrier!
So are we actually gonna do this guys? There doesn't seem to be much interest fom the H-Town guys
We made it to their gatherings, y can't they make it to ours!?

 

i took care of nttga already

 

Eggselent!

 

Maybe the name of this thread isn't what people are looking for. I think most people wont check out car shows, but gatherings would probably be viewed more.

Also, does Austin and Houston have any clubs that we need to go to there forums and invite them?

 

Well, as for an Austin thirdgen club.....well...It's pretty much Zimmy, Steven, and me, lol. I've got a friend at work who has a '92 Camaro, and he may come.
Kitt WILL be done by the Winter H-Town gathering Fo' Sho'! Depending on when we have have this little Shin Dig, Kitt should be runnin' by then!

 

So we need to get all of the NTTGA and the Houston clubs together.

 

Hey Guys. I have not been on here in awhile but I would be interested in attending a gathering/car show somewhere in the Central Texas area. I am also looking to meet up with more 3rd Gen guys in the Austin area. Hey Scott, long time no see. Where do you go to check out cars now these days? I have been going up to RPM Racing on I-35 in RR and the turn out was pretty good tonight. About 25+ cars.

 

You will be pleased to know there is a nice gathering getting together at the Whataburger off 1431 and Parmer Lane.

About 30 some odd cars out there this evening. Get the guys on out there next weekend!

 

I might be going to the Oak Hill meet next Saturday, anyone wanna go with me?

 

Oak Hill...

Go to Heat Wave in Austin! lol

 

Heat Wave is?

 

July 23-25 at Travis County Expo Center.

Custom Car Show. Very cool.

www.texasheatwaveshow.com

We can meet up if you like. BIG JON from DFW is planning on coming down for the festivities!

 

The heat wave is supposed to be huge. Looking forward to seeing some cool cars and trucks, and getting away for a weekend!

 

Yeah, out of the last 4 years I can remember I only got to go to one of them. It is huge!:rockon:

I want to head out there this weekend and check it out.

 

wanna do it saturday in the early afternoon or sunday?

 

Hey Zimmerman, you got an address for the place that you want to do this at?

Also, did you get a hold of the track?

 

No word from the track yet. I have sent only 1 email.

http://www.templeacademy.com

 

Who? Do what?

 

F-Body Meet at Heat Wave, then cruise to a car show after that, followed by some hooters or something.

Any takers?

 

Sounds a little too organized for me..

I was planning to head out there with two friends sometime in the morning.

From there I was thinking baking in the sun for a few hours and then heading back to the house to relax.

Maybe hit the car gathering up North here afterwards if we have the energy.

 

Don't worry about it, im gonna meet up with the AFB group and cruise with them to the oak hill meet

 

Ok thats cool

 

Yeah, if you get to heat wave about 10am you'll be finished walking the whole thing at about 4pm. That's how big it is...

 

ttt

Ok guys, let's start getting some votes for who is going.

1) Maroon-IROC-Z
2) zimmstoy
3) StevenK
4) tamatt27
5) Big Jon
6) Ragtop89
7)
8)
9)
10)

 

That's for the cruise and car show right? I won't be making it to Heatwave....

 

Umm, what am I signed up for?

I will be going to the Oak hill meet, and I will most likely meet up with the Austin F-Body guys at 290/brodie before that.......so....yeah. Whats that list for?

 

well the oak hill thing kinda sucked, only me a vette and a couple birds showed up, and we were surrounded by the austin area stang group.....needs more f-body represntation for sure

 

Once I get Kitt up and running, I'll be up for just about anything, car show wise!! I can see the end in sight!

 

Maroon's list is for the central car show, not the heat wave. I need to see the date to see if I am going.

 

That is correct.


There has got to be more than just 6 people going? Their needs to be a lot more if people are going to be driving 130mi!! People talk to your groups.

 

Hey My Group....aka matt.

I'm supposed to talk to you about something.....so yea

I talked to my people

 

Cool, glad that we got that taken care of.

How about the Houston people, anyone let them know about this yet? I know some of them have trouble reading the South Central Region board.

 

or reading in general, ohhh diss
