The Houston TGO Summer "Meet, Eat, and Compete" Event

Cool name for the summer meet!


"I look forward to seeing everyone for a little fun in the sun and friendly competition at the track."
Are u kidding--friendly competition at the track?--I don't think so!--I got some serious butt kicking to take care of!

TexasLT1

I'm not too worried, it'll all be friendly for me

Zap Racing

I wish my car was fast enough that U were on my list, but I do not think I can come anywhere close to U! Not right now anyway!

Barry85Iroc

You must be....................SKIRRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zap Racing

TexasLT1......yes

U...............

Barry85Iroc

I guess I'm the only one who ISN'T SKIRRED to race someone that's faster.........for now. You know the more sh*t you talk now is going to be quadrupled when I start drumming YOU. And that could happen as soon as the Summer Gathering! Although no timeframe has been established yet. But all sales are a go! This is starting to take on the Zap-Mikey feud, and you know what happened to him! He who talks the most sh*t..............ask Mikey.

Barry85Iroc

Looks like this thing is a done deal. COOL. Looking forward to it.

k's89rs

OH hell yeah! Its going to be on a saturday! I was looking at those other posts about the summer meet and someone was saying do it on a friday. i wouldnt have been able to come. well ill be down there. are we doing the awards this time?
later
kent

TexasLT1

Yup, sorry, that was me.



As far as awards, I dont know. Personally I don't see the point since we just gave awards at the last one. I guess we could give some different ones or something, but I think that should be kept more as a once-a-year thing.

Zap Racing

I agree--at least no more than every 6 months

Zap Racing

While having a discussion with a very good friend of mine (non-thirdgenner) about the Summer Meet, he asked if we were going to haaave a crawfish boil, and I thought hmmm........

In keeping with the theme/atmosphere of The Houston TGO Summer "Meet, Eat, and Compete" Event, what do ya'll think about having a crawfish boil. Should we, or should we not?

Does anybody have one of those portable propane powered crawfish boiling rigs?

Does anybody have experiance in actually doing it? How long does it take from start to finish before they are ready to eat?

COMMENTS?

TexasLT1

well gosh darned if you aren't in luck

we've got one of the propane boilers as well as a 5 gal. pot, which should be good for about 6-8 lbs. my brother said it takes about 20 minutes to boil them, so we should be fine if yall want to do that. my parents will be coming in our truck so we can bring any other big stuff too.



*talked to my dad, takes about 5 minutes

Barry85Iroc

Sounds like a good idea for the next one! or this one..........

Zap Racing

I know some people are allergic to shell fish, and some probably don't like to eat crawfish (why i don't know!), but I sure would like to hear from a few people before we make this a part of The "Houston TGO Summer "Meet, Eat, and Compete" Event.

WHAT ABOUT IT PEOPLE--DO WE WANNA INCLUDE A CRAWFISH BOIL IN THE SUMMER MEET?

We can still bring the hibachi and do some hot doggies for those who are not into mudbugs!

k's89rs

ill eat them. im not a big fan, nor are the girls im going to bring again. hot dogs are fine with me. dont change plans though if im the only one.

Barry85Iroc

Dude, get a life........

What started out to be just a bunch of hot-rodders talking some friendly crap always ends up with terds like you talking about physical violence.

Again, get a life......

TexasLT1

Anyway, everyone who's planning on coming, use this Headcount thread.

calereeves

edit since I'm not a total *******....

calereeves

And apparently your high school english teachers failed you.

You don't have to remember, ...There is a video

Barry85Iroc

Thanks, Stephan.

Barry85Iroc

Not anymore you can't. Ask Craig. He knows. Or show up at the summer gathering and prove it.
The "I bet" part is very intruiging......................

Oh yea? "Blown big block with wheelie bars", huh?

LOL, let the sh*t start flying I guess!

I'm just gearing up for when I finish with the clutch, which will be soon.


And to Christopherreeves - what are you even doing on these boards, you dont even own a thirdgen?

calereeves

Whew...not only does he have the writing skills of a pre-high schooler, he's also got the maturity of one. Wow...christopherreeves... good one.

You said yourself its all about just a bunch of hot rodders talking...and I happen to own a little stock in an 88...thanks, try again.

calereeves

And, just for the record, if you're familiar with the NASCAR greats, I was named after Cale Yarborough.

k's89rs

off subject everyone sorry.....any way i dont know if you guys remember this guy that came down from austin for SFT, he drove the purple camaro......anyway he picked up a 78 trans am with a 455. this car ran 12.5's consistent. im going to try to get him to come down to show everyone

Zap Racing

I remember the car but not his name.

TexasLT1

badass. too bad my brother (he's also got a '78 T/A ) just sold his engine

k's89rs

his name is neil. the trans am was my managers at work. he picked it up for 3500 bucks with a trailer. helluva deal if you ask me

TexasLT1

think he'll make it to the track with us? I'd definitely love to give it a run

Barry85Iroc

I'll put the old motor back in, take off the wheelie bars and STILL beat ya like a rented mule. (that IS a picture of my car)

calereeves

Yup, I just sold the motor and trans out of the car. I finally got the cash from the guy today, and I'm moving on to bigger, better things (like a 12 pt cage and a 4-link back half )

Cale - Dude I'm just busting your *****......... no need to start a pissing match....... Anyways, what's all done to the '88? Is it yours or are you getting an 88?


Barry - I'd have to see it to believe thats your car. Keep the new motor in and wheelie bars on, you'll need it!

TexasLT1

the 88 is mine, but it came from a friend of his, so its part his too. At the moment, its a body and nothing else. Front suspension is gone, interior is there but trashed, paint is trashed but the body is straight. Hoping to turn it into a shop car over the next couple of years.

1bad91Z

iTrader: (1)

I have a CRAP load of parts that I'll most likely throw in for free with the 89 IROC.

Interior pieces etc...

Cheap......

calereeves

I heard something about a blown bb and wheelie bars....who wants to race?

TexasLT1

hmm....well I'll definitely have to come take a look at it then, if not just for the extra parts. Don't know that my dad will be too happy about having another car at the shop but oh well. Just a matter of if I get everything done to my car that I need to.

TexasLT1

with what, hopes and dreams?

calereeves

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! With this :

Barry85Iroc

I've seen your car run..........

1bad91Z

iTrader: (1)

And I've seen your car.

Barry85Iroc

The way a car looks ABSOLUTELY determines it's time in the quarter mile..........


Nice paint job is good for 2 tenths.

1bad91Z

iTrader: (1)

Dude, I wasn't talking about the paint....... You need some tuning and wiring clean up work.

I won't poke at ya no more.

I'm not here to make fun of or be-little someone else's hot-rod. So I apologize if I ruffled your feathers. Was just talking smack to everyone while I'm gearing up for the new clutch install.

Because, when it's in, I'll be posting my 1/4 mile timeslip for everyone to see (fast / slow / or indifferent).
