After recently getting a subscription , and trading a few e-mails to the editor, telling him about the Houston Area Thirdgen.org, the web site, activities in general:

THEY WANT TO DO A FEATURE STORY (POSSIBLY A COVER SHOT) ABOUT US!!!

I have informed them about our monthlys as well as our Annual BIG Meets. In another e-mail we had agreeded that the best time for them to do it, would be at one of the big meets, because of a larger expected turnout.

Now all we gotta do is get our act together! WE need to nail down a date for the BIG meet we have been discussing, as well as all the plans that go along with it.

And we need a big turnout! The biggest we have ever had!

Below is a copy of a recent e-mail from them. The Karen Peach that is referred to is the person that actually goes out and does all the pics and interviews.

John,
We are in the planning stages of our BIG annual Fall/Winter meet. AS soon as we get some times dates nailed down we will definately let U know way ahead of time so U can plan accordingly.

Thanks for the interest!

oustanding

 

Cool. Nail down the date, post it up, and I'll make sure it is an official ATGO meet as well, hopefully we can bring about 8 cars.

 

thats all fine and good except, as the title says, its "Houston" Area thirdgen....

 

Ok, if you only want Houston people we will stay at home.

Not like there is such thing as a Houston Area Thirdgen anyways, just a Thirdgen.org regional group which includes all of the South central US, unless I'm missing the Houston Area Thirdgen's website....

 

U know good and well U guys are always welcome to anything going on in Hou.--monthly meet--Annual Big meet--whatever!

 

Well, in this case, I might think about keeping the contempo and getting it ready before this.

 

thats great! all im hoping for is to get down there for the next big meet. hopefully by then i will have my motor and trans swap.

 

slow down there turbo. it was just a joke.

 

I'm going to try and make it too How's that for non-Houston thirdgen? lol

 

Can't slow down, forgot to install the turbo blow off valve

I know your joking mang, and hopefully we can show up in force. So sticky the time and place and I'll do the same on our site.

 

Until Hurricane Rita is behind us, all this goes on hold!

 

OK, Rita came and went! You still in touch with these guys Zap?

 

SLP, Did you keep the car or sell it?

 

Yeah, it's still on. I talked to Karen Peach--the lady who actually writes the articles. In fact, I meet her at the car show at 2094 + 146. She had an El Camino that was really nice!

Not sure she will actually make the Fall Brawl--wants us to take a few pics-- as well as, put together a little history of Thirdgen.org, and about the local activities like the monthlys, the annual meets--complete report form the drag strip Fri night Houston's Fastest Thirdgenner, etc. She said she looks in on the board every now and then, just to get the general feel of what's going on, and will write the feature from all that--still a possibility she may make the meet--said she would let me know as times gets closer.

 

Just out of curiosity what ever happened with this?

 

Since she did not make it to the meet, it is on my shoulders to basically write (or at least supply all the info and pics) to her and she will submit it to the mag. When i get some time after the holidays I will try to get his done.

 

wow zap , if you need any help let me know. Im more then willing to lend a hand. maybe go around and take some pics
