View Full Version : :FEELER: Houston area Weekly Meetup
beast

I am just posting up to see if there is any group of folks that would like to get together one evening for dinner and some face time to just hang out and give us all a chance to get more acquainted. Hell what else do you have to do if your just sitting at your computer posting up in the random forums.
here is what I was thinking. I have organized many of these in the past for my subie brethren.
*pick a place that is drive friendly so that everyone feels that it is not to far or unfair that it is not being held closer to where they are.
*Must have spacious parking incase this even grows
*must have decent food and possibly drinks "I dont condone drinking and driving but we are all adults."
* A place that we can all enjoy if we have kids.
this can flux from week to week does not have to be kid friendly all the time I am just trying to cover all the bases.
Could be a nice Pub/deli one week or could be a restaurant that we could invade the back half of the parking lot.
I have done many places in the past like Double Daves, Freebirds, BJ's you get the picture.

If we can all come of with some sort of centralized location then we can make it fair for all that would like to attend.
GRRRR8
02-03-2009, 04:49 PM
Since most of you are off 45 north/south or close to it, Lets see if we can find something between Spring/Woodlands and Friendswood. Just a suggestion.
beast
02-03-2009, 04:52 PM
ok ... friendswood... if it is just going to be a adults kind of thing there is a great place called UGLY DOGS... it is a bar/food place... they have TV's, Pool tables, Darts, outside smoking.. and plenty of parking... that is my .02

It's a fairly centralized location with tons to do, and they have a huge parking lot and a big parking garage. I used to go to some meets there with a bunch of Mazda guys.

This sounds like a good place to meet new people...perhaps a little quieter than the Marque..how about 2/21 Sat night for the first meet?
Other places to consider might be fox and hound for you woodlands folks, or Frank-n-steins for the Charlie area (SW) people.

I am only 19 so I'm not sure how much of a problem it would be for me to get into some of these places. However, don't let that alter where the meet is at. There will always be more meets.
beast

we could do this anyplace. I want to try and accomidate everyone that would like to attend. Like I know around here we can go to Double Daves Pizza and they have beer.

I think we should all roll out to the kemah meet one weekend. I know its far for some of us but I think it would be fun. We could all park in the lot by Chillis. There is always room on that side.
Also, my vote goes to rotating where the meets are at to help everyone make atleast one a month.

I have never made it to a Kemah meet, but I have heard that there is always a good turn out.
I think the idea is to rotate the meets.

02-09-2009, 12:40 PM
I went through the parking lot this past saturday at the Kemah meet and as usual it was a nice turnout. there is plenty of parking anyplace around the meet if we all could get there at a specific time.

It is a ways for me, but I have been and have some friends out that way that will go also. I will be unavailable for a couple weeks as the heads and cam have been shipped, so its time to get BUSY!

I do want to do a meet at my shop also this year. At least 50 parking spots without being creative. All kinds of food places close by, or maybe do a catered type thing. Thoughts...

02-09-2009, 07:05 PM
hell if you can swing it... why not have a shop day. we had tons of these in the Subie community. They are filled with loads of fun and those that need to learn a thing or to can get there hands dirty. I am hella vote for a shop day. I will lend my knowledge and wrench tuning skills anytime. We should really set something like this up Charlie. Shop days are one hell of a way for others to come out and enjoy everyone's company. The only thing is you need to monitor what goes on..

Yeah I can probably swing it. I have to hang out with the GF though.... haha
beast
02-13-2009, 08:09 PM
mine will be there also.. my advice to you is find one that will either enjoy it with you or will tolerate it enough to come hang out.. but never find one that will start BS among others. Those are always a real crowd winner.

have yall thought about a SMR (Sunday Morning Ride). I know on superbikemoto.com does one every sunday. but its all bikes, its a great ride good roads, very good twisties, that you can haul arse around, and normaly when we get on the bikes and run the route there is always a BMW forum and a corvette forum out there and they run the same way we do. but it a great ride and good food at Orsak's. just a sugestion, there are hardly any cops there so its a good time to open up the bike or car!!! on the bike your average speed is around 120.
GRRRR8
02-14-2009, 07:33 AM
Where is this at? My car is apart so I cant participate for a few weeks, but that sounds like fun!
harveyj
02-14-2009, 07:57 AM
well we start at 290 and 1960 at the shell station as a meet spot then we head down 290 to 362 and stop there to get gas and meet other people since its a closer meet spot for others. then head down to fayetteville. and then we chose a way back home. its fun and keeps you busy from 8 till about 3 when we take our time. we start out early to stay way from the sunday morning drivers, and it keeps the traffic to a minimum and early there is usually no cops.
harveyj
02-14-2009, 07:59 AM
or since most uf everyone is on the north side we could do the forest ride and the 3090 run witch is very dangerous on a bike if you do not know the road and eat at Yankees

This is great. If we could set up a shop day/Dyno people would flock. granted it may be like some of the other instances that I have been around where u have to many people that want to dyno and you have to set aside scheduling for everyone to feel that they got there fare shake in the deal.
Roy would you be able to offer a lower rate on the Dyno if you had extra hands to help load/off load cars onto the rollers.

How many G8's are we talking about? If we have a good amount of G8's show up we can cut a better deal. When would be a good time to have this GTG?
beast
03-09-2009, 09:40 PM
generally what would be done is we would have a sign up list on here some place.. like start a new thread with all the information. You set a price for lets say 10 cars and if it exceeds that you set a price for 15 and so on and so on. Ideally getting cheaper with the more cars there are. weekends are usually good. giving good time frame so that people can prepare for the event. like say next month from now. just to get an idea. give people time to make up there mind and get there cars prepped and put together. there is more to discuss but that is kind of the just of it.

yeah. i walked him pretty much from the box all the way down the track. his best time was a 14.1 i think that night. but we ran twice and i ran 2 13.8 passes (didnt get to let my car cool off to much, just drove all the way from ottos say like 5mins) and he ran a 14.3 and a 14.7 (<manual shift). then i let my car sit like 20-30 mins and ran a 13.6 and a 13.7 next pass. it was fun. where were you? did you go to ottos?

I didnt end up going anywhere. My wife wanted me to stay home with her and watch a movie since she was going out of town today. :spank: I think I'm headed out to lonestar again on the 20th if everything goes well.

OK, back from the Power Tour! Actually got to run 7 laps around Bristol Motor Speedway, then race Thunder Mountain. Very nice. So is there a meet on the 20th?

Last time we meet up was at Otto's Restaurant in the fountains by Kirkwood and Hwy 59S next to the Lowes Theather...but that was just to check out each others cars...the only one that went to the track that day was Got'em Coach.

Who is doing your tune? I'll meet somewhere to roll to LMP. I'll probably leave early though, I want to get there right when it opens(6ish) so the car can cool down. I'm assuming you take 99 to I10 if your coming from Rosenberg?

im having icon do the tune. yeah we can meet some where. how about the parking lot by bass pro at katy mills?? i normaly take 723 to 359 to katy/flewellen rd., and pop out right at the back of the mall, thats if im going to katy. if im going to sealy, i just hop on 36 and take it back to sealy. so we can meet anywhere really either route is pretty flexible just let me know

Cool I had my car dynoed at icon they know their stuff. Their shop car puts down great power for what it has. Are they doing a tranny tune too?I'll be curious to see how much more hp your car makes with an actual dyno tune then mine with a mail order tune. Parking lot of Bass Pro would work great. I'll send you a pm closer to Sat just to make sure everythings a go.

Nice numbers... did they do the 1st one in 3rd or 4th? My car made 324rwhp in 3rd with the vms tune and vararam.
