Default Texas/Louisiana/Oklahoma/Arkansas Vs...*HDP Cruise (Houston)*

Found this in the Texas Section...this looks like it could be fun. I am thinking about making a trip to Houston for this. If you are down to Cruise, I (may) see you out there. Saturday November 13th.

Houston Performance Driving.com (HPD) will be hosting one of the largest cruises of the year. HPD invites you to join us for the South Coast Fun Run to Galveston Island. Past HPD G-Town runs have always been +150 to 300 rides. Performance domestics/imports, sport trucks, 4x4 show trucks, and power bikes. Please join HPD for one of the best cruises you'll have all year.

I. South Coast Fun Run Outline:

- There will be (2) meeting locations. (1) NORTH side meeting location and (1) South side meet location.

- North side will rally up with the South side.

- After safety/route briefing the group will move to Lake Jackson for a pit stop at Buc-ee's for a fuel/refreshment/restroom break.

- The cruises will continue on to Surfside Beach where the cruise will turn up (NORTH) the Bluewater Highway to Galveston Island.

- TOLL BRIDGE: It will be $2 to cross the toll bridge per ride. HPD has a system that will get everyone through the bridge in 15 mins. We have done this with +300 rides and it works every single time. It will be explained at the SOUTH side meet location.

- Once on Galveston Island we will stop for eats/drinks @ The Spot on The Seawall. Once on location the top section of The Spot will be RSVP'd anyone on the cruise. Full lunch menu and full bar service as well. After you eat feel free to enter any of the bars at The Spot. Take this time to meet others from the cruise and discuss the event.

- Take your time and return to Houston at your leisure. There will be no return cruise to the Houston Area. Please be safe on your return trip home.

II. South Coast Fun Run NORTH/SOUTH Meet Locations/Times:

- NORTH SIDE meet location: (Address = 23750 US 59 North Kingwood, TX 77339) The massive parking lot between Kingwood Dr. and North Park Dr. Next to Texas Road House.

If you are reported to me for being unsafe and causing danger to others. I will talk with you 1 on 1 privately. If it happens again, you will be asked to leave.

- Keep the N20 bottles closed and the boost on low.
- Use your head.

IV. Fun Run Gear:

- 2 Way Radio. (Will keep you informed on what's happening on the fun run)
- ID.
- Sunglasses.
- Vid camera or Go-Pro mounted camera.
- Comfortable driving clothing.
- Lunch $$$.
- Full tank of gas.
- Sexy copilot
- Clear inspection & registration.

haha...well with the amount of car that normally show, i think they dont anyone crashing their ****. from reading the website, they want to keep it as low key as they can. mainly to keep from drawing attention from the fuzz.

because most of the cars on the streets around h-town are sitting 500-750 on low boost/NA.

You have no idea why they call this the power city. I have always thought that if you have 500 hp your legit, and in most towns I have lived in I was typically one of the fastest cars with my stock z.

Now in Houston "Stock" or as they call it here "houston stock" is nothing. When I roll out on friday or sat it's nothing to see cars with full slicks driving around, smell alcohol (Not the drinking kind), or see turbos bigger then basketball.

HPD loves to do this cruise and they want to keep it pretty drama free.


COLE! if you come down let me know. If i'm in town that weekend I have thought about going as well.
