Weather permitting - Houston Muscle Car Cruise IV - Need votes on dates... Decision Made....this will occur weather permitting on Saturday, January 10th...I will work up details...need the north guys to help me with a road course..
Thinking of starting this one up north around Beltway 8 and 45N.
Idea is to have one each time starting from a different area to allow everyone a close meeting spot periodically. Started one in the south, then the last one went east, and will start the next one to the west.
Hopefully some of the north guys like Take 2, or BadZ will post up with cruise options as I am not familiar with those roads.
Like to have the one in the west (probably early/mid March) start in Katy and potentially make a run to the hill country (Austin) and perhaps over to Marble Falls. I moved from there recently and know some killer roads to cruise upon.
I also have been considering starting each of the cruises with a car show with a small entry to benefit a local charity. From there we can make our run creating a show/rod run. I like the Texas Childrens Hospital, and The Crippled Childrens Foundation/Ronald McDonald house as i have personal experiences with these wonderful folks. Also working on a t-shirt that will be branded with a diamond design on the front representing Dodge, Ford, Chevy, and Pontiac with our logo. I have a gal that will do the design for me and shirts in a variety of colors for about $20 each. $5 from each shirt will go to the charity as well.
Forgot to mention...send me some jpg images or bring your car to the cruise as I will be gathering pics of cars for the t-shirt front.
Anyway, please post thoughts....

Good Idea from Rooster.....
here's a northside route i can suggest. if we head up 59 to Cleveland, we can get over to 1725 and take it up to New Waverly and then come back down 45. 1725 is VERY curvy. it's somewhat scenic, just driving through the woods you know, i just wouldn't say it would take your breath away or anything, lol. it would definitely be a fun drive and we could end up eating somewhere in Conroe, maybe at that place on the lake that everyone likes. just my .02
just FYI, you can't tell how curvy it is on the map, but it is, trust me
