I was reading about this predator ***. And i have an Idea.
I say, sometime soon (or in the summer), we get a huge caravan to roll down to TX, take over a street. and just have a ****-ton of fun.
who's in. I'm willing to drive down from KS to hang out with some cool f-bod owners

Well, I'm going to buy a cam sometime soon. We need to put together an entire weekend. Racing, dyno. the whole shabang. I am so about that ****. I thought about comming down to texas on spring break. (or around there. getting that week off might be rough.)
I'll let you know

Haha that sounds like a blast. If you guys did it during the summer, and I could manage to take a week off (i just started my own business about 6 months ago, so it may be tough, but probably possible) ... I would love to get the car trailered down to TX and fly down there to meet up with all you guys. A nice week of racing, dyno day, and maybe a big party of some sort would be hot, and I'd definately be game. You'd just have to let me know a week, and I'll have to see if I could get the time.

I think when this thread gets more attention. and more people vote to show up for the Shootout. We get together to book a hotel. Set a date(s) at the local dyno.
And possibly the local strip (i dont have any slips yet=(). make an entire weekend out of it (friday-sunday possibly. mabey more if people wanna stay).
I have seen some videos to come outta Galveston, huston, and dallas. You boys in texas know how to drive.
Lot more racing than where i'm from (TN =)). I can't wait

Is it on the outskirts of houston cause that would be awsome, the farther away from downtown i can stay the better.

yep, if you guys go in the texas section, you will see what i am talking about. and we have some heavy hitters in there...


but yes, i do live somewhat near SAM. I am maybe 15 minutes away. it is on the way to downtown, but you can live in the suburbs and commute there. really the school is in the ghetto, but it is being remodeled so it is going to be VERY nice when it is done soon. let me know when you guys come down to take a look.
