Default Houston Performance Driving cruise to Galveston - Feb 25 (Sunday)

S! LS1tech.

Houston Performance Driving (HPD) will be gearing up for another S.C.C. to Galveston on Sunday, February 25th, 2007. Please come join us for a good time with good friends. There will be cars/trucks of all makes and models. Some of the most powerful cars in Houston are HPD Members. If you love the auto world please come cruise with us and join our forum. (Please use xtc4us as a referral if you register).

I. Cruise Outline:

- There will be (2) locations for the HPD SCC.

A) Northsiders: will meet at Greenspoint Mall in the Bel Furniture parking lot. There is a Whataburger for food, and Chevron for gas right next to it. Meet time is 11AM with roll out at 11:45AM.

B) Southsiders: will meet at 288 N. and 518 W. at the Super Target parking lot. Meet time is 12 Noon with roll out at 12:45 PM.

C) Don't be late or you will have to find us on the cruise!

- Once both groups have united we will cruise down 288 S. to Lake Jackson. Once 288 S. ends we will turn north up the coast onto the Bluewater Highway. Galveston will be our next stop with a late lunch at Salsa's Mexican Restaurant.

- After lunch (2 hours) the group will regroup at Cherry Hill (East Beach) for pics along the slopped wall. There will be a zero tolerance on any street racing. Galveston PD has told me it is* OK to park at Cherry Hill just has long as there is NO STREET RACING!

- Once pics are complete HPD and friends will continue on home up I-45 N. to Houston (or your destination) and break off has your exit comes up.

II. Gear:

- Full tank of gas.
- 2 Way walkie/radio. (this is a must!)
- Radar Detector.
- Sunglasses.
- Lunch $$$.
- Video/Digital Camera.
- Positive attitude.
- Respect for Imports and Domestics.
- ***$2 for toll bridge***.

*I will have the printed directions and schedule for the cruise at both meet locations.*

III. Rules and Safety:

IMPORTANT!!! WARNING!!! DANGER!!! This will be a 110% safe cruise. There will be zero tolerance policy on racing of any kind. We have all spent countless $$$ and wrench time getting our cars/truck/bikes to where they are. Please respect the rules and I promise you will have a blast! IMPORTANT!!! WARNING!!! DANAGER!!!

- Please use signals.
- Wear your seat belts.
- Keep an eye on your speed*
- Easy enough yes?!
- Thank you!

This has always been such a great cruise in the past. Normally we have +65 cars/trucks/bikes......I think on the last SCC we had +75. Rides such as WRXs, STis, G35s, 350Zs, Supras, Porches, BMWs, Mercedes, Minis, C5s, C6s, C5 Z06s, C6 Z06s, Vipers, SSs, T/As, Lightnings, Cobras, GTs, EVOs, SRTs, RX7s, RX-8s and much more! Please come out and join HPD for a fun event! Let us show why we are the POWER CITY! Bikes are welcome!!!*

Please check out Houston Performance Driving www.houstonperformancedriving.com and check it out. There is always something going on.

If anyone has any questions about the event. Please PM and I'll get back ASAP!

Thank you very much everyone and I'm looking forward to the 25th.

GO ***** DEEP!

Troy.

I'd avoid Greenspoint Mall like the plague. I work in that area and one Sunday 8 cars were stolen in about a 4 hour span. There are also numerous robberies and carjackings. 3 of my employees have had their cars stolen since Christmas. I'd hate to hear about another carjacking on this board.

We are doing this in the day time on Sunday. We have also used this location many times and have not had 1 problem. That location is also sitting next to a Houston Police Dept substation......I think we'll be just fine.

If you have a weather program that tells you whats going down 3 weeks a head of time, please let me know. It seems only you and God have that program.

It did not rain on the last cruise so I'm not feeling where you are coming from. x 2.

Hope to see some LS1tech folks out there.

I have not had my car registered or drivin it in almost a year. I am going tomorrow to register her and then will break her in with a few drives to work and we will be waiting at 518 and 288!

What a great thing to get to do after a year of not getting to drive.

Thanks!
Gregg

Sorry man, I was just trying to look out. When one of my employees cars were stolen, it took the police 45 minutes to come over from that substation and our building is attached to the mall. On December 23rd a guy was put in the hospital by 5 guys just for his wallet too. I was just trying to give you guys a heads up since I work in the area and every day is a pain in the ***.

I would be willing to meet up for lunch, but 288/518 is a pain in the ***, and no easy way to get there. The funny part is I live off of 518 in Friendswood. So post up where ya'll will be getting lunch (directions) and I'll see you there.
