Default Any Orange/Port Arthur/Beaumont area people?

Looking to get back into the swing of things and would like to know where to meet in my area without having to go all the way to Houston. I live in Orange. Thanks!

Having lived there for 2 years recently, the car scene is pretty grim. There are the occasional "car shows" on a saturday, but most of the time its just the same group of old guys with their garage queens.

I believe the 1st saturday of every month there is a corvette club that meets at Gander Mtn.

Never ran across a group of late model driving guys that like to BS and cruise.

Well that's a little disappointing. I moved here from Mobile a few years back and there was a huge car scene there. I just don't want to drive all the way to Houston. I don't think I'd mind once a month or so, but we will have to see.

Thanks for the response!

I'm originally from the area, and The car scene itself has declined over the years, I still keep in contact with most of the guys down there as I am visiting occasionally since my mom still lives down there.. Khols is the usual meet up spot on Friday and Saturday nights. There are still some guys that are out and about though.

Have a friend from work from around there and from talking to him you guys have a pretty good scene? He said u guys have a top 10 list with him and a guy with a nitrous 427 ls1 running for the top spot soon. He has a 12 5.0. He was running high 9s on the stock motor with a roots blower, now built and with a turbo setup.

I'd love to be able to meet up with some of the guys. Mobile had and still has a pretty enthusiastic car scene. I'm still in touch with everyone back there, but it does me no good when I can't be there every weekend. My car is far from ready to do anything, though. She's pretty and loud, but all bark and very little bite IMO. Looks like Kohls will be where I need to go one night.

Vidor here, but don't do any racing. I saw a pretty nice F-body Camaro get smashed in Beamont off college street a couple weeks ago. I was wondering if it was anyone on here.....

yeah your talking about rob... That list thing was a joke lol. That was some stuff these fools around here tried to do. Guess they where watching to much street outlaws lol. The list thing lasted about 2 monthes lol.

I dont know anybody that was on the list that has a nitrous 427 though around here. Robs car with the new setup should roll out for sure.
