Default Panhandle & Amarillo??

I have to go up to the panhandle / amarillo area this weekend for a few things. Lived there for 2 months a while back. Just wanted to see how many members live there and where the car meets are at. Last time i was there i ran across a cruise on polk street , dont know if that is still happening.

Good luck Joe...the polk street cruise is a once a year deal...they have a small car show the first weekend of the month at the hooters in amarillo...I don't know of very much that goes on up there anymore...the street scene seemed like it dried up a few years back compared to what it used to be

Street scene is near dead....if you're here on Saturday you could go to the track for a bit. Mostly people convene @ Sonic on 45th but not too many.

There are quite a few bad *** cars here! I work at boost performance. We have several 1000+rwhp cars. If your in town swing by the shop on a Saturday. Typically we dyno a couple of cars then. The guys that hang out at sonic on 45th are mostly teenagers with cars they think are fast. Send me a pm if you want any info on the get togethers and stuff!
