looking forward to meeting some of you. I'm trying to get my neighbor with a new C6Z to come out. He said he will try. Drives a charcoal gray Z.

I'll also have my pregnant wife riding passenger...
I'm going to chime in here on the pregnant wife/passenger part.....

- When I hosted the North Side Fun Run, I had a red Cobra with a couple, 7 year old, and the wife was pregnant. While on the back roads we were pushing it. There are a lot of bikes, choppers/sport bikes that come the opposite direction. In a sharp turn one of the bikes coming took up the entire center lane and cut into the red Cobra's lane. To make a long story short the Cobra entered the ditch. When up and over the embankment.......

I would seriously think twice and maybe thirds before you take a pregnant woman on the North Side "Fun Run". When I hosted them, I would not allow pregnant women or children. Not event anyone under 18.

I don't want it coming back on Houston Performance Driving that a pregnant woman was injured on fun run.....under a HPD coordinated event.

Be safe out there.

Thanks for the info and the heads up! I was just telling tikiman that I know how bikes can be in the twists and turns as I'm just recently from socal and used to taking the vette up and down mountains and through passes with bikes passing illegally and oncoming riding the line or leaning over it waiting to meet my mirror with their helmet. Lol. I understand they can be unpredictable and dangerous but I'm honestly more concerned with how serious the roads are as far as twisties and the speeds people are entering them at. Like I said I'm new around this area and don't know the good roads yet. :/

Default photo's from cruise

Good to see the LS1 tech community again. I was a former owner of a 2000 LS1 Camaro. Had a good time on the cruise (Supra owner).

Enjoy the pics

Atleast your exhaust stayed together, mine broke a clamp when it scraped...

Thank you everyone who came, it was an awesome group everyone was very friendly and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We had about 20-22 cars, everyone behaved themselves so we had a really fun time. I hope more of y'all can make it out to the next one.
