There is a regular Fbody meet in Austin once a week on Thursdays (places very but no racing, just car chat and beers). Get to know the regulars here in Austin and in AFBforums.com because we do not post on the internet where the fun happens.

Since the old car show (called 1431) broke up, the car shows have been split up between the north and the south. The north location is in Round Rock (as stated above) and the south location is in Oak Hill at the Y (it is called the Y because that is where HW 290 and HW 71 split when you are leaving Austin.)

If you want to go out to a meet where people run their cars, rather than their mouths, PM me.
