Hey Everyone,
David beat me to reporting on the meeting but it was a good one. I have to agree with him, it was a great day for a drive!
Come on now Morgan, I think everyone there was quite "intelligent"! Well, maybe not old Bull Durham, but he's an Ag like me so it's ok
There is never going to be a time when we please everyone on meeting time, place or Temp so everybody come out when you can. It's not all about the cars, it's mainly about the people so if it's too hot or too cold or raining ect...come on out in the daily drivers and socialize. We have great people in this group so there is rarely a good reason (hurricanes, floods ect) for a bad turn out.
We all had a good time. Scott and I took a back road cruise (aprox 110 miles) starting around 2 and with the breeze and driving "around" 55mph, (yeah right) temp was not even a factor. I found out that Scott is a little speed demon. He made me use all 6 of my carbs just to keep up! Both of our cars seem to be running very well.
As for the meet, Whiskey Dicks is a large air conditioned place so the temp at 5 was not a factor there either. A bunch of Harleys showed up as well, so we got to scope out their bikes while they checked out our cars.
Although there were only 6 or 7 cars we had a good turn out because some people came in their daily drivers.
Rocket Man wasn't racing this weekend so he brought out the Drag Cobra. Man is that thing cool. I think the Houston club has the quickest cobra in Texas. Of course he only has a 3 gallon gas tank so in the end I think I can take him.
David once again was a trooper making the 200 mile round trip from Kountze and this time in his Cobra! First time I got to see it. Good Job David!
We decided on some standard meeting places that we will use to rotate the meetings. In the North (Joe's Crab Shack), South (Sundance Grill) and West (59 Diner & Captian's). We are still scouting for a location in the East. Next month we will be up North on the 2nd Saturday so put it on your schedule.
We also talked about cruises being planned by any and all club members...If you want to organize a cruise, just post it with meeting time and destination and go. I will still try to get a combo Austin/Houston or Dallas/Houston one together but other than that you guys bring it on.....let's ride.
