73-87 truck meet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gldevall · 03-01-2004, 05:30 PM

Who's up for a truck meet?

A lot of guys from TX, so let's say in Houston or Dallas. Anybody interested? And I really like Ocbaud's idea of renting a track for a day or so. Run what'ya brung!

74Pumpkin · 03-01-2004, 07:15 PM

3rd Choice! Minnisota

C&C Chevy · 03-01-2004, 07:17 PM

I like the Dallas site. A little more centrally located for us Okies.

bagged74 · 03-01-2004, 07:24 PM

DEFINITELY DALLAS, MIGHT GIVE ME AN EXCUSE TO GET THE BLAZER OUT AND DRIVE IT.

Slonaker · 03-01-2004, 07:25 PM

I would probably attend if we could get a few people together. I think the truck would make it.

If you want strippers, you need to come to Atlanta!

Dallas or Houston??? Either way it's a 12 hour trip for me...

Why not more central like Menphis TN? They have a nice 1/4 mile track!

8t5Silverado · 03-01-2004, 07:56 PM

Texas is kind of south for our northern members.

**N2TRUX** · 03-01-2004, 08:09 PM

What about meeting at Super Chevy in Ennis? If you want to show or race you have it all there along with a swap meet. I plan to piick up my 77 that weekend and make the Dust Off show on Saturday, and Super Chevy on Sunday...

1985K10 · 03-01-2004, 08:59 PM

How about the New England area? I feel left out....

**N2TRUX** · 03-01-2004, 09:01 PM

Guys it's going to be impossible to get a central location that "everyone" will like. I suggest you guys in the midwest and great white north set plans for a GTG as well...

Here's the info on Super Chevy in Ennis- April 23-24-25 Texas Motorplex-Ennis, TX

kevhill85 · 03-01-2004, 09:13 PM

i like the super chevy show idea. i'm going to the dust off to .

gchemist · 03-01-2004, 10:55 PM

I like Austin. Heart of Texas. Temple Academy Raceway would be a nice place to shoot it out. Easy pass on safty stuff and 1/8 and 1/4 mile passes.
Plus:
Rental of the track is now available for individuals or clubs
For more information contact Linda Tomastik at 254-982-4512 or email promoter@templeacademy.com

Schedule http://www.templeacademy.com/schedule.html
I'm heading out this month or next!!

boataddict26 · 03-01-2004, 10:58 PM

How about us Floridians? Gainesville has BAD A$$ track!! Just got a road course, and a drift course. Nice quarter also.

**swervin ervin** · 03-01-2004, 11:19 PM

You see the problem is, Texas is so damned big it's like a whole nother planet. Then we have so many dudes on here from that planet, it's real easy for them to have a meet by themselves. The rest of us jerks are not included in their fun. They don't want us to invade their territory. Probably afraid we would add some class to it or something. :p

you dont understand, i know stippers in Minnesota.

Prerunner1982 · 03-02-2004, 12:21 AM

Ennis would be good, i have been to Texas Motorplex before... back then it was pretty much in the middle of nowhere. the people that lived across the street rented thier land for parked and camping. I would certainly try to make it...................just over 4hrs drive for me, wife and daughter would love it..

ocbaud · 03-02-2004, 12:33 AM

yes, i'm up for a texas meet. or oklahoma for that matter. i would LOVE to rent a track though

low 84 · 03-02-2004, 12:41 AM

i'm game for any place in texas provided its announced early enough that i can get off.

ocbaud · 03-02-2004, 12:42 AM

i'm "game"(as ryan said) as long as my engine is done. which should be soon. i got my federal tax back today

If this were 10 years ago, I'd be willing to start another "who knows more?" thread. I am happily married with children now, so I'll give you this one even though your ammo comes from Minnesota!

Yeah how about all two of us down here

Hey 1 fast i lived in Indy for 1.5 yr's and you can't call them strippers they don't even let them take their clothe's off!

Like Low87 said come to Fla. or Ga. where they bare it all

sam79 · 03-02-2004, 07:38 PM

I would love to join a meeting but it's just a bit to far for me. About a 10 hours flight for me and a boattrip of two weeks for my truck. So I think I'll skip this one, sorry guys.

1974StepSide · 03-02-2004, 08:16 PM

Whatta 'bout a Nor-Cal meet???
