RX-Club of Houston June Meeting - 06/03/2008

RX-Club of Houston June Meeting - 06/03/2008
Greetings everyone,

If you haven't had a chance to enjoy the warmth of a Houston evening come out and join us for the June meeting. As always our meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month. This month we are headed back to the 'bird. Freebird's of course so bring your appetite or just come out and cheer on Chuck "the RX-7 Nut" as he tries to kill another Monster!

Hopefully the weather will be clear and sunny and sunset isn't until 8:19 PM so this will be one of the ideal meets for photogs. I'm going to and see if there are any issues with parking across the street at the post office for this meet! If so get ready to shine up your ride and show it off!

As always we welcome all Mazda owners so bring out those other Mazda sportscars.

Where: Freebird's Burritos - Greenbriar and Shepherd @ US59
When: Parking lot at 6 PM, dinner to follow after 7 PM.

Pics from our last meeting: 20+ cars - http://www.mazdasportscarstampede.co...s/2008/050608/

I was planning on attending but my wife got invited to a diner at City Hall so I have to take her. She is part of a Chinese dance group which performed at the International Day celebration.

We have some Saturday events, Sunday meetings have had poor participation in the past.

Too many auto races/ball games/family days on Sunday ya know.

For those of you who didn't make it out. We ended up the night with 15+ cars.

3 - RX-8's
4 - RX-7's
2 - MX-5's
1 - MS3
4 - 6's

...a couple others showed up in different stuff and AE86, a bike and a gang of the SE guys came in a Suburban together. About 25 people in all. Next month's meeting is going to be held of the North Loop at Gabby's. Always a great meeting there. For those of you thinking of karting, I've learned from some of the hardcore karting guys that the Track21 facility has gone steeply downhill in the last few months. We are thinking of doing a karting day down at MSR Houston instead. The cost will be higher, but it's a real course with fresh (and maintained) karts.

Concession Karts – CRG Spit Fire
One 15-minute session: $30
Four 15-minute sessions: $100

Competition Karts – CRG Dark Rider DD2
One 15-minute session: $65
Four 15-minute sessions: $250

I snapped this pic of one of the S-turns before they painted and finished the track, but it gives you an idea of what the surface is like out there.

If you have your own helmet that would be recommended, they have some loaners onsite as well.

I've seen people out there in normal casual clothes, I'll get more details on safety. Pretty much closed toe shoes would be the biggest requirement, maybe pants, but I doubt it.

Keith,

Let's try a dry run, perhaps just a few of us one weekend. Shame it's hot as the sun this time of year, maybe wait till september or october.

Yeah I agree.

FWIW - I was at the track today. They said they can get as many as 12 at a time on track. So we just need the minimum 4 to get that deal. Just lemmie know when you are ready. I'll start a thread on the local forum about it next week.
