RX-Club of Houston - November Club Drive

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Greetings all,

Responses recently have been mixed regarding a big club drive, but now that gas prices are low and the weather has cooled it seems like a great time to get out there and cruise.

If you would like to get out on the open road in November and put some miles on your odometer with some fellow rotaries then this thread is for you.

Take a look at the choices in the poll provided. Choose the best option for you. Remeber these drives tend to take several hours and can range in distance from 100-200 miles+.

If you aren't serious please don't post to the thread. If you can attend any of the scheduled times please choose that option.

Thanks,

I've never been on a cruise but they sound like a lot of fun. I'd like to be able to go on one. And the weather and prices have become a bit more...agreeable. Well the weather has anyways, besides all the rain.

Unhappy

I opted for the 18th because my turbo is currently out of the car and waiting the return of the exhaust manifold from A-Spec tuning.

I could always drive my 2002 Protege 5!!!

What: RX-Club of Houston scenic drive; Club drive through farm and country roads eventually ending up at Motorsports Ranch Houston to watch SCCA Regional race action take place.

When: Saturday, November 18th 2006 - Meet at Whataburger located at 17480 W Grand Pkwy, Sugar Land, TX (Hw 59 @ 99/Grand Parkway) between 8:30 and 9 AM for breakfast. Drivers meeting at 9:15 AM and on the road by 9:30 AM !! Don't be late !! Drive should be completed by about 11:30 and arriving at the Motorsports Ranch.

Lunch will be served onsite so bring a few bucks (cash) with you for a burger and a coke. If anyone is interested in a clockwise or sunset run after the first run concludes just let us know!

Everyone is welcome and this is not a contest of speed although there will be more than a couple of opportunities to test those redlines. There are a few planned regroup spots so those who want to take it easy can do so as well.

See you soon,

to far of a drive for me but I might meet up with you guys in the morning and drive to the the other side of town or I might just drive the Audi all the way. I just don't want to drive the loud, stinky, no radio, no A/C RX-7 that far.

Someone has 'northside-itis" :P j/k

C'mon down!!

The route itself has few actual stops and is relatively short in driving distance. In the spring/late winter we will do the northside run which includes the famed Anderson Loop.

If if weren't for Renniasance Festival (traffic+cops) we'd be doing that route this weekend.
