To be honest, I haven't even checked. Should probably do that......

We really only meet once a month. What part of town are you in? I attempt to wrangle them up more often but we sometimes have small get togethers to do a Lime Creek run or lunch/dinner. Welcome!

I'm in the northern part (2222/360), but I don't mind driving anywhere... I mean, I just got a new Z!

Cool, I'm up at 620/Parmer near a few other Zs.


So are we going to look into a watch party?

:yum: I work just up the top of the hill at 2222 and Mopac. That is a fun little drive from 360 if you haven't done it yet :driving:

I just checked the Houston Comcast broadcast schedule, and it shows the race as being broadcast live.

I swear I saw some disclaimer on Speed a few weeks ago about the broadcast being subject to local restrictions. Hope that isn't the case, and apologies for creating a stir about probably nothing.

Isn't i sold out anyway?

I'd rather not attend even if it wasn't sold out this year. Traffic is going to be a nightmare and I only have the Z to ride down in.

JAR should volunteer his house for the watch party. :p

If past history with any new track is an indication, you are making the right move. It took about five years for Texas Motor Speedway to get things sorted. There are just way too many variables at play to ever get things to work smoothly at first.

I'm going to record the race if I can and do some recon for a future cruise on some back roads south of Houston to Galveston.

Weather will be great for both the race and cruising.

:iagree + :thumbsdown:

You would have to take that up with my wife. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to watch it with you guys anyway. I forgot my wife volunteered us for minor roles in a short movie a friend is making.

You always have other plans. :shakes head: I'll be, hopefully, doing a shoot on Saturday around Austin. Sunday is free so I guess I'm watching the race on my 52".

Not me! My better half... :icon17:

:tup: on photo shoot... do you have the location(s) planned out already?

Nope, my buddy is supposed to be doing the research on that since he's been around town a lot more. Downtown is going to be crazy due to F1 so we'll see what type of shots we can even get.

I've seen some cool photos with the old power plant building, but being at 1st & Lamar I think I'd pass this time around.

I will post some feedback on Friday, I will be out there all day utilizing the park and ride. Depending on how Friday goes, it will determine if I go back on Saturday and Sunday even thought I put out the big bucks for it.

Pintsize725 11-13-2012 03:58 PM

Too bad I can't do a shoot at the track. That would be :yum:

Been in Austin for a bit over a year and a half, but brand new to the Z world (less than 12 hours!). Look forward to meeting all the Z fans. Anything I need to know about the gatherings?

Welcome - congrats on the purchase
