TX meet 2013

Code what?
Guys I'd like to apologize for waiting so long to announce anything. I'd like to keep this routine going every year around June-August so those who missed last year this year is still possible. Same place, same schedule. Racetrack Saturday at lil river, stay the night and BBQ/ show Sunday at lake belton. So chime in if your down, I'll have my Ty this year and several other local trucks that didn't make it last year. So if you can spare a Saturday and Sunday to meet in central Texas. Just a bunch of good people, good food and good time then chime in when is NOT a good weekend for you. I'm thinking August will work best this year, allowing more time to prepare.

Re: TX meet 2013

I know I already text you, but just to have all the info in one place, I'm down for any weekend in either July or August. Next month I'll be out of state for work for a few weekends, then I'll be out for a vacation cruise.

Re: TX meet 2013

Last year Erik had a group deal going with a hotel near the track, then he rented a pavillion at the lake.

Yes the area is really centrally located. Belton lake is very nice and provided enough seating for everyone and plenty of parking right in front of the pavilion. Also very close drive to hotels/track. I will check my calendar when I get home. I'm thinking one of the last 3 weekends in August. I will also need to check the availability of the pavilion for that Sunday and go from there. There are a few to choose from at different locations around the lake but that one was perfect!

Depending on if I'm deployed and if my Ty is up to a 7 hour trip I'd love to make it. I haven't seen another SyTy in person since I bought mine.

I'm originally from Louisville, Ky. But I now reside in Clovis, Nm. It's just on the other side of the Tx/Nm border, about 1:45 from Lubbock.

Re: TX meet 2013

High psi, I'll let you know next time in in that area.

Elorjas, sounds good. I try to made it up to Amarillo Dragway whenever I can for TNT. They seem to have the best prepped track around here. I think the next one is on the 1st. I likely won't have the Ty with me then though, unless my wife wants to drive it. I'll be running my HHR next time I make it up there.

Texas is the hottest place I've ever been in my life,and I've been to Vegas,Palm Springs and Death Valley.

In Texas you have to boil the water just to cool it down enough to drink.

Belee dat.

Re: TX meet 2013

Haha. Yeah, it was a shock, to say the least, when I moved from a place where everything is green and hilly and there is nice weather nearly year round to a place where everything is dead, flat, and hot.

Re: TX meet 2013

Ok Yall' Just booked our reservation! Please forgive me for not giving 6 month notice like last year. I want to keep this going year to year so I had to step up before it was too late. As mentioned this will take place between June-August every year. Next year we can vote on a date like last year and begin planning in January/Febuary. Here are the details below for this year!

When: Saturday & Sunday August 10th-11th
Where: Belton, TX. Stillhouse Hollow Lake-Dana Peak Pavilion/Campgrounds
Little River Dragway

I had to choose this weekend based on the track schedule at Little River Dragway. They are only having one Saturday street night in August. Saturday August 10th. I talked to Kirk the racetrack manager and he said gates will probably open at 6 and racing from 7pm-11/12pm. The Saturday night racing was our best bet for cooler weather and more racing.

Here is the pic of the pavilion I reserved for us, same as last year. We occupy it sunday 8am-9pm, I will be there at daylight starting the BBQ for lunch like last year.

I decided to camp at site 25 right next to the pavilion so I can wake up and start cooking vs checking out of a hotel and driving there to start cooking by 7am like last year. (sucked) Campsites are open for saturday night as of now, they will fill up as time gets closer. If you guys want to stay at a Hotel saturday night vs the camping thing I can provide some suggestions later. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last year that was nice and reasonable, very close to the track/lake. Link to the camping at Stillhouse Hollow Lake, TX below. Reservations must be made through recreation.gov There are only 8 campsites available here so splitting with others is wise $16 a campsite, 2 vehicles per site and I beleive 8 people per site allowed. I reserved site 25 so now 7. Electric outlets are available at each site along with tap water.

For those interested in the track, here is there website:

FYI the track is also open friday evening for Test n' Tune, Im thinking about taking off work and camping two nights to hit the track Friday too.

I'll see what I can do about some T-shirts

Not to sure if its worth doing a round of shirts. I know I sold quite a few last year but most who purchased didn't show. Thinking of something new, I'll see how much interest this thread brings and decide from there.

Great! Hoping to get this yearly event turning out more and more Texans each year. I've got a few local guys also wanting to go that do not post here, just lurk occasionally. I've got a lot of work to get done before the meet, I'll see what I can do for some new shirts. If not we could always sport last years. Lol
