Thumbs up (Houston) HPD South Coast Fun Run to Galveston Island! Sunday December 5th.

LS1Tech Members, Staff, Friends, and Guests!

Houston Performance Driving.com (HPD) will be hosting one of the largest cruises of the year. HPD invites you to join us for the South Coast Fun Run to Galveston Island. Past HPD G-Town runs have always been +150 to 300 rides. Performance domestics/imports, sport trucks, 4x4 show trucks, and power bikes. Please join HPD for one of the best cruises you'll have all year.

I. South Coast Fun Run Outline:

- There will be (2) meeting locations. (1) NORTH side meeting location and (1) South side meet location.

- After safety/route briefing the group will move to Lake Jackson for a pit stop at Buc-ee's for a fuel/refreshment/restroom break.

- The cruises will continue on to Surfside Beach where the cruise will turn up (NORTH) the Bluewater Highway to Galveston Island.

- TOLL BRIDGE: It will be $2 to cross the toll bridge per ride. HPD has a system that will get everyone through the bridge in 15 mins. We have done this with +300 rides and it works every single time. It will be explained at the SOUTH side meet location.

- Once on Galveston Island we will stop for eats/drinks @ The Spot on The Seawall. Once on location the top section of The Spot will be RSVP'd anyone on the cruise. Full lunch menu and full bar service as well. After you eat feel free to enter any of the bars at The Spot. Take this time to meet others from the cruise and discuss the event.

IV: Cruise Safety:

Ladies and Gentlemen. This will be a 100% SAFE Fun Run to the Galveston. There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for anyone driving unsafe. If you are reported to me for being unsafe and causing danger to others. I will talk with you 1 on 1 privately. If it happens again, you will be asked to leave. We have all spent tons of $$$ and wrench time on our rides. Lets NOT mess them up because one "show-off" was trying to be cool in front of Houston's Fastest Forum.

- Do NOT show-off unsafely.
- Do NOT tailgate others.
- Do NOT shoulder pass.
- Control your passengers.
- Use signals.
- Wear seat belts.
- Keep the N20 bottles closed and the boost on low.
- Use your head.


IV. Fun Run Gear:

- 2 Way Radio. (Will keep you informed on what's happening on the fun run)
- ID.
- Sunglasses.
- Vid camera or Go-Pro mounted camera.
- Comfortable driving clothing.
- Lunch $$$.
- Full tank of gas.
- Sexy copilot
- Clear inspection & registration.

The group will have it's own section for eating on the roof top at The Spot. Room for 60-80 ppl. Once everyone are done with a good meal. We'll filter down into the bars for some spirits and college football. Also cross your fingers that Seawall parking will be open. There are 3 other lots around The Spot to park as well. There should be a good number of sport bikes going with us. Any LS1-Tech peeps choosing to ride, please park in front of the building. Hoping the weather will be in the 70's with sun by November 13th. Please join HPD for a fun Saturday!

Troy.

RESCHEDULED TO SUNDAY DECEMBER 5th!!!

The weather is not looking good for the 13th. We will be using our rain-out date of Sunday December 5th. All meet locations and times will stay the same. We hope that the new date works for those that were going to make the 13th. We further hope that those that could not make the 13th now can on December 5th.

With the 50% chance of T-Storms for Galveston Island....the HPD Staff feels that the cruise will be unsafe. The reason is due to so many people being on drag radial tires that we will have accidents. Also, who wants to cruise in the rain? No one does....

Houston Performance Driving apologizes for the set back, but hopes the weather is better for Sunday December 5th.
Thank you.

Troy - HPD Staff.
