New bloke asking for help (Texas info please)

Tons of stuff to do around Houston, Austin and San Antonio. If your down around the time for Day of the Drags - it's a must. The best cars and racing around. http://dayofthedrags.com/

May want to watch the HAMB Calendar too.

 

Hey, the Day of the Drags at Temple is October..........

 

I know what your saying about the driving on the opposite side of the road to what your used to dude .
Luckily iv'e been over there four times so far and although its a little hairy at times I find your roads pretty cool to drive on (famous last words eh ).
I pitty you guy's if you come here as we've got sign post and roundabout pollution .

Thanks thats a great offer but my misses would SCh*tT herself if she had to drive over there on the right .
So you work for Danny, who's Bruce ? Will sure try to stop off at the shop though ta'.
Cheers
DAVE.

 

Thanks Alex seems theres no shortage of ex pats in the area. I went to last years wheels day Surrey Street Rodders (It snowed lol ).
It's a long way off yet but we are really starting to look forward to the trip all being well, the work situations a little dodgy what with the econemy the way it is at the mo though so fingers crossed my job holds out OK for the year.

DAVE.

 

Well the dates look to be that we arrive in Houston between 15th-18th of October for 14 days so if anyone has any meet dates bring em' on .
We got plenty of snow here at the mo so it seems a long way off !

Cheer's the DAVESTER.

THE DAVESTER.

 

Hi' all, if anyone has any deffinate dates for any hot rod stuff happening between the 15th & the 29th October 2010 around the Houston area I would sure like to know.
I have emailed the web site for THE DAY OF THE DRAGS to try and get the dates but got no reply, I like nostalgia racing and 60's style hot rods myself especially Willys & Anglia g***er's. Gotta get something sorted cuz the wife is giving me an ear bashing about booking the flight's !
Thank's again in advance,
DAVE.

 

You may want to send Eli Guzman a note and find out when the Highway Horrors Halloween Party is. THAT is an event you wouldn't want to miss. Everyone would expect you to dress up like a Red Coat though.

Search the HAMB for pics of lastr years party. I can't remember when it was exactly but you're hitting the right time frame. Great way to meet a LOT of Hambers from this area.

 

Found this. Shows most of the Texas shows...

Cheers all, DAVE.
