check out http://www.wacocvb.com Waco Convention Bureau for maps and descriptions of locales available for a M&G.

[moparman53]

I think Waco is an excellent location. I don't know that much about it except Dr. Pepper was first served here in a drugstore. There's a Texas Ranger Museum and a good zoo in Cameron Park. The Baylor Bears Women's Basketball team were National Champs last year. IH35 runs right through it.

[Mags]

Great idea...........about 3 hrs from here.............

[charginscott]

Me and the wife are thinking about going altho I will be working graveyards thru the weekend, I will be off Mon thru Wed.

She loves the Texas Ranger Museum

[Arch Stanton]

I might be able to swing that. Baylor football is playing at TCU that weekend so hotel rooms shouldn't be terribly hard to find.

That is opening weekend for college football though and it's like crack to me, so I likely wouldn't be able to make it if they plan on holding the M&G that Saturday.

Why not do it in Austin? Only a 3hr drive from Houston and DFW(Driving the speed limit) We could take over Lime Creek road or hang out at the lake. Take over a mall parking lot or something. Highland mall doesn't have JCpennys any more so thats empty all the time. Just a suggestion. Post this up to charger forums if one of you could please.

Everyone over on CF has pretty much agreed that it wold be a Cental location for almost everyone. I'm not saying that Waco is better than Austin B/C we all no thats not even the issue it's just about location location location. Trust me Austin is much closer to me then Waco but I'm only one person, beside I don't mind a nice road trip. Did you not want to drive to Waco?

[ChargerR/T8604]

I love taking road trips plus wwe can get a big convoy from all the different regions and head up there. I personally think waco is the best place for it as well, but I would pretty much be down for anything.

Hear! Hear! I totally agree with you. Waco is a great choice, not because it's a cooler place than Austin. We all know that would be hard to swallow, but because it's more centrally located.

[BIGREDBEAST29]

That was just a suggestion. For houst folks that may be another hour to the total. Austin has the heat wave car show in July so i'm not trying to get it changed just a suggestion is all.

[HEMI4UCME]

Yeah, what they said, and I wanna take a road trip. Austin is too close for me. lol

[HEMI4UCME]

How much ya need? Maybe we can get a fund going to get ya over here.



I got $5 on it!!! hahahaha

[Redfox0099]

....Waco is a great idea....but what about a location that has a nearby drag strip?

http://www.staginglight.com/links/trackfinder.html#TX

Just a thought....I put about 35K miles on my car a year...location doesn't matter to me but a little Drag Racing would be fun to go along with a M&G and Car Show, like the SE Shindig I drove 800 miles to go to last year and this year too.

[STAGE 3 R/T]

round trip for the car is about 1500, then airfare for me 700... hope i can get my car in SEMA this year!

[moparman53]

Any dates yet?

[ChargerR/T8604]

labor day weekend. I'm guessing saturday would be best

[low-viz]

Waco'll work. The Dr Pepper museum is not too far from the Texas Rangers museum and they have real "cane sugar" Dr Pepper, not that high fructose corn syrup stuff you get everywhere else. You'd be suprised how it makes a difference in the taste...:thumbs_u:

[ChargerR/T8604]

do have to get it at the dr pepper museum?

[moparman53]

Maybe Cameron Park would be a good place to meet. There's also a lake there, Lake Waco, on the west side of town. My half-brother scared the pee out of me when I was about 6 or 7 by pretending to drive down a boat ramp into the lake there in a rainstorm.

[ChargerR/T8604]

we could have a BIG barbeque or something and REALLY do it Texas style!!!

[ChargerR/T8604]

I can donate some of the meat or something, I'm sure we can get lots of ppl to pitch in. or we can just eat at hooters.

[TaylorMotorSports]

I can donate some of the meat or something, I'm sure we can get lots of ppl to pitch in. or we can just eat at hooters.
I'm down for whatever, but if we did Hooters, I'm sure we could convince some of "the staff" to pose for pics with the cars! :wink:

[USCG Charger]

Like I said before I'm from Waco, and I think Camron Park and a BBQ would be great. Or even the lake b/c the park might be hard for some people to locate where we are in the park. Either way I'm game for whatever, Yaou can't beat abunch of LX'ers having a BBQ talking about there cars.

[HEMI4UCME]

Shouldn't be hard to locate a bunch of LX's parked together in the park.

[TxSwimDad]

Sounds like a party! I put it on my calendar so the family won't schedule me for something else.

[moparman53]

[midoco]

I'm in for Waco.

[ChargerR/T8604]

ok I believe the OFFICIAL date is the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. That gives Saturday for travel, Sunday for fun, and Monday for recovery :)

[moparman53]

Damn, I'll probably have to work that Monday. I almost always have to work on holidays. The good thing is that Waco is just over an hour away.

[Mags]

What kind of events are we going to do?

[USCG Charger]

OK guyz we've kinda changed locations for the better. We were thinking of doing it in Temple,Tx. @ http://www.templeraceway.com/ (http://www.templeraceway.com/) which is about 30-40 min. south of waco.
I called them yesterday. Ok Kirk told me that on labor day wkend they normally have their HD shootout all wkend...Thurs-Sun. He was saying that if we wanted to run in our own bracket he could prolly fit us in for $20 a car. I told him I wasn't sure how many car would show but it would be around 10-20, maybe even more. He said normally they rent the track out to clubs for the day and it's around $1200 but since they were having that HD shoot out and I wasn't sure if our dates were flexable he would do us a favor.

So what do you guys think?

We could still do the M&G in Waco then transit to Temple or relocate the M&G in the parking loty of the Track which was fine with Kirk?

LETS MAKE THIS THING HUGE! I'll tlak to kirk @ the track and see if we can bring a BBQ pit and have a real party! We just need to get someone who lives close to bring their pit unless ya'll just wanna fin for urself. I'd like to have a BBQ pit there so we can have a lobor day party. Any suggestions?



Temple sounds like a good place to relocate the M&G to. From google: Map From most major Texas Cities to Temple. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=Dallas,+TX&daddr=Temple,+TX+to:Houston,+TX+to:Temple,+TX+to:S an+Antonio,+TX+to:Temple,+TX+to:Austin,+TX&layer=&mrcr=5&sll=30.259067,-97.915649&sspn=3.30671,4.921875&ie=UTF8&z=7&ll=30.684605,-97.542625&spn=6.582635,9.84375&om=1)

I'm game for what ever.

[BIGREDBEAST29]

That sounds real good to me.

[TxSwimDad]

That sounds good, though you might ask if it is going to run as 1/4 or 1/8th mile at that time. Some may not be interested in the 1/8th. Either way, it would be a fun day.

[USCG Charger]

I'll go all the leg work on getting the track together for us on that day. I hope it's for the 1/4 mi. I'm pretty sure it is though. We should also have our own brackets as well. This thing is gonna be huge. More info will be posted on www.chargerforums.com (http://www.chargerforums.com) as well. I'm trying to be the messenger but it's not working to well.

[USCG Charger]

someone posted this on chargerforums:

Ok, now I have a moderated mailing list setup to subscribe send an empty email to meet-subscribe@texaschargers.com (meet-subscribe@texaschargers.com) also, lets have some volunteers to moderate the list. Another question should it remain moderated? The reason I ask is I figured we would only use the list to distribute updates and news regarding the meet however, should we want to use it for general chat I can disable the moderation. Let me know.

[Mags]

That sounds great..............:thumbs_u:

[Arch Stanton]

Sounds good. I'd lean heavily towards having everything in one place though rather than trying to coordinate a get together in Waco and everybody trekking 40 miles away to a track. Just do everything at the track and make a whole day of it whether some people want to make few runs or not.

[USCG Charger]

Ok guyz I have some bad news. I called Kirk on the way home from work just to make sure it's a go b/c of the interested LXers. He told me that that sunday there was no way he could get us in now. H edid however say that anyother sunday would work.

So these is our options since I feel everyone really was diggin the track type M&G:

A: Relocate to another track somewhere along I35, and keep the same date. I think there is one in San Antonio, DFW area, Houston, if you know of anyother please let me know so I can get this setup ASAP if this is waht ya'll want to do.

B:Change the date and still have it @Temple Track. IF this is what you want It would most likly be held on SAT so fri, and sun would be travel days. If this is what you want at least think of a month to do it.

C: Keep the date and the Waco location and not do the Track thing.

I'm doing my best guyz so hopfully we have a huge bash that day! Work w/me.

I think Temple is still a good location and we could pick another date, I think this would also allow us to reserve the track for the date and have a more MOPAR/Charger focused event. I believe that if we get the word out and charged a small cover like 20 bucks or so we could easily have over 100 cars show up allowing us to rent out the track and maybe have a little car show and such. If we could generate the interest I am willing to be we could find some area dealers to sponsor the event.

I'm game with that for sure. I can call him back and ask, but if we wanted the whole track for ourself it would be $1100 for the whole day. Which isn't bad at all for the amount of car that would be there. Or we could just pay the $20 a car and have other people there as well. I say we rent the track for ourselves.

[TaylorMotorSports]

I'll have to bow out anyway...Sundays don't work for me at all.

[USCG Charger]

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

[USCG Charger]

Ok guyz it's a go! I set up the date with the Temple Track Sept 15! They start racing around 3pm. He said we can either put our cars in our own brackett or race against other type cars in our class. I'd rather run against other cars as well. He also said that we need a helmet if our car runs below 13.5 sec. He said that they have a few up their to rent us if needed. He's gonna put down on the web site that "Dodge Chargers" racing that night, and we could get some advertisement from this. He will also cut us a deal on the entry fee as well from $20 to around 10-15.

Well this is it guyz it's a done deal so make plans to come and race or just hangout.

I'm assuming you'll take 190 to Belton? Then take FM 436 to Little River-Academy. There might even be a sign for that; I'm not sure. Anyway, turn south on SH95. The track will be immediately on your right as soon as you cross the Little River.

looks like we are going back to the original idea of labor day weekend in Waco and no racing...

[BIGREDBEAST29]

That is why I am trying to get a car club going in the centex area. Most of us here don't mind racing or just watching and hanging out. The idea for racing it seems was to add some punch to the all tex M&G. At least with a club the whole group knows whats going on and all can decide on one or more things. Waco still sounds good to me but the racing would have added some excitement.
