Cool HPD - Houston Performance Driving Cruise to Galveston 4/13/08. (Sunday)*

S! 6speed Members, Staff, and Guests!

H.P.D. - Houston Performance Driving invites YOU!

The staff is working on setting up a massive G-Town Cruise. (South Coast Cruise) The staff will be doing all it can to bring you another famous HPD G-Town Cruise. This will be open to other crews and forums. Please come out once the date is set and hang with HPD! These type of events are the best way to get to know the members and see what HPD is all about.

I. Outline:

There will be (2) meet locations:

*North side: 10AM w/ roll out at 11AM. Meet up will be at the massive parking lot on 59 N in Kingwood. There is a parking lot on the 59 N service rd just past Kingwood Dr. There is a Texas Road House and Luby's in the lot. If you pass North Park Dr. you have gone too far.

*South side: 11AM w/ roll out at Noon. Meet up will be at 288 S. @ 518 W. In the Hobby Lobby parking lot.


The group will travel down 288 S to Lake Jackson and take 332 E to Surfside Beach. Once at the coast we will turn up the Bluewater Hwy to Galveston. There will be a $2.00 Toll at the pass. Important: There is a pay system we will use to get us off the bridge ASAP. We have used it the last several cruises with much success. Look below for details. Once on the island we will stop for lunch at Salas's Mexican and Seafood. There will be a table ready for +80 people to eat. When the late lunch is finished we will head down to Cherry Hill for a quick* meet up and pics session. The group will not hang at Cherry Hill for very long. After pics we will head back up 45 N to Houston. Break-off when your exits comes.


*Pay System for Toll Bridge* = The Cruise Leader (Troy AKA xtc4us) will pay for the first 10 cars = $20.......the car that is #11 in line will need to get out and collect $2.00 from the next 9 rides = $20.00. Once the person collected their $20.00 you need to let the next person in the chain know they have to get out and collect $18.00 + your* $2.00 = $20.00....it keeps going until we the end of the line. FYI: It will only take about 15-20 minutes to get off the bridge with +200 rides.

Note: EZ Tag does not work*


II. Safety:

There will be a zero tolerance on any unsafe driving. Please do not drive outside of your ability and endanger the life of anyone on the road. There will be HPD Staff members keeping an eye on the group. They will report any unsafe driving to me. First time I will talk privately with the driver. If reported a second time, I will ask the driver to leave the cruise. I'm sure this will not be a problem because it never is. Everyone wants to cruise right? Keep the N20 bottles closed and boost on low.

- Use signals.
- Control speed.
- Wear seat belts.
- Use your head.
- No shoulder passing.
- No racing.
- No stunting bikes*.

What is the head/wheel count at this point?

If the Maserati is out of the shop by then, we will likely be present with a QP and a Spur. Are there any planned fuel stops as I imagine this is not going to be the best for MPG.

- Head count is looking to be about +125 cars/trucks/bikes.

- There will be a fuel stop on the route. It will be in Lake Jackson at a place called Buckees. AKA The Beaver!

I'm going to try to get my friend to bring out his new orange Murci. My other friends QP isn't out of the shop yet, so it appears that I'll be there in the Bentley alone (or with some friends in it anyway).
