Anyone going to to car and truck show in Houston.

 

Uhh.....how did you spell that again?

 

What is going on here. Its farking hot this summer.... what car show?

 

ahh its gunna be at the Sam Houston Race track out in there huge parking lot right down the street from my place its gunna be the 19th and 20th. http://www.texasshowdown.com/

 

Anyone going? For how hot it my be. There might be some decent eye candy.

 

I go to the one in Austin every year, I skip the other ones... especially San Antonio, I heard it's a big waste of time

 

yea I thought heatwave was in austin?

I go to a big classic car show at the TX motor speedway.

 

There are a few Heatwave shows, the main one is the Austin one. There is also Corpus, San Antonio and Houston

 

hmm, I didnt know that. I have a buddy who goes every year and says its totaly worth going. I just dont wanna have to drive 4 1/2 hours to go to a car show

 

Austin is worth going to... it takes hours to see everything and there is a lot of variety, the other good thing about it is there are 2 buildings that have cars inside of them as well so you can take breaks and escape the heat.

 

I am planning to go to the one in Austin. I went 2 years ago and had a lot of fun.

 

Here are a few pics from the Austin show 2008. This should get everyone pumped up.

 

Goodguy's or Pate? I usually go to both too.

 

I went to the heatwave last year and it sucked. It was all mall crawlers and lowered POS chevy 1500's.
Also, if you go, try to sneak in water bc its expensive there! Like 5$ a bottle.

 

I definitely would have loved to see that long travel tacoma there! It wasn't there when I went...

 

The key is to enter your truck into the show. It is the same price as a 1 day ticket. Along with entering your truck you get 2 passes for the whole weekend and you can bring your truck into the gates.
I am planning on doing this and setting up a grill and having an ice chest of beer and water. Weekend long tailgate party.

 

yep that's exactly what we shouldve done!
and you'll see a lot of people there doing that.

 

I plan on doing that... this will be my first year not actually showing though

 

That truck is bad ass! They was a feature for Rock & Roll off road in Off road magazine a couple months ago & they did an artical on that tacoma.
