Re: Houston Area xFire Drivers
Hello All Houston Area Crossfire Drivers,
Hey we will be having our next xF Rally soon. Easter break made us hold off. Houston Crossfires although having just started is here to stay. We already have a base of core members (meaning we have enough fine members already) to make this FLY! AND we welcome all within the Houston driving area to come and join us. I am a pretty avid sailor and hope to incorporate another sail with the next rally. Stay tuned! Our name might stay Houston Crossfires or Houston Area Crossfires. I hope most will like it and ther focus will be on fun activities. You are welcome to reply with fun suggestions to include on our next rally.
Happy rides,
George Golden

Re: Houston Area xFire Drivers
You guys ready to hook up with us sometime somewhere in the middle that is good for both clubs. We are now looking for ideas for our next GTG this April on the 13th.

Re: Houston Area xFire Drivers
There is a cruise to Galveston happening on the April 13th in conjunction with Houston Performance Driving. Here are the details:
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.

We need a parking area we can line the cars up and then go inside out of the heat to talk. Suggestions in the Houston area are welcome.
