Thank you to those who have responded one way or the other. Those that haven't. . I hope the weather holds out, there is a 40% chance of rain, if it doesn't, I'm willing to get my garage queen wet and dirty to socialize with you all, I hope you all do too.

THE PLAN
Meet at the Murphy's Steakhouse eatatmurphys.com at 12:00 Saturday Jan. 15, 2011. After we are done at the restaurant, a road trip to
The Sterling McCall Historic Cadillac Museum

THE LIST

CTC


1. Bill & Sampie

2. John & Eileen

3. Tom & Suzanne

4. Paul & Reeca (maybe)

5. Ron & Barb

6. Cameron

7.
Lenn & Mary

8. Robert & Lorraine(unsure)

CTC members and non members who want to meet at the HEB in Schertz off FM 3009. We'll depart for San Marcos at 9:30. Anyone who would like to meet up with us in San Marcos at the Dairy Queen off TX-80 on the right, we should becoming through there around 10:15 in route to Winchester to meet up with the HAXFD.

HAXFD
1. Dave & Carmen

2. The Beep

3. Terry & Margaret (& Buddy)


4. Glenn

5.
ShaunXFire

6. magredvet

Meet at the McDonalds in Hempstead at 9:30. It's far enough out of town where traffic won't be an issue. The address for those with Nav. 2100 FM 1488 Road, Hempstead, TX 77445. Hempstead is about 1/2 hour up 290 from the beltway. WATCH FOR THE HEMPSTEAD EXIT! 290 curves to the right and over a hill and the exit is RIGHT THERE. There's an Exxon fueling station next door by the freeway. It's about 1hr 15min from Hempstead to La Grange and maybe another 10-15 minutes to Murphy's in Winchester.

DFWXfires
1. Eric (if you are by yourself, I include you in the CTC list)

2. Danny & Sonia

Meet CTC at the Dairy Queen in San Marcos off TX- 80 around 10:15 in route to Winchester.
(Socializing, Showing our cars, Having fun and Making friends)
is what this is all about. Any Crossfire owner is welcome to join us.

I already have the tune. I'm wondering if Jerry can do an on-site (or off-site) twin turbo install???

I realize it may cost a little more than $250

I was telling Jerry about your car had DYNO'd at 268 HP and he wants to run yours on the dyno to compare. Looks like he is coming Sat. I'm sure he will talk with you about it.

I think we're going even if the weather gives up on us. We need some R&R. Been running way to hard, not some much me but my wife, Carmen. I want to spend a little time with some people that share something I really care about.

LantanaTX,

Do you want me to put you on the list for a flash tune at the lunch Sat? So far I think we have three counting you, if you want one done.

Just as long it is not rode hard and put away wet.


The restaurant and museum have been notified to expect between 20 to 25 people. I suspect they can accommodate us if there are some additional people that show up.

Will there be enough time to do tunes. We should be getting out of the restaurant by 2:00 take a 27 mile trip to the museum arrive about 2:30 or so. Tour the museum by 4:00. Tunes after the museum? The cold/wet weather could be an issue?

I think we should play it by ear. I think he can do this quickly, but if that is not the case we can reschedule the tunes for later.

Just got answer to your questions, the tune takes about 90seconds, and is for power, but also happens to increase MPG too. So we only have myself and you wanting a tune, so we will be ready to go in about 5 minutes for us. Well let's make it 20 min .total which includes hook up time for his computer.
Let's bite that steak and look at some old Caddies. What a good time we are going to have.

Thanks Dave. Have you ever been to: Central Texas Museum of Automotive History - Rosanky, Texas
Central Texas Car Museum in Rosanky? We've gone the past two years, men love it, women hate it. So what else is new?
