Hey guys this is a save the date for Saturday June 21st.

I am putting together a great backroads run through the National Forest culminating with lunch on Lake Conroe. I have some extras planned that I am working on including something at Tomball Dodge where we will depart from. Eric Wright is helping me with a great route that will really let you stretch the legs on your cars. I am going to do my best to get some of our old members that may not have joined the new club, to come out and spend some time with us, so you don't have to be a VOA member to come out. The only thing that will cost anyone anything will be your lunch tab and your gas.

If you know someone that hasn't rejoined the club for whatever reason reach out to them, this will be a great run to attend.

I will post more details as they become available but mark it on your calender this one will be worth driving out for.

lol. The last time I did that route, Eric and I happened upon the local BMW club driving the forest. It was like a Great white shark at feeding time. :)

Have some stuff in the works that may make it worth your time :) I will be in contact privately to help with your decision :D You can grab a hotel here in the Conroe area if you like the night before, it's 60 miles north of Houston which will shorten your drive home. I'm close there as well with a lift in the garage so if you have any issues I can get you fixed up. Might have a cigar or two that needs to be burned as well.

Yes, we should call it "conversion day". When you can make such an impression to make a BMW owner buy a Viper ACR, you have done something.... :D

Thanks for taking the Bull by the horns on this one Andy. Guys, this is one of the best areas to drive through in the Houston area so a good time is going to be had by all that participate. Really looking forward to it!

I will need an RSVP as we get closer so I can make sure we have enough parking at lunch. Nothing major just a rough count.
In the past we have gone to Papas on the lake, big parking lot and everyone just grabs their own table. Come and go as you please atmosphere.

The drive is the event and lunch at Papas on the water is a great way to end it if you so chose.

Bummer, I get to miss this one. I will be out in Brazil for the World Cup (US v. Portugal on June 22). I am sure it will be fun. Take pics for the rest of us living vicariously through you.

I bought a left over red 2013 SRT. Looking forward to modding the car. I sold a 2014 GT500 to make the switch. Couldn't be more happy.

Hey Ryan:

Welcome, I saw that car moved the day I bought the Blue and Silver 13 that was in there. Never could pass up a good deal. Coming from a Mustang you will want to get that bad boy on the road course up at TWS or MSR Houston at Angleton. You will see a huge difference in the ability to turn! Hope you can make it here, look forward to meeting you!
