Itinerary For The 2nd. Annual Texas Z Party 2009
Description
Friday June 19 at 7PM
We’re going to Sekula’s Bar-B-Que on Hwy. 6 in Manvel.
Plan on having supper and meeting our guests as they arrive in town.
This is a good old-fashioned Texas Ice house.
We’ll have special pricing on food and beer.
There’ll be a live blues band.
Bring the kids.
Expect a good time !
Saturday June 20 at 9AM ~ 5PM
We have motorsport Ranch Houston
www.msrhouston.com
Reserved for the whole day…..just us….all to ourselves !
The BP/CASTROL TRACK EVENT !
This will be the perfect opportunity for you to drive your car the way it was meant to be driven…and an opportunity for you to learn to drive, if you’ve never been on a track.
We’ll have different classes…so don’t be intimidated…, beginners to racing.
Licensed Instructors will be available.
Show-n-shine car show-sponsored by AWESOME Z.
www.awesomez.org
This will be a people’s choice award with many other awards for different categories. Time to rise-n-shine with competition from across the state !
This is going to be a full day, with MSR’s adjacent kart track available at special pricing. We’re trying to have something for everybody…
Kids under 16 will be provided with kites for their entertainment at the South-West End of the track.
A Dyno will be made available to find out EXACTLY how many horses you’re putting down to the ground…with special pricing from LONGHORN RACING, located there at the track.
Lunch will be provided with each registration/entry fee paid.
Immediately after lunch, we’ll have the customary “drive around” parade laps.
This is an opportunity to take your wife, kids, dogs, etc out on the track, in a controlled environment (following a pace car/truck) and show them the line !
Around 2pm, we’ll slow it down for a while, as we have an old fashioned ice cream social.
The track goes cold at 5pm and then is when we do the awards and raffle prizes.
When we close down the track, we’ll head back to the host hotel and figure out where we want to go for supper.
Sunday June 21 at 10AM
We’ll meet in the parking lot of the host hotel at 10am for the caravan to SPACE CENTER HOUSTON! Parking is $4 and we’ve made arrangements for ½ price tickets ! We’ve also made arrangements for special parking, so that you can go in and relax and enjoy yourself without having to worry about door dings!

If you see yourself doing this on a semi-regular basis (our little group does several a year)…and we have probably a dozen (or more) available to us, I highly recommend buying your own helmet.
Right now, you can get some outrageous buys on Snell ‘00’s because they have a life of 10 years, so this helmet would only be good for about another year and a half.
Go ahead and buy an ’05….they re-rate them at the factory, every 5yrs.
They overlap every 5yrs.
Or…
Wait another year and buy an 2010 model.
I have a really neat article that I wrote several years ago, about buying your first helmet.
If you’d like, I’ll try to dig it up and send it to you.
