S! 350Z Members, Staff, and Guests!

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.

how many Z's are going to go?

 

I saw few Zs there other than myself. I was in the Chromesilver w/BBS style rims.
Sound off if you were there!

 

I was in my VR-4, but I didn't seem too many Z's. I was at Salsa's, heard some folks went elsewhere. Didn't do the cruise, just checked it out since I was in Galveston. I was surprised to hear of a couple incidents. Supposedly a Z06 blew his engine and an M5 got hit by some Honda punk without insurance, all part of the cruise.

 

 

I was there


Yeah the honda incident was horrible, he popped the clutch and hit the M5 at a light then him and he thought it was smart to try to run

Luckily about 6 cars from the cruise chased him down and blocked his car in and waited for the police.

As far as the Z06 from what I hear it was a stock Z06 racing everything on wheels the whole way down but I didn't see the racing just the smoke and him pull off to the side so I cant verify that he was racing or not

 

There were too many ricers for my liking.
Ricers acting foolish, not behaving, wanting to
ruin the cruise for everyone. These clowns just
revving their engines at evreybody...lol.
This guy almost rear ended everyone in front,
he had to swerve off the road, not paying attention.

Alot of really nice cars though.
Here's a few more pics of the Z's I saw, and one
sweet G that had me drooling.

 

All true.
The vette was racing and blew the engine.
Unfortunately the M5 was rubbed the wrong way by the civic,
and an unsuccessful escape ensued. We just missed another incident
when the camaro nearly caused a pile up.

I enjoyed it, despite the incidents.
I wish you would have brought you Nismo instead.

 

Good cruise. A few ricers, barf. Got separated in Galveston. I was in the blue Z

 

wish i went to this instead of HIN, HIN was gay!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah unfortunately sometimes the "ricers" tag along but that is with most cruises that are posted on as many boards as this one was.

I was in the black 06' G35 with the JDM badging (I know Im not a big fan of the JDM badges either but they have a story)

Sorry I didn't get to meet everybody, I was sick and took off as soon as we got to Galveston but next time I will make an effort to make an intro to all of you
