Default Houston Cannonball 6-10-06

This will be the first time we do this in Houston, its a short run, but should be fun.
It starts at the macaroni grill (5802 Westheimer Rd. • Houston, TX 77057) and ends at the Balinese Room in Galveston (seawall across from the galvez)

starts at 8PM we leave about 9

The cannonball is not a race, rather a social event that involves a spirited drive! you do not need a fast car, nor do you need to speed. The cannonball concludes with a VIP party at the end.

I need to buy a new set of tires THAT STICK to the ground. Infiniti does not put any tires that grip even when you get a G Sedan w/ the sport package.
