another big announcement! Thanks to Kevin at metaltags.com/ we will not only have a fresh batch of the popular Thirdgen roundup Decals, but this year we will also have car show plaques! No categories, just awards for the top 5 favorite cars. Thanks Kevin for your support for not only this year's roundup, but last year as well. (by the way Kevin has the monster Formula that I can't WAIT to see) |

yes, certainly. Robbie was a huge help. Without him we would not have had the banners, we wouldn't have had the cool shirts, and we might not have had a roundup at all, because he kicked my butt to get things done when I didn't have the time or motivation do mess with it.
And he also personally made sure the guys from DFW were not going to back out from going.

I rolled in blaring weird Al's "white and nerdy", and everyone just stared at me like I was a big goof, but despite that, it was a good show. Maybe next year we should do it in Dallas to be fair to those guys up there?

I didn't hear that, wish I had. I love that song
Robbie and I are going to look at some locations in southern DFW first, but it is coming back to Houston in the near future. I never want to leave it in one place, but spread it around. I could see it alternating between Houston and Dallas every year, or maybe throw in an Austin appearance every now and then, IF the austin guys show that they are willing to support it when it's not in their backyard.
Even when we had it in Austin, I think the Dallas guys out numbered them, and that just shouldn't happen to a city that size.

Hey everyone, just wanted to speak up from Austin.
Yes, we had very few show from Austin this year. Active members has gone down. Days go by with no new posts on the forums.
Lets see if I can break it down in percentages...
35% - prior commitment.
35% - under the knife.
15% - running, but not great. Afraid of breaking down.
10% - was going, but car became in-op at the last minute.
5% - pissed it moved from Austin.
Present active members is around 12.
Bottom line is, we are not pissed it moved (well, only 5%).
We look forward to next year, and I'm sure Austin will be there in full force. So watch out you plaque winners, Austin has some sweet rides. LOL

well from what i heard and seen when it was in austin you still had the fewest show. our plan is to move it around so that each place has a short drive. we got the short drive and a good turn out this year. i will drive to near dallas or austin. i enjoyed the drive to austin last year. heck i want to drive to illinoise to that meet.
