TX2K12 - AKA Texas 2012 Event

I wanted to know who here was looking at going to this event this year and from what city you are coming from. For all of those who don't know about it, information below.

The TX2K event started as a small grass roots Supra only event in 2000 in Houston, Texas and since that time has grown into a national car event that attracts hundreds of cars and thousands of people from across the United States. At the 2010 event, we had 26 of the states represented including visitors from other countries. In addition to a strong continued committment from the Supra community, this event draws a large number of other car enthusiasts including Porsche's, Viper's, Lamborghini's, Corvette's, etc. The event schedule follows the same basic format each year.

TX2K12 Schedule

Thursday March 15, 2012 - Drivers Education & Time Attack Event At MSR Houston
Friday March 16, 2012 - Dyno Day With 2 Side By Side Dynometers At Hennessey Performance Engineering
Saturday March 17, 2012 - Qualifying, Test & Tune & Roll Racing At Lonestar Motorsports Park
Sunday March 18, 2012 - Eliminations At The Drag Strip At Lonestar Motorsports Park

HoustonPerformanceDriving.com will be hosting the TX2K12 Night Meet & Bikini Contest @ Frank-N-Steins Bar and Grill in Katy! Frank-N-Steins will be the Head Quarters for all TX2K12 meet ups and driver gatherings during the event week. TX2K Coordinator Peter Blach along with Houston Performance Driving would like to welcome all the TX2K drivers and spectators to The Power City!

The fastest and most powerful street cars in the nation will be coming to Houston, TX for the TX2K12 National Performance Meet. It's a privilege for HPD to be able to work with the TX2K and Frank-N-Steins Staffs to bring you a "***** deep" TX2K12 Night Meet this year.

Night Meet Rules and Parking
1) Please do not drive in a unlawful manner. There will be a lot of people walking around the parking lot. We do not need anyone injured by someone trying to show-off. There will be police officers at the meet working that will ticket you for anything that warrants it.

2) No burn outs, loud music, or continual engine revving. Please be respectful of these rules and everything will be just fine.

3) Please be respectful of all rides at the Night Meet. Please do not sit or lean on any car/truck/bike.

4) Use your common sense and please be 100% safe at all times. It's that easy.

Parking
1) The small parking area in front of Frank-N-Steins is for sponsors and VIPs. If you do not fall into one of those categories please park in the side lot alongside in the K-Mart lot.

2) The large parking area on the K-Mart will be for all the car clubs and other forum groups. Please park and hang out.

The official TX2K12 hotel is Omni Houston Hotel Westside (same hotel as the last 3 years). It took a lot of work to get them to accept us back, but they were agreeable at the end of the day. The hotel is located approximately 25 minutes from Lonestar Motors Park and very close to the night meet location. It's off I-10 and is very accessible from the interstate.

Rates - SAME as last year
Wednesday (March 14) : $119
Thursday (March 15) : $119
Friday (March 16) : $99
Saturday (March 17) : $99
Sunday (March 18) : $99

Reservation Phone Number 1-800-THE-OMNI (1-800-843-6664) for reservations

NOTE: YOU MUST BOOK YOUR ROOM BY MARCH 5th OR YOU WILL NOT GET THE DISCOUNTED RATE LISTED ABOVE. THEIR NORMAL RATE IS $289/NIGHT!

Omni
13210 Katy Freeway
Houston, Texas 77079

Reservation Instructions

When you call to reserve, you MUST use the confirmation number

"TX2K12 Car Show"

and you must tell them it's for the Omni Houston Hotel Westside

Benefits
-Classy hotel
-Nice rooms
-Used to a "loud" crowd (they host a Harley Convention every year)
-Safe part of town
-Lots of parking for rigs/trailers --Covered parking garage
-Security onsite
-20 to 25 minutes from the track (Lonestar Motorsports Park)

You know the Supra is one of the few cars that really scare me when highly modified. Not light nervousness but genuine FEAR. It's an awesome car but I've seen people put down 800+whp on the stock suspension setup and skinny tires, most Supras I've been in have had no traction when the boost hits. I know a properly setup car will bite but there's just something about that car that scares me.....in a good way though it's a thrill no doubt

4th from the left gets the win for the physique, and sandy blonde with the lime green bikini gets the win for her face.....

I stand corrected

I would like to squeeze one more in, either the Texas Mile or this one, although I think this one could get nice and rowdy
