Local "club" my son & I are members of called "West Houston Muscle" -- which, believe it or not is a lot like Bv8 in that the name doesn't really represent what it is -- as West Houston Muscle caters to any/all cool cars from muscle cars to hot rods to odd balls like my MG -- and, there are no dues, just car shows, rod runs, & occasionally charity events -- well, they recently posted on their web site to post a pic of your ride for a chance @ tickets to the Grand Prix of Houston... so i posted a pic of Drew's Mustang and a few days later we found we were one of the 4 winners. Two tickets to the Friday activities... then, on Father's day, my wife gave me 3 tickets to Sunday! So, get to go with Drew on Friday & with both boys on Sunday.
Great Father's day present. Post some pictures
we want photos must have been fun to do that with your boys
Great fun with family Rob....must have videos!!!!!
The event is June 27-29; will take plenty of pics & video. The cool thing is the seats we have on Friday are in a different grandstand than the ones on Sunday so we'll get two different vantage points.
Had a great day with my son. Weather p predicted rain, but except about a 5 minute sprinkle, it held off all day....
Today was just practice, Sunday is the real races.
There were Mazda Spec Pro cars, Indy cars, MX5's, and "vintage" - but there was. 2012 Mustang on the track with the vintage cars.
