poll closes tomorrow? i can't find out by tomorrow. maybe monday, but not tomorrow. weekends are hard to schedule, especially this close.

trancemission

I edited the poll. 31st should be okay....

Silver Bullet

oops...my bad. Thanks Trance!

TheThirdMan

i vote for the 10th or 24th, I'm busy those other weekends

pimpin-tl

February 19th is Presidents day and a Holiday for some. The 17th would be the best time IMHO to have it! 3 day weekend!

L1StarTSX

Thank God...I was all mad that I was going to miss it, cause I wasnt driving through the hill country with that weather coming in. I will vote, but all those days are cool with me.

FADE

Dont care when, just hope the weather is nice. Sooner the better I guess.

trancemission

I agree

L1StarTSX

Very glad you guys didnt make the trip...the ice may not be the worst part, the weather people omitted the fact that it could flood....and it has. Half of Austin is under water in a lot of spots right now, along with many hill country low water crossings are closed. Not good for CAI driving today. If this stuff stays with all the standing water, when it freezes tomorrow night, we are screwed. Its still hovering around 40 but the main system that hit you guys up north is going to hit us tomorrow and thats when the fun starts.

el chile grande

The 17th sounds good, or the 24th. I guess we'll know by 2-1. I should have some goodies by then.

San-AnT

im still in austin with my CAI converted to SRI, sitting in south austin playing xbox360 with my bro. bored. go colts!

AustinLegend420

SHweeew, had to work today, also was sick and puking. i didnt think the meet would go down anyways.

I voted Feb 10th cause its my bday weekend, since my bday is the 9th! haha so i dunno, i would rather party. ill wait and see what other people vote for

salvataz

Although the 17th might be one of the easier weekends for people to plan for, it could be the worst weather-wise. I would imagine that weekend has the greatest chance of unsafe weather since I believe it is the closest one to the exact middle of winter. That being said, fronts and precipitation can't really be predicted this early.

17th for me. I'm going out of town on the 20th till the 25th to SoCal for a track event. Already got my plane ticket and days off from work.

Silver Bullet

Feb 4th is Superbowl so that weekend I know will be an issue for many.

FADE

The Game isnt on till late Sunday, we should all be home by the time it starts.
If the Saints are not in it I prob will not watch it anyway. Goux Saints!

Hockeyman

I voted for the 10th, but i could also make the 17th. 24th I can't do.

MarbleGT

....are you serious with that?

cltypeSLOW

i too am in the same boat.

Silver Bullet

oops...edited...posted in the wrong place.

Silver Bullet

I don't know about you but its a weekend long party, but definitely by Sunday I'm watching it on the big screen at home!

I'd like to see the Saints make it to the Superbowl and win it if they can!

salvataz

Uh, yeah I'm serious with that. If you didn't want this meet to get postponed again, you'd be voting to avoid the weather, too. I'm no weatherman, but the only clue we have to the weather right now is previous records, which indicate that it's colder toward the middle of winter.

pimpin-tl

It does not matter when you schedule it, you can never predict the weather that early. It does not matter when either.

17th is good for most it seems, so we will see how it turns out.

Silver Bullet

Cold is fine! Cars like cold air and when we are done we go inside for some warm or warming drinks! Cold also doesn't affect pics and videos.

cltypeSLOW

the only thing i am worried about is that there wont be as good of a turnout from the other forums like nsxprime, acuralegend, etc. since we canceled last time and had to reschedule. my reason being i dont see much posting going on in here by anymore than us regulars

Silver Bullet

Thats ok. We'll give it time and get the date finalized. I don't think that canceling an event due to extreme weather conditions will be a deterrent. We pushed it as far as we could until we were sure that the weather was not going to improve.

MarbleGT

Its up to us to promote this thing as much as possible after the date is finalized. We need to get into a bi-weekly schedule to recruit more cars. It may be wise to assign a couple of people to each forum to keep the thread updated so that it doesnt lose interest.

AustinLegend420

this sucked, i was looking forward to going. i was sick as a dog tho so it was bad. hope everyones not out driving on these roads!

Silver Bullet

Its looking like 2/17 so far.

What's everyone think that has voted on other dates?

Can someone post to the RSX and NSX threads and tell them it's looking like 2/17?

ojas

I passed it along to the NSX guys. I know at least one of the guys said he in if the date is Feb 10. He can't make the later dates.

Silver Bullet

Thank you! I hope they understand why we had to reschedule. Weather was not cooperating, and its been down hill since then.

ojas

Oh, I'm sure they do.

Yeah, it was nasty over the weekend. I could not even get my car out of the neighborhood until the ice melted Wednesday afternoon.

G

Ojas, do you have any pics of the new NSX?

pimpin-tl

I personally think the date needs to be set before the end of the month to give people time to schedule it and take off if needed. Also so we can start to concentrate on other things for this meet.

ojas

Grayson, man... how's it going!? Here are a few (click picture to see bigger version):



I can't wait for this crappy weather to end. I have not driven it in almost 2 weeks. I definitely need to check out your Viper next time I see you.

cltypeSLOW

cant wait to see that baby.

Teh Snaps
