Doesn't that picture make your mouth want to bite into some pizza!?
David (Tundragon) and I have set up a meet for Saturday, October 9th starting at 11:00am at Frank's Pizza located at 417 Travis @ Prairie in Houston, Texas. So be sure to clear your calendar for that Saturday!
Besides, being a great time of the year to hang outdoors in the parking lot, BSing, kicking tires and if there is anyone that chooses to stay indoors, it's not like we'd get kicked out...

Hey, how well do you know your ride?
We will be once again have the Texas Pole Tag Contest. In this event there is a mounted pole on a stand, the object is to get as close to the pole as possible in your ride without touching or knocking it over. Sound interesting?
When the driver is competing, on the sidelines BSing is permitted to distract the judgment of the driver. The guy that gets the closest to the pole by measurement is the winner of the Men's 2004 Texas Pole Tag Trophy.
Got your attention? Good, it gets even better....
The ladies then get their turn to play. Yep, ladies it is your turn to see what you can do in your ride or of your significant other's ride. The woman that gets the closest to the pole by measurement is the winner of the Women's 2004 Texas Pole Tag Trophy.
Oh we are not done yet, now the fun....
The winner of the Men's 2004 Texas Tag Pole and the winner of the Woman's 2004 Texas Tag Pole compete for the
Grand Champion 2004 Texas Pole Tag Trophy
To those that have attended the Frank's Meet, the pictures we have reflect the great time that is had by all at these meets. We hope to have an even greater turn out than our previous meets at Frank's Pizza and all of you will consider joining in, this includes our Sequoia, Tacoma, 4Runner and Highlander Riders too!
Please post if you will be able to attend and how many will be in your party. This is a family and friends participation event, all are welcome!
We hope you will consider joining us for a day of great food, drinks, fun and laughter!

Great to hear you'll be able to make the meet atrdnut!
We know this meet is planned well in advance, but it gives people time to clear their calendars. By doing this, we have always generated a larger group at the meet.
We'll be looking forward to meeting you.

Would love to make it, but that is a big Scouting weekend for me. Y'all have fun now, ya hear.
I have been practicing for that Texas Pole Tag. My wife's 03 Sequoia is parked in front of me in the driveway when I get home at night, and I get within a couple of inches pretty easily . If I didn't have to worry about where to live, I bet I could get real close! She just wouldn't see it as a battle scar, you know? LOL

A BIG THANKS to Dan and Kathy for putting this meet together.
Count me in FOR SURE. Its been WAAAAAY to long since we all got together. As Sally said earlier, sure would be nice to get more trucks for this than we had for the Lone Star Bash a few years ago.
Maybe the Austin and San Antonio people that are going can meet up somewhere along the way and drive in together. It looks like the Austin people will take 290 into Houston, while the SA people will take 10. Maybe we can even meet on Loop 610 in Houston.
