To anyone that didn't make the meet last night (read this even if you did)
We talked about a couple things that I wanted to get some more input on from the group:
Moving the Tuesday meet
We talked about it last month too, but it looks like we're gonna get the shaft each time and get crammed into the small room. Plus I'm thinking people are tired of BBQ
Someone mentioned Rosa's in Flower Mound. Someone else mentioned Fuddruckers in Grapevine.
If you know of a place that either has a patio or a room or an area we can use for the meet that would be swell. We prefer a place that has counter ordering (like Fuddruckers, BBQ, Taco Cabana, Rosas, etc.) because it's less of a headache than dealing with waitresses.
Get the info to me or post it or call them and see if they'd want 15-25 cars coming in and supporting their business.
North Monthly Meets
We're doing the Coffee and Cars meet on 5/30 (see the thread/schedule thread). This may be the home for the North meet (although it's early on a Saturday morning). I think more likely we'll get something planned for the first weekend of the month in Frisco/Plano/McKinney/Lewisville area. We'll see how the Coffee and Cars meet goes.
Don Herring Parts Discount
I picked up some parts from Don Herring and the NTEC discount was significant. If you need OEM parts, make sure you talk to them first. You can email Dan @ Don Herring: dann@donherring.com if you prefer to do it that way (or you can stop in or call).
Aftermarket Parts from Evolution Dynamics
Now Evolution Dynamics can order parts as well as put them on for you! Talk to Lauren (the prettier part of Evolution Dynamics) at evodynamics@gmail.com about what you need and she'll see if she can order it for you.
Evolution Dynamics Open House
Tentatively scheduled for June some time. Keep your eyes open, but if Kevin keeps having 8+ cars at the shop we may never see this
CHL class
6-7 people expressed interest. I'm tracking down the info of the guy my business partner used and I'll try and get something scheduled.
Track Day at ECR
I'm trying to organize another track day in early October (trying to work around other motorsports schedules and Krisiun's wedding plans). Feel free to organize something before that if you want

I think we should still find a place in Irving area. This more central for everyone that is showing up. I will try and look around this weekend and see if I can find a few places that have a big parking lot and counter ordering.

I was brainstorming about this the other night. Now I know I'm never there cause I'm in Houston, but would it be a good idea to maybe have about 4 resturants that we rotate. Maybe for two months we go to Spring Creek, then the next two months go to Firehouse subs, then the next two months go to Rosa's, then the next two months go to Fuddruckers, then repeat the cycle all over again. Just an idea. But I know the hard part will be for everyone to decide on the three other places other than Spring Creek. That way, you guys never get tired of eating the same type of food.
Also, I have been researching buffet type places in the Irving area, the only thing I really get is Chinese food buffets (I'm sure there is more, but I just did a quick search). Not knowing how sensitive NTEC stomachs are, that could be a suggestion.

How do you prove you're an NTEC member? You have or have owned an Evo. Just ask for the discount. But you really should come out to a meet some time!
Don said the discount is 15%. Maybe it depends on the part. Just ask if you're looking. It can't hurt!
