I am coming home to Fort Worth in Mid-August for 10 days and want to attend a meet. Lets get something together folks! I already have 2 potential meet sites. My first choice is Sunray Tint on Denton Hwy near Keller. The other options include a couple of parks in the area.


Who is down? I am awaiting confirmation to see if we can use Sunray Tint (I know the owners, Butch and Sue McCollum), if so, we just need to set a date!

Here is the official, set in stone, time and place:

SATURDAY, AUG 18, 2012

Sunray Custom Tint and Graphics.
1495 S. Main Street, Suite 103
Keller, TX 76248
817-337-4500

Show time is noon, End time is around 4pm (according to Sunray, its whenever we feel like leavin' :LOL: ), Saturday, 18 August 2012. A HUGE thanks to Butch and Sue McCollum for allowing us to use their venue, and giving us a spectacular deal on some tint!

1. Tarrant County Sheriff's Department will have 2 deputies present. THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL CONSUMED AT THIS MEET. This is for my safety, your safety, and the safety of the resident's of Tarrant County.

2. All pets are welcome, however they will need to be kept on a leash at all times or in the bed of your truck.

3. All children are welcome, however they will be tethered to a truck bed, or on a leash. :LOL: In all seriousness folks, Family members and kids are welcome to come as well. (If bringing small children please dont allow them to "play" with someones vehicle or dog without their permission).

4. Play your music as loud as you want, but please keep it clean as their may be children present. If you have to question whether or not its ok, it probably isnt.

5. No Racing, exhibition of speed, burnouts, donuts, etc...Many of these trucks cost $40,000+...We don't want any accidents, or people getting hurt. Use your head and all will be well. If you wouldn't do it in a neighborhood, don't do it here. Revving of the Hemi's is acceptable...purging of the nitrous however, is not.

6. Anything you bring in, you take out with you or use the dumpsters that are provided (trash only..no vehicle parts allowed).

7. Tint Prices are non-negotiable. They are already discounted 15%, and I got that for everyone...please be respectful and don't haggle with Butch and/or Sue.

8. Please do your best to support our sponsor, Sunray Custom Tint and Graphics. They are not asking for any money from us, and they are giving us a killer tint deal. If you do not want tint, please do not feel obligated. But please do spread the word about Sunray Custom Tint to your friends, if you would like some business cards to hand out to your buddies, let myself, Butch or Sue know and we will grab you some.

9. Space is sort of limited, so please, 1 vehicle, 1 parking space. Do not double park your Ram. Keep it between the lines.

10. If any of these rules are violated, you will either be asked to leave the property, be escorted off the property by the fuzz, or the event will be shut down and everyone will have to leave. Please do not be that guy.

Lastly, if there is an accident involving another vehicle, a theft, or any unfortunate circumstances such as these, that Sunray Custom Tint can not be held liable for damages. We all understand these things can happen, please handle them amongst yourselves accordingly.

My little brother (F-150 owner) wanted to know if he was welcome.

I told him only if he promises to keep his Ford in an adjacent lot on a leash. :LOL:

For giggles, I looked at Renting Texas Motorplex Dragway, or Texas Motor Speedway for an afternoon. The Dragway wanted $5,000. TMS wanted $38,000 for 4 hours. O_O.

Thats like $1,000 a truck. :p

Just found out some new info...At Texas Motorplex (1/4 mile drag track) on the 17th, there is an event called Fast Friday's. In an effort to curb the street racing problem in the Metroplex, The counties all band together to fund this track. Every Friday night, it costs $10 to watch the drags and $15 to race your vehicle.

http://texasmotorplex.com/events/fast-fridays/

There is an event ont he evening of the 17th...anyone interested in linking up with me there, watching the drags and then we could all meet the others the next day.

BIGLUI, are you coming to Ennis for the track night? If so I will meet you in the parking area with a big sign by my truck! It will say RamFest 2012 on it. Truck is in my sig, the only addition is a Tonneau cover.
 
#44 ·
Damn I'm off the forum for 2 days and this thing blows up!!

Friday night at the drags sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Is there any place we could possibly get to wash our trucks before te meet?? The CA-TX drive will make snow white look less than perfect.


Is there any sand/dunes/fields we could go 4x4ing in after or anything?

If the tint shop can cut decals maybe we can have a generic "RamFest" decal cut in w/e color while we're there. I just took all the decals off of my truck cuz one started peeling on me, but wouldn't mind throwing new ones back on
 
#45 ·
Sunray will be able to do whatever we want. Decals could be sold as little as $10 a piece. I will ask Butch for details on that.

Jordan, If need be there is a car wash not far from the meet. I can show you where it is if you are still planning on meeting me in Flagstaff.

Im pretty stoked for this meet and its freaking months away!!



I jst told Josh this in a PM so i figure I can put it here too. I will have both my big Nikons with me and we can go out and shoot up a bunch of pictures as well. If someone would be willing to let me hang out the side/back of their truck we can get some amazing rolling shots as well (think of what it would look like to be laying about tow hitch level looking up at a ram coming at you with headlights on lookin like its gonna run you down!!)

Sunray will be able to do whatever we want. Decals could be sold as little as $10 a piece. I will ask Butch for details on that.
That would be cool! Even if you dont put it on your truck, it would be a cool tool box sticker/momento! I have a few stickers I would want made/remade while we were there as well If not another layer of tint laid over what I already have

Jordan, If need be there is a car wash not far from the meet. I can show you where it is if you are still planning on meeting me in Flagstaff
I will be meeting you in AZ simply because I will be taking 40 out anyway. It would stupid to not meet you there and ride in with you. I will be by myself and with my luck if I dont meet you something will happen to me and Ill be stranded in the middle of the AZ desert sweating my ass off!!

but ya a car wash of some kind will be nice. Im going to hit the truck with a few layers of zaino and tape the front end before we leave, but having a dirty truck in a group of people really gets to me so ill have to wash it... and I only trust myself with it so Im gonna need somewhere :D

I will be in the parking lot with a Giant Posterboard leaned against my truck bed. I will hold it up whenever I see a Ram enter the lot. I will stand out there till 530pm, then I am going in!
No sign needed my friend.

I have 5,000 watts and three 15" subs in the back of my truck. Everyone that comes listen for what sounds like the world is falling and come to that noise. I have a CB/PA as well, so we can shout over a loud speaker!!

#51 ·
At the track too, we could definately run against each other at TMX (Texas MotorPlex). :D

Jordan, sounds great man! Responding to your PM, Time now.
 
#53 ·
Have you thought about a decent motel around the area for people that are coming from out of town and want to stay over Friday and/or Sat night and go home on Sunday. Sometimes they will give you a pretty good rate if you can block about half a dozen rooms or so?????????? Just ask'n------
Jay
 
#54 ·
I have, unfortunately its too far out to make those kinds of plans, and they all want money up front anyway from me (the organizer).

The motels in the area are pretty cheap. What you want to do is stay on the north side of 820 north loop, inside the loop (haltom city area) is a slum. Any Hotel/motel on or near the following streets is close enough to the meet and within a reasonable neighborhood:

Western Center/Mid-Cities Blvd
Rufe Snow Dr (north of loop 820)
Hwy 377 (denton hwy-again, north of loop 820)
North Beach St.
Jacksboro Hwy-199


Area's too look for hotels/motels:

-Keller
-Watauga (hit or miss, on mid-cities blvd Watauga is borderline not ok)
-Lake Worth
-North Richland Hills
-Saginaw
-Eagle Mountain Lake


Places to stay away from

-Anything near DFW airport ($$$$)
-Anything in downtown Fort Worth ($$$$)
-Haltom City near loop 820 (not the best neighborhood)
-River Oaks (not the best neighborhood)


Pretty much as long as you stay right at or just north of North Loop 820, you will be fine. Can we put you on the list Jay?

If we come up we will probably end up somewhere over on the north side(close to Main and Exchange). Somehow we always manage to end up there, no matter what we come that way to do--LOL. Was just checking to see if anything was near where your going to have the g2g in case we wanted to break our old habit.
Thanks,
Jay
