Park on the extreme south side of the parking lot away from the building. We have not used this lot before. However, it's always wide open with few cars. Still due to not using this lot in the past we will have a back-up parking lot just in case.
Back-up Meet Location: Macy's parking lot @ 11200 Broadway St. (FM 518) #950 Pearland, TX 77584 (Pearland Town Center). This is only incase we get kicked out of the Medical Plaza.

So according to the cruise gear we need a walkie talkie And an hpd t shirt. Will these be available the day of the event or do we need to get these ahead of time? Also does this run cost anything to register? Sorry guys for the questions but I'm new to this!

- It's highly encourage to have a 2 way walkie. It simply keeps you posted on what is happening during the cruise. Also it helps me know what is going on in the rear behind me. Ricers, unsafe driving, pissed off Soccer Moms, or Old Men in Suburbans....then I can deal with it. Plus it never hurts to call out the law if they're camping it up.
- HPD T-Shirts...If you have them wear them. I will have some with me on the cruise if you want one. $10 each. They are NOT required. Look for a black C6 Z06 w/ #44 on the doors and rear.
- This is a FREE cruise, just make sure to have your $2 for the toll bridge (NO EZ TAG), and drink/lunch $ for The Spot.
- Make sure you know the meet locations and times.

ATTENTION! WARNING!! DANGER!!!
After careful review of the weather, we are pushing the fun run to SUNDAY NOVEMBER 25th! We are fully aware that THANKSGIVING will be on the Thursday before the Sunday cruise. We know you maybe out of town, or have family in town. We are hoping family will be sent packing before the cruise time so you can have a little fun before getting back to work on Monday. Also there is no Texans game that weekend. Also because it is one week before the big MD Anderson Toy Drive at Houston Coffee and Cars. We may turn it into a fun run toy drive and collect toys has we go. We know we are going to have some folks drop off the roster, maybe not. Maybe we'll gain some folks. Either way please take yourself off the roster or add yourself. We hope the new date has better weather and works for you.
NOVEMBER 25th IS THE NEW DATE!!!
NOTE! Ferrari Fest is going on in Highland Village alternative to rush to do something car related before the really bad weather hits.
