For the past several years, I've attended one of the largest import car gatherings, the TX2K12 meeting. On Friday 3/16 a very large gathering of cars will arrive in Katy, TX. Usually, there is a live band, some incredible exotic cars, and Bikini contest.

It would be great if several other Datsun owners could attend.

I'm guessing he even wants some of the cars

Sounds like fun! Here's hoping for good weather.

I am surprised that no one has commented on the sexist nature of the Bikini contest...

hey, don't mess with Texas!

The shop that did my paintwork wants to show my car at this event. I wonder what the wife will say...

I guess it depends on how good you look in a bikini...

As a belated recap of the night's festivities....

I arrived at the show about an hour early and by 7PM, almost all of the Parking spots (500+) were already filled! Supras, GTRs, Lambos, Vipers, Classics, a jet powered motorcycle, you name it. One of the sponsors of the show had an extra spot (reserved for a no-show Mondello), so James got to park in a primo spot at front of the show. All night people were photographing and posing with James' '69 2000.

From the Datsun crew, there was My 65 1500, James' 69 2000, Luis's 70 510 and a white 280z.

Now, this traditionally is a very large meet.

But this year had absolutely unreal numbers of attendees. There were multiple 1000s of people. I heard people were parking 1/4 mile away and walking to the show because it was so packed. The meet featured DJs, a live band, beer and food. I spent a good portion of the night chatting at the front of the meet, away from some of the more crowded sections of the event.

Unfortunately, between the race fuel fumes, beer and overwhelming crowds the meet was closed down just before 11PM. Almost like a scene out of Fast & Furious! A Mustang did a monster burnout (within feet of hundreds of people) directly in front of the police.

Game over......

Thanks for the update Dan. Despite the chaos the meet was SUPERB! So many nice cars and a lot of cool motorheads to talk to. I owe Dan a huge thanks for helping me get a reserved spot right up front. I bet if I had put a for sale sign on my car I could have sold it for a cool million

Look, if you are going to post vids from the event, why not a video of the bikini contest?

You can easily find the videos of the bikini contest if you google TX2K12

Jessica Barton was the winner btw...

no roadster pics
I couldn't listen to the video, but I'm pretty sure they were chanting
USA!
USA!
USA!

Jessica Barton also owns a 1000+hp Supra as well.

Not only does she own a 1165RWHP Supra, it was also the winner for most HP at the event, beating the "Mullet" supercharged, TT Ford.
