Fort Worth Meet (BJs), Bringing the 'F' to d-F-w-50s
 
Since the Dallas guys don't seem to want budge from their meets on the east part of town and it seems like we have several in the Fort Worth area that are looking for a closer meet, I know I am. So I wanted to make this an official meet for us.

We are looking to do this meet every Wednesday Night @ 7pm.
The first meetup will start this coming Wednesday night @ 7pm 1/29/14.

We are going to start out meeting at the BJs at the Alliance Shops off Heritage Trace Blvd. Right off of 35W, on the north bound side of 35W. You can see BJs from the highway.

Address:
BJ'S Restaurants Inc
9401 Sage Meadow Trail
Fort Worth, TX 76177

Depending on how well this meet does we will keep it here for now. If we have to end up moving offsite a bit due to turnout size that is fine. This particular area has a A LOT of parking so I think we will do pretty well in the infant stages.

Of course I have to mention. No burnouts, excessive engine revving, or jack ass behavior will be tolerated. This is a meet up with the mindset for us to get to know each other. Let us respect the local business as well so we can continue to meet.

Depending on how many people we have come out as well I may consider giving the restaurant manager a call to give them a heads up.

Can't wait to see yall there! I'll try to get there a tad early to secure some parking in the back of the lot facing the restaurant entrance.

We need an admin to add this to the weekly meet thread.

I am also open for any suggestions as well but it seems the general conciseness on the Facebook page agrees with this.

Its no wonder Dallas people would not attend these meets.
Tarrant county is a mess.
I live in Keller and work in Coppell. It takes me an hour to get home leaving the office at 5-5:15pm.
Then have to fight 377 or 820 afterwards..haha no thank you.

I'd love to make it out. I'm not far from there from my job but, I get off work at 4pm. I can maybe pull that if Frank doesn't mind me hanging around his shop for awhile lol.

Pretty much. It's a shame too because there is actually a lot to do over there, it's just not worth fighting all that traffic for it.

Besides, the best meet in DFW is here in north Dallas on Friday nights for over a decade in the same location. No other meet anywhere in Texas can make that claim. ;)

Same can be said for us trying to make the stuff on the east parts of town. The coit meet is 40-50 miles one way for most of us.

Dan12GT 01-24-2014 01:23 PM

Also if we have any folks more towards the central / east part of town this place is really easy to get to. 114 all the way to 35 and the meet is just about 5 miles south or branch off to 170 and its within a few miles.

There is no dealing with 820/377 unless you are coming up from the further south parts of Fort Worth. This meet is designed to be removed from some of the terrible traffic locations.

I think a good idea would be have a once a month meet on a Saturday night somewhere in the midcities.

Strokd has a friend who owns So Cal Taco shop in Grapevine that I'm sure would be happy to host a once a month GTG for us. I think Grapevine would be a good half way point for everyone and easy enough to get to.

DirtyD 01-24-2014 01:25 PM

Yeah, the traffic is the absolute killer part about it. 7 PM isn't a bad meeting time. Most of the traffic is died down.

That's fine you can start your own meet then once a month for something like that.

This meet is more tailored for the west of town folks really. Anybody is welcome to come too from any part of town; if they want to make the drive. I just know a lot of people's pain in coming out to meets from the Fort Worth area to the east parts of town.

This is by no means supposed to complete with Coit or something like that. This is just an opportunity for local members to meet each other and hang out.

I think so too. I've been out to this area several times since I've lived in this part of town and traffic is pretty decent at that time. We can always modify meeting times if we need to.

Tsk, tsk.

It was just a side idea to bring both sides of the metroplex together to fix your complaint about Dallas side not making it over there. Wasn't trying to intrude on your idea. Not like I've had any success building up a meet or anything. Carry on with your idea that 6 cars will show up to.. lol

Dominic Toretto 01-24-2014 01:32 PM

Grapevine is good spot as well.
