I'm not a Jerry Jones fan either, but having the event at Cowboys Stadium would 1) give us the ALL the space we could want, 2) bring in A TON of people if they knew the Cowboys were affiliated with it, and 3) possibly even have some players/high profile people come out themselves. You never know. It might work, it might not. As my Dad told me when I was younger, "You don't know until you ask."

Permission to use the park from the city, permits and having them attend in someway would go a long way with the public. We aren't a bunch of street racing punks causing chaos, but rather having a family oriented car show with other car people and the support of the police department to help some kids!

Trying to do anything with the Dallas Cowboys would be a waste of time, I think. They have companies all over the world constantly contacting them for charity events. I'm sure there would be a ton of red tape and our request would fall on some deaf ears for a first year car show.

i agree. if ryan wants to get some info and talk to the right people im down to have it there.

This will most likely happen, but like I said above, don't know until you're told no.

But Ryan is definitely the first choice to go through to start getting stuff take care of.

Plus, I'm sure there will be playground equipment at the park, so kids would be occupied there too

I haven't seen any either...doesn't mean there can't be ever.

The problem I've found in past experiences holding car shows, a lot of places will shy away from events like ours because of the liability issues. Some places will even require us to have our own liability insurance for the event which is very costly.

That's why a place like the city with a connection like Ryan, or one of our sponsors allowing us to use their parking lots are usually the most likely places events happen.

Let's try out the Richardson idea, if that doesn't work we will have it at BabyDolls next time.

im fine with the richardson idea

I think a Richardson public park will work just fine for our first event. No telling what the turnout will be, hell, right now we have an issue getting the group together on a regular basis and getting everyone to show up! lol.

We'll have to check on the weather on that one. Its suppose to get cold and rainy in the next week. That's also the same day as the DFWM Cruise for those of you thinking about going to the track for that event.

You and Jeff got your cars all nicely modded up just in time for the cold weather and the end of car show season! lol.

steve never wants to drive anywhere lol

Here is the thread I mentioned on SVTP. Just was able to find it again.

Haha, not true at all. I drive this car WAY more than I did my 93 Cobra. I've put 5k miles on this car in 6 months where it took me over 5 YEARS to do that on my 93! :favorites37:

I'll drive to where ever to support this boards functions. If it's in Arlington, I'll go, I'll bitch and moan about it, but I'll go. Hahaha. (arlington sucks big donkey cawk!)

I posted and added some experienced input. :)

I'll start sending some emails out when I go back to work next week. Not sure what kind of permit or red tape I will have to go through but I'm sure someone at the department will know the right people to talk to.
