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

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.

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!

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'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.

My old car club back when I had my first car, a Honda, used to meet at Papa's BBQ on the first Sunday of every month. Pretty good BBQ and lots of parking space. They don't mind car meets as long as you give them some business.

Yup, cool place, decent food and centrally located. We had a few meets there years ago too.

Richardson is too long a drive for me
