A friend of mine is the GM for Bone Daddy's at Spring Valley and 75.
I could talk to him and get a section of the establishment reserved for Vettes. The parking lot is also big enough to support our cars plus the normal traffic. They no longer have an outside section.
A Saturday night in August would be doable.

There is already an abundance of GTG's held at the local Hooters(so many, I avoid them)..there was one in Denton just this last weekend, well...25 or so cars met up in Grapevine and then a bunch of us ran up to Denton for the Car Show in Denton @ Hooters. If you are looking for a BIG turnout then you need something that will draw out the regulars of the normal GTG's...I've been to all of them that I'm aware of, and each has some people that really just want to pop out every once in a while. You have the normal Friday night group over in Arlington (Sergants), the Newer group of North Dallas/Frisco/ FlowerMound/Lewisville (Life's a Beach) area that meets on Tuesdays in FlowerMound...You have the Euless/Hurst/Bedford group that meets over in Hurst on Wednesdays(Rosas)...There is already a group that meets on Sundays out in the Murphy/Plano/Sachse/Garland area(Amados Mexican Cantina)...If all you are doing is trying to form a 'new' GTG for you and your group its going to have to pull off the 'regulars' at these already established GTG's...are you looking to start a 'new group' or find a group thats close to you? We already have NUMEROUS area Corvette Clubs..we have the Road Runners(smaller), the Lone Star Corvette Club(BIG), the Blue Thunder group(Large), There is a big group that tries to make alot of the GTG's out of Wichita Falls area...there is the the Cowtown Corvettes, oh GAWD..I'm going to **** someone off here and forget a group and that DON'T mean they are not a GREAT group..just that off hand I forgot them....
If you're looking to form some kinda "Day" Event then talk to Gray Fox....she is the activities director for this area and she will LOVE to see you take some of the weight off her...Remember, if you organize a run you'll have those that want to Scream along, those that want to POKE along, those that can't find the place...those that get there late, and those that will bitch because it's 'too far' TRUST ME on this...you will displease SOMEONE regardless of what you come up with, you just have to pick a date and come up with something and if it's good the Corvettes will show up....What kinda 'event' thing you wanting to put together? Ohhh Yes, I've got a C4, a C5 and a C3 so make sure we all get credit for ideas...hehehehe!! (Just kidding)
The 'Events' type GTG's are really what a lot of the guys/gals are wanting...you'll see where the things like the organized runs to places like Stephenville will draw out 25-50 cars...the Events like the LG Motorsports Dyno Runs and BBQ drew out a large turnout...The Lone Stat Corvette Classic was just 2 months ago and drew out literally THOUSANDS of Corvettes from all over the United States. The Annual DFW picnic is coming up...held in Arlington to be centrally located it draws a biggg turnout yearly....The Eureka Springs yearly GTG ((FUNNNN!))..I KNOW there is a Group down in the Red Oak/Lancaster area thats trying to get a 'regular' group meeting going down in south Dallas...there are PLENTY of things going on, you just have to pick an event and then remember to show up for it. Weather will kill your event FAST unless you draw a beautiful day..some will not even look under the car cover if there is a raindrop within say,.....200 miles? About that...

Let's do Bone Daddy's on a Sat night or Sunday. Let's not complicate things as this started with a get together of 10 to 15 cars locally.
Let's pick a weekend in August and that is that.

How about we chip in and rent Motorsports Ranch in Fort Worth for a day so everyone can run on the road course. I am a member there and would be happy to set it up if you guys are interested. I will bring my Duntov Lightweight out and give rides as well. Email is edward@duntovmotors.com

Is this just a meet and greet over a meal? AC54ME lives over in that area and he has a SWEEEET ride, drop him a line or a PM and he'll know a lot of guys/gals to ask out to the event so you'll have a big turnout. Good Luck you guys, hope you have a good turnout!

When a confirmed date and time is set a PM should be sent to GrayFox so she can post it in the What's going on in DFW? section
