We could host a car show here at the university of Texas at San Antonio, and use any donations etc. to pay for the rest of my college expenses... and some new tires to slap on my new fiske wheels!

For anyone interested, we have an informal group of Corvette guys who get together every other tuesday in the mid cities area of DFW. Next week on Nov. 6th we are meetng at the Hardway Classic Cars museum in Haltom City. See www.hardwayclassiccars.com for location.
It's a lot of fun to just talk car stuff and Corvettes!!

Start a yearly Corvette Track Day at the new Circuit of the Americas in Austin.

Well, Im not sure of the logistics just yet but, I suggest that we have some sort of cruise and "donation" style event. Each driver could be compensated (to a charity) x amount of $/mile. We could get each region involved and drive coast to coast stopping in a selected town along the way to raise donations and bring awareness of the corvette passion. It would also raise interest in members joining clubs. (you choose your driving distance). I think with the devistation that our felow North region has just encountered the proceeds should be donated to this "rebuilding effort". Red Cross, etc....

Maybe have the event start in San Diego and end in NYC. This could just be a leisurely drive not a race.

How about a "race day" at Texas Motor Speedway. We could get together with Eddie Gossage and come up with a combined charity.
We could probably have a good sized party on the infield.

I know in the past you could get your picture taken in your ride coming
in front of the Texas Motor Speedway logo, that would be something cool everyone could do that had the itch.

The location isn't as important to me, what is would be the reason to meet.

I lost a cousin to a terrible motorcycle accident in 2009, but from the loss of his life came life for others. Chad donated organs and saved the lives of many people. He donated his heart, liver and kidneys so four special people could live happy, healthy, productive lives with their family and friends. A corvette rally with a specific purpose, like raising awareness for Donate 4 Life, or Susan G. Komen, would not only be a great time for the Vette enthusiast, but also give the opportunity to spread the word on not only diseases and fights people take up every day, but the hope for cures.

They live in Katy Texas today, but travel all over to raise awareness for Donate 4 Life.

I am sure this idea already exists somewhere, but I am glad just to voice my opinion.

Lots of great suggestions here!

How about an Autocross series at different locations throughout Central Texas? Pick 3 or 4 venues scattered around the area.

A long weekend hot rod cruise starting in a major city like Houston/Dallas/San ant/austin leaving out at say 12 so long distance guys can get into town would be great. Then a day drive out into hill country with a nice hotel and a small town where we take over the city would be awesome. I'd like the wheels too :0

How about a cruise into the Hill country from San Antonio followed by a dyno day at Lethal Performance?

I know a lot of vette owners who are also sportmen. Most have grown up shooting shotguns. I think a great idea would be to have a vette owners sporting clays tournament or multiple tournaments in different locations. There are many ranges between Dallas and San Antonio who could handle an event like this. Maybe % of procedes from entry fees go to a deserving charity. You get the best of many worlds. Meet great people, have some fun, see some great cars, and help some people in need at the same time.

Always for supporting the veterans so if we could arrange a cruise for the troops or something in support of the Wounded Warrior Project is always a good thing. Fort Hood and the surrounding VA Hospitals would be a great starting point and then extend out through hill country.

There is an event called Laps for Charity. It's like $35 to run your car around Texas Motor Speedway. I did it with my Charger group and had a blast. It's not all out, but you can get in a pretty fast group and they will let you play in short spurts. I ran 131 in one stretch .

I think they do it twice a year and all we would need to do is sign up as a group and show up about an hour before our time to muster.

Not sure if this is exactly where to post for Houston but I do need some wheels.

How about a large Corvette show at Aeros & Autos in Houston @ Ellington Airport.

I happen to know the guys who do the show (me +) and would dedicate an area to Vettes if someone wanted to do something special.

Biff Buzby's in Live Oak (San Antonio) has a weekly Friday car show. $5 entry and they give you $5 towards food credit. Lots of nice cars, live music and fun. We can reserve an entire section for Corvettes only.

I'm in southern New Mexico and I think some type of Corvette "show and eat" in El Paso or Las Crucas would be great. I don't know what else to call it but basically we take over the parking lot of a restaurant in the evening, eat and hang out with each other and the cars. I think that'd be cool.

And yeah, I agree with the other posters that the southwest region is huge!

Haven't read all the posts, but how about a function where brand new corvette owners could meet veterans to learn more about their cars. I am taking delivery at the museum next week and know that I have a lot to learn...so how about a " take us under your wing" event?

The Texas Motor Speedway has Friday Night Drags on Friday nights. It would be awesome to have it overrun with Corvettes. We could setup a show area and then crush all the rice burners in race area.
I would also be curious to see if we could host an event where there is an admission fee that goes towards actually renting out the speedway for a day or weekend. It could be an event with food, parts, and appearance vendors setup and possibly a section for kids to enjoy. That way the entire family could come out and enjoy Vette Day at the Speedway!

Don't forget the Coast. Throw in a run form all over the state to the "Corvettes on the LEX" that takes place in September of next year.

How about for those In the Houston area meet up at The Space Center. I know a few good spots where we could have everyone take pictures of their Vette with the Space Shuttle and and other Rockets in the background. Kinda play off the Corvette American Rocket's commercial.
