DFW...When/Where is the next meet?

I'll just throw Plano Tavern out as an idea of a place.

No clue about a date, but would have to be early-mid November before I would be available.

May as well start getting something in the works.

It's just called "Plano Tavern" - it's a restaurant in North Dallas, not a bar. All ages welcome.

I kind of liked the last spot or at least that area if nothing else... It seemed more central to everyone too. I was talking to someone and it was mentioned eating at one of the restaurants over in the same area since there are a few of them (maybe Humperdinks?) and then D&B on Walnut Hill and I-35 came up or maybe Speedzone afterward? They'd maybe be a little pricey if you play/drive for a long time but at least it would be entertaining for a while... any thoughts/suggestions?

I think he also meets with them on: third thursdays, second saturdays, and oh yeah first fridays too.

Oh, as far as speedzone goes...I'm pretty sure I remember being the king of the drift track...oh, and monkey got kicked off the track for, well, monkey business.

Why do you guys want to go to Speedzone and drive slow stuff?

Have you all ever been to Kellers? Off NW Highway about 2 miles East of 75.

Oh, it's unrelated to Speedzone, hence the new paragraph.

It's like a Sonic, but much bigger and older. On a nice evening, there will be tons of nice cars out there. We had a Contour SVT National meet there about 3 years ago...had like 60 cars there and still plenty of room for everyone else. It's all outdoors, nasty old waitresses, cheap beer, and greasy (read delicious) burgers. Bring a lawn chair, chill by the cars, and hang out.

Nasty is about right...and the old hot rod guys that like them. Like he said, the burgers are good. But yeah it is a long time car/chopper hangout. Place looks like it's made out of old barn parts...
