The meet was still going at 10 tonight at Bone Daddys. After that they went to lewisville people will be there to 1 or 2 am

For the night workers.... they do Cars and Coffee for people that like to have the early meets.

Very big turn out.

I work 9 hours and get off at 6 AM, so the off days are the only option.

Sounds like a schedule conflict to me.
There is the Sat track day/meet up in Denton this weekend. Go race at North Star and hang at Mr. Frosties afterward.

In comparison to other cities I've lived in, it's been my experience that the majority of people in DFW don't tend to want to drive very far to attend a meet or cruise, and a minor 7 mile difference will keep people away.

Very true. Suggest a 100 mile cruise and they are like I bought my car to drive. I don't like to go too far on a weeknight though.
