TFT idea sounds great.
If I can remember they do have a drop off for Toys for Tots in the Arlington Highlands. However, like you said... parking is absolute CRAP there. I have to circle around for 15 minutes just to find a single spot, and when I do it's usually an "iffy" spot next to a banger. I usually end up parking in one of the handicap spots behind Red Robin since there is hardly anyone on that side of the building and can't be seen.
Edit: We would have to do it early if we planned to stick around that area and get parking for one of the food joints. There is a back area of the lot near Bone Daddy's / Red Robin that is one of the last to fill up -- if we were to do it a little earlier in the day (after lunch rush, before dinner rush), I think it would be safe to say there would be parking, depending on how many planned to show up.
Red Neck Heaven isn't very far from there -- I haven't been to the new one yet so I'm not sure how the parking is there.
i just checked the toys for tots website and they dont have drop off locations yet. i know almost yearly they have a drop off at the Highlands shopping center in arlington.... so here is what i am thinking. meet somewhere up north, possibly bone daddy since large parking lot, do a short cruise down 360 to 20 drop the toys off. that BD down there is always crowded and crap parking lot, so maybe cruise back up 360 to redneck heaven off 360 since it is HUGE with a big parking lot...... what yall think. thinkin mid december, must bring a toy and preferably g's and z's only...no hot rodding or show boating on the cruise
verdict, you may be able to help with this some since you live in that area....if anyone else has any suggestions let me know

Charity event at ECR is December 14th, not the 7th.
I stand corrected. I was going off of what was posted on dfwautocross.com website. I didn't check the actual ECR site.
I don't think we should discriminate based on cars. The main reason we hold meets is to hang out with other enthusiasts, imo. You can ask the participants who don't have a Z/G to stay toward the end of the group of photography purposes, though. Then again, I'm not the one putting the cruise together so it's really up to whoever sets it up.

i ran into an old biker buddy today and he told me about a cruise on dec 14, wanted to see if you would be interested or if we should plan our own....
essentially they are leaving from 3 places, and the cars part of it is leaving from gas monkey bar at 1 with a police escort to Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie. it would require a child gift and a $10 donation per car. let me know what yall think

I will have already spent my charity money on the ECR toy run on Dec. 7th...for the track day. You should do that with us Travis....$50 bucks, an unwrapped toy, and two non-perishable food items.
You will have so much seat time for the $50 bucks ! Totally worth it.
