i would love to go, but i'm taking a tour of bob smith coachworks in gainesville on saturday (with Z club of TX), which means work sunday.
i have found that DFW is a tough market for any kind of organized activity, ranging from university-student to professional organizations, or for trade activity (buying/selling). DFW has a mindset all its own.
for example, once i discovered there was such a thing as nsxprime (about 6 months AFTER i bought my X (that's right, i said "X")), it took me over a year to find out IF there were any organized DFW NSX activities, and the response i got was less than welcoming. something about we want to be careful who we tell about our meetings so we can be sure the right kinds of people are showing up.
at NSteXpo in april, i was the only dallasite to show up, and at NSXPO, i was the only texan (ironically, i was unable to attend NSXPO 2002, right here in our own back yard, so i can certainly understand the difficulty of attending such an event.). we (DFW) had a very pleasant drive day over memorial day weekend, and the people i met were quite friendly, so maybe i just got hold of the wrong person initially. susan and her crew treat me like a king every time i show up at goodson's, but the "other" DFW acura dealerships have never seemed overly burdened by an obligation to customer service.
also, i suspect that lots of people (like me) have to work 6 & 7 days a week, so our free time is quite limited. especially for small-business owners, which DFW is known for.
all that to say: if you're expecting a great outpouring of enthusiasm from DFW-ites (regardless of the type of activity--not NSX-specific), you might be disappointed. i emphasize, it's not specific to DFW NSX'ers. the Z club of TX had a proportionally disappointing turnout for a recent track day at hallet (in case you're wondering at the continuous references to ZCOT, my friend is the club president. their activities are also planned enough in advance so that i can plan to participate, and they welcome the chance to whoop ass on an NSX anyhow. yeah, like that would ever happen!).
so, don't flame me, go to the events. i'd go this weekend if i could, but i planned this weekend's tour about 3 months ago. i'm also available to help plan events, so don't think i'm just sitting on the sidelines cussing the ref.
Sorry out of the subject but if my car get done might be able to make it to the meet.
