The schedule is more for me than anything else. I am going to find out what there is interest in and try to get group discounts. If you are not interested in doing something then you of course are not going to be tossed in the boot of the car and drug along haha.
As for eating check out my second post on the first page. I listed a few restaurants in Reno, Virginia City, Sparks, Carson and Tahoe. These of course are just my suggestions for the area.
I did mention an M. Dixie Boat ride at Tahoe and that is one of the things I will be asking about interest in as we can get really good rates the larger the group.
Another one I am going to test interest in is the Harrah's Car Museum as we get better rates as a group. Everything else pretty much (other than maybe a dinner together and some time to check out each others cars) is up to the individual.
I figure drives for those that want to participate will start around 9:30-10AM. Give us enough time to get to a half way point, take a break and eat then drive to our separate destinations as there is much to see and I am sure everyone will want to see and do something different.
And if you just want a good steak I can give you more than a few suggestions. I just never really order steak when I am out and about because I like my own too much haha.

I know this is a group gettogether but there are lots of quick things in VC at least that my wife and I want to check out/visit/walk through/etc.. These may work best in smaller bunches rather than a large group.
What kinds of things besides route drives can be done by larger groups in the area? Im sure there is probably some kind of boat tour on the lake that can be arranged?
What about meals? Lunches will probably be a picnic type, or grab and go affair, but what about dinners? I tend to be a spur of the moment type of eater so pre-planning usually doesnt work out with me, but I am usually up for joining the rest of the group as long as I can find a menu item that interests me (steak is always a good fallback meal served pretty much everywhere so im usually good pretty much anywhere). Breakfasts will probably be hotel affair.
What time of day do we want to start things up? I love sleep so before 8-9 am makes me grumpy. It is a vacation too after all.
Im not against planning the day out over breakfast, as long as it doesnt take forever and we have a good chunk of options of places to choose from.
One last thought. Long days filled with just sitting in the car tends to make me irritable and can give my wife pretty bad migraines. Basically a nice couple hour drive coupled with plenty of walk-around sightseeing time is a great idea. Plenty of picture stops is great as well. I know the gathering is about our cars but, i drive mine every day so i would rather focus a bit more on the people and only a little less on the cars.
Just my $.02. Take it for what its worth.
