For those that want their trucks to be there, but don't feel like driving them: Reliable Auto Transport.

I think it's about $1,000 to ship a car one way from NY to LA. Round trip for half the distance should be about the same.

Not a bad idea,It would cost that much in gas if they have it in NEBRASKA!!!:D

Here is a thought that people can toss around for a bit.

The Austin Mini Cooper group has a East/West meet every year, and about every 5 to 8 years they will organize a full national meet.

We could do the same, and start off with East/West meets, get things organized and maybe pickup additional members and such over a couple years and then 3 to 5 years down the line have a national event.

Toss it around here and lets see what people think.

Now I'm just throwing this out for people to think about.

Same place vs. rotating the location.

If it's the same place every year, the same local members will always be responsible for sponsering and organizing the event. May not be much fun for them.

Also some may get tired of the same old, same old.

Now on the plus side, it will not take as much effort to organize as you have the prior years to build from.

A different location every year means we will share the responsibility of organizing the event.

Every year will be new and different.

The location choosen this year may not be convient for some members to travel to, but the next year will work for them. This allows more members to participate.

aint it great??!! and just think...summer officially started yesterday..:rock:
 
Good points Mr. Hall..I guess after thinking about it a rolling venue makes sense..
I just dont like that whole east coast/west coast thing..there would be some who would attend both, but more often than not you would get the same groups at each one..

Its once a year....how can you get bored :dontknow: Perhaps after 8-10 years and nothing new is added.

There is value add in keeping the same or at least some of the same planners each year to improve the event from the prior year.

Each year you are going to have core members come but there will always be new faces. There is always something that comes up and impacts your priorities and ability to attend an event. So , it wouldnt surprise me that some people come every other year.

Lets not debate the rotating location issue until it becomes a problem. There are enough challenges already in coordinating the event, without spending endless cycles on choosing new locations each time.

Ya he's right it could turn into & yearly thing and theres nothing to say that the location cant change every year. That way we get to see & do new things each year, wont get old that way. We could call it the tity bar annual hahha

I'm also into the Taurus SHO's, since '96, and we've been doing that exact thing, diff. place every year, for 16 of the past 17 w/atleast 2 more still planned and it works great. A group discounted rate on a host hotel 4 day deal w/plenty of activities like Road course, drags, judged car show, drives, banquet dinner w/door prices and charity auction (of donated parts/mods, cleaning products, shirts, etc.) tech sessions, etc. and of course plenty of late night parking lot b.s sessions. Havn't made the SHO's for 8 years now and we still have around 100 every year. A good chunk of them include the whole family and/or wives or girlfriends, some are even the girl into the SHO's and the boyfriend/husband is the one along for the ride. all have fun.
I'd def be interested in an SRT one, can be a ton of fun if organized right, unfortunately I'm not the one that has been doing all the great organizing of these events over the past yrs.and it is a ton of work, so I wouldn't be much help for more than general ideas/format type things for the big picture(how it's worked for SHOClub gtg's).

Exactly! Some plan their entire vacation around things like this and do other things on the way to/from and a diff. local each year allows them to do/see diff. things/places each year.

St. Louis would be very central so would Kansas City.

But this is way out there...how about Sturgus, South Dakota...for sure they enjoy having wild people visit...just a thought...what a great ride for everyone!
