National Meet Location

[HOT RAM]

Not sure how far St.Louis is,but Dallas is only about 1,250 miles from me.Two days easy driving or 20 hrs straight. Just hope it is a cool time of year.I hate summer sweaty,sticky,humid=miserable

Now that is really "Centerally Located" isn't.

Perfect For Me:rock:

I think most members are willing to drive up to around 1000 miles or so. Where are most members located? 2 meets would definitely benefit the most people, & have a central meet every 2-3 yrs in place of "divisonal" meets. I live in central Wi, but drivin 1500 miles is not a big deal, unless gas goes to 5.00 or more!!

Perhaps Joe Donovan of PBJ could do a dyno day if the event were held in Saint Louis? Also, maybe Justin could have something going on to showcase his products? I know quite a few of us have his stuff on our trucks, it would be a nice way to show them off

Silverback, I initially marked Denver as my choice but would be able to make St Louis also, probably a 12 or so hour drive. I think it would be fun for several of us members from Denver area(including Dave T(Badvenm) who is almost a Denver resident) to convoy across I-70 to St. Louis.

I made this suggestion in the other thread. If you want centrally located with a Vegas feel with lots of lodging, restaurants, shows and things to do other than sit around and look at one another. Drum roll please...........

You're welcome.

I'd love to see UDLUZ and StanSRT10 join us if this goes down. Stan and UDLUZ both have forced induction beauties.

I like Branson. It has some major traffic issues but no more than Vegas. Lots of things to do, kinda mid USA. That would be a bit further for the east coasters though.

Okay, got a few questions for those suggesting Branson.

Does it have the following?

Dyno facilities?
Drag Strip?
One of our Vendors located close by?
At least a couple members in the area that can help to organize the meet?

I have never been to Branson myself, so I do not know the answers to the above questions. These were however some of the things I looked at when I made the list in the poll.

 

[flchub]

Same thing for me, but it would need to be on the east coast.I would have to be able to drive to the event.Would not be the same flying in.

fl guys could drive up together,i made it to houston from west palm in 13 hrs,just dont ask my avg speed

I haven't found any Dyno places yet but I'm still looking.
Ozark International Raceway is about an hour North. http://www.ozarkdragstrip.com/
Have no idea about vendors or folks in that area.

When you said GTG, I didn't take into consideration the racing and tuning aspect. I was looking a logistics and ability for a place to handle a group our size in hotels and restaurants. Also looked a such diversions as entertainment for when we get tired of talking trucks and something for the womens and kids to do. I figured, make it a vacation getaway as much as a GTG. Again, this idea was for a major centrally located family type GTG. If y'all are leaning more toward a test and tune type GTG you probably want to find places that have the dyno and track. Decisions, decisions......

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Sure... Downside is the GTG isnt gonna be very fun with 1500 members and only my truck hanging out aroung my house.:dontknow:

 

[Silverback]

So, are we done with this part of the discussion?

 

[Dave T(BADVENM)]

What time of year were you thinking about?

 

[FATJACK]

Denver is gorgeous, but Bandimere Raceway is the MILE HIGH Dragway, our trucks will run at least a half second slower there, couldn't compare notes from any other sea level dragstrip.
