I think a meet would be great! We are so spread out though, it'd be tough. I know that on ClubGP the regional forums (sw, se, ne, etc.) are often arranging small meets for like a three/four state area, but to be completely honest I really have no interest in meeting the type of people that frequent clubgp, from what I've seen go on at that site. Well T-bat, you've got someone to second your idea... let's see if we can manage to work something out.

I would go, no doubt I would go. I do agree it would be a tough challenge because we are spread out so much.
Our cars, up to '02, were built in Kansas City. From '03 and up, they are built in Canada.

Well, it's done then. We'll meet in Canada... HA! Anyway, I'd definately consider coming down. It would be nice actually if I could order some parts and send the to someones house down in the states, meet by there and install them there. - That alone would almost pay for the trip in savings.
Perhaps someone could do a geographic survey of all interested and find out what we need to deal with in terms of a common meeting place. (Someone more familiar with the States) Then people could figure out how far they would have to go.

Now if only I could talk the squadron into hauling my car for me. Actually I don't think I'd wanna haul my car on the plane. Not very many places to put tie down chains. I'd have to put enough chains on it to restrain it for 3gs of decelerating force.

With enough planning and advance notice this thing could come together quite well. And besides, most hotels and exhibits offer group discounts, we'd just have to confirm who could go and where and when and what to do... head spinning from the thought of all that planning

Any memeber from Kansas? Maybe we could meet near the Kansas Nascar Track? Maybe they have an event like the one in Texas? Just an idea I thought I would throw out there.....?

Sounds awesome. Hhmmm, where to meet???
BTW, there's a nice race track in the Chicago area. It's next to a horse track just in case you feel 'lucky'.
