Club Hot Rod Get Together

[IC2]

Also have to consider highway as well as airport access. Some will drive a vehicle, then others may choose to fly in to the area. For instance, if a group get together was held near me - ya just can't seem to get here from there on a plane without a change (or two) somewhere

Here is a suggestion based upon observation.....everyone is "voting" for a meeting that is close to their home base (at least within a couple of hundred miles). Holding a get-together in New York will be great for the Northeast guys but impossible for the Southwest folks and vice versa. In these times, it will be tough for most to shell out several thousand dead presidents for a weekend trip....momma aint gonna approve.

Taking a cue from the large car organizations (like the Early Ford V8 Club), it might be more prudent to hold a series of REGIONAL get-togethers so there is a meet that is reasonable for everyone to attend. The logical solution is to piggyback onto the GoodGuys events (or the NSRA events or both). That way, IF only one or two persons showed up, they wouldnt spend the weekend bored...they could look at hot rods. Then, if there proved sufficient participation, a NATIONAL event could be coordinated and held in some later year. So, the first year would be regional meets held at the same time as some hot rod event.....this is similar to the SEMA show....several of us email and touch base at the show.

Well, heck, if California is on the table there's always the Cruisin for a Cure event September 28, 2012 http://www.cruisinforacure.com/ There's 3400 cars and you get a free prostate exam to boot! Blood test or digital probe....your choice!

West Coast travel is outside of my pocketbook and time constraints, so will bow out of further discussion if that's the way it is swinging

Don't give up yet, Dave, I think it's still swinging all over the place....

Hey, we could have it in Coal City. I could make it that far. There's a new Toco Bell going up for entertainment.

It does look like it'll be easier for there to be different GTG's through out the US. I'd love to come out to CA so I could visit my bro one last time before he gets out in under 2 years. Once he's out, I don't have any real reason to go there.

Yeah, but I'll be wore out by the time I get there pushing my 40 across the country. Haha

from Randys in New Lenox go west on I80, south on I55 to Il113, go west to McDonalds, turn left and go south to the big yellow house on the right side----------

How about you guys checking some sample air fares from where ever you are to travel to some various main airports around the country? the prices vary so much that it might be as econmoical to fly all the way across country as part way!!!!!!!!!!! then possibly some locals in the area selected could help arrange some mass (rented van?) transit to the track and other local stuff??????????maybe group bookings at hotels??? Or---if Ob will loan me AF1 I'll fly around and pick you up and Marine 1,2,3,4,5 can ferry us to the track?????????
