I agree, it is all about these cars and the people who drive them.

I realize that membership in CICCI is heavily skewed to the eastern half of the US, but how are we out west ever going to be "part" of all these events, including CAA if everything takes place in the east.

It appears that there are an inordinant number of events in the east and I am not insinuating that it is any kind of plot. But maybe we should all look at the possibility of looking to see if there aren't more things happening in all parts of the country.

We will NEVER grow participation from the west if we don't try to involve some of the people who live there.

Wedge and I were the only two from California with Tburris and Tighed1 joining us from Arizona to drive to the first CAA in St Louis. It was a LONG trip for us Wedge was close to 5000 miles round trip (I was at 4500).

Is the NC event built around Tail of the Dragon or in addition to?

Does your suggestion mean that in 2012 there will be no major get togethers in the east to encourage people to travel to Denver for CAA? I can't help but think that one of the reasons many didn't show up in St Louis was the abundance of other events back east.

Understand I am not attacking anyone here, just frustrated. I know ALL of us from out west that came to CAA in St Louis had a great time and really loved the opportunity to meet so many "forum names" face to face.

Looking forward to the opportunity when we can all get together yet again.
