Karl, I think the main thing is getting someone out west to put something together. To date that has not happened. It takes local folks doing the leg work to make things happen and no one from left coast has picked up that ball to run with it.

If a major event is planned and promoted, I think you will see things start to happen......but we can't do it from the east.

I understand your frustration....but it's mis-directed to the forum, club and to those that have worked hard to make the events in the east what they are. And, just as there were 4 of you that traveled far to St Louis, you will have a few that will venture far from the east. The group effort just hasn't developed out that way for some reason.

Please understand, this is just my opinion on the way it has evolved.
