You should consider changing the venue every year like the NSXPO, might get a nice variety of people going and some regulars. I'd go if it was on the East coast within a 10hr drive.

If we did that, then the people on the west coast wouldn't be willing to drive even further. It's in the middle of the US, you can't get much more fair than that.

Yeah is the venue is less than a 10 hr drive from east coast then it will be a 30 hour drive from the west coast.... Kansas is a very central location....~20 hours from either coast....~8 hours from north and south....

phee i know a local dyno guy....i can see if he can let us dyno for cheap....i bet a lotta people want to know how much their cars put down and dont have access to a dyno...doing this we will have a dyno and for cheap....

let me know how much do local shops there do a dyno for and will have this guy do it for wayyy cheaper....

Steve...do you forsee any problems with that ? I dont know if his dyno machine is built into a shop or is a portable one (excuse the terminology guys) but if its on a truck or some we can have it at Jay Wolfe or else we (interested people) can drive upto his shop (like 5-10 miles away)

I think a mid-west meet is the most fair, unless there was a West coast and East coast meet. Probably could get other Acura dealers (larger ones) to do such a thing.. just a thought. Though i'm still very much planning on driving the 1400 miles to this one, just like to get some more stuff on my car so its not so damn stock looking.. haha
