I'd like us to start getting our schedules together as much as possible so we can ensure that attendance will be as high as possible at our meets this year.
So far I see a couple of March/April threads on meets at dragstrips, but we really need to get things a bit more organized for those. Places that we'll meet at a given time so we can all get to the designated track area at the same time, driving directions, etc.
I know in March the big Lapeer meet should be still on. This one is organized by Ron Porter usually, though I don't see anything posted about it yet.
Ryan would like us to meet at Milan on opening day which is April 16th. See details in this thread.
I'm planning a huge bash for mid to late June...either the 18th or the 25th. Given that Carlisle will be June 3-5 I think the 25th for this one would probably be best. Thoughts on the date are appreciated. My plans entail either a meet at Norwalk followed by a BBQ and possibly a live band ~ OR ~ Meeting at Maumee Bay with a BBQ and possibly a live band.
Carlisle - June 34d through 5th. Details on this event can be read here.
SHO Club National Convention falls in July. Click here for info on that event.
In August since the weather should be nice and warm I'd like to organize another camp/drag or possibly just a camp with a tech session. Willieshome offered the use of his land as the camp ground the last time I saw him so we could possibly do something there in conjunction with doing some 60k work or something else in his garage.
(I don't remember if you volunteered your garage Willie....perhaps I just did that for you. 
)
In September I'd like us to meet here in Michigan at Dave & Busters in Utica, MI.
In October I think it would be cool to head out to the Cleveland area for some sort of event. Suggestions would be nice. There is usually a Lapeer meet at the end of October so we should probably keep that in mind as well. It is usually the last Saturday of the month.
In December our anual Christmas meet, possibly at the QS&L we met at between Maumee Bay and Cleveland.
Mini-meets in between those dates are always cool. I'd like us to have more tech sessions at Matt's house and at Ryan's house. They are very centrally located places for pretty much everyone and we always seem to have a good time. Both are great hosts.
Thoughts and suggestions are always appreciated. I've been asking for help for the last several years in getting help to coordinate events. So boys, now's the time for those of you who want to help to step up to the plate. Matt, Ryan and Jeff have offered their services and I think that they would be a good group to head up the Michigan clan. Anyone in Ohio who'd be interested in helping please speak up. (I know Perry will help, right Perry?)
The biggest thing about coordinating events is that we all work together so our group stays organized (not more than one meet on the same date) but still relaxed. It's a lot of work to organize an event, once you start you should commit yourself to see it through.
That's about it, let me know what you guys think.
