This is just for curiosity's sake. If there was a giant 2GNT meet in one of these areas, at which area would you be most likely to actually make it. Fly or drive, it doesn't matter. Assume you've got more than a couple months' notice and that we don't actually have anything planned at this time.

(But I will mention that 2008 marks the official 10th Anniversary of 2GNT.com.)

If you've got a better idea, post up. Thanks.

I hear new jersey's a nice place for meets

I voted Texas because it would be an excuse to check out the area for possible future living

Who am I kidding I probably wouldn't be able to make it

I say Vegas or SoCal. If you can't have fun in either of those places, you don't deserve to live.

One vote for Texas as well. I remember the Saturday night parties on 6th street in Austin..

I voted chicago, its really the only place i could go.

Thank you mobil one for rust proofing my driveway.

I could do Indy, Chi-town, or St. Louie.. really most places in the midwest. I would be willing to make it a trip to So-Cal, but I'd have to get help with the airfare or a hookup from my dear old friend John =) haha. I'd love to do it tho! I've been here a long time as well, and it would be awesome to meet the rest of these crazy guys/ and girls!

I would love to go to Vegas or SoCal, also Texas would be nice, but St.Louis would be the most practical for me.

Im here in Texas, The Supra's do a little gig through Texas. They meet in DFW drive/trailer down to Houston and do some dyno runs. then they drive/trailer to Austin to a drag strip and then somewhere else to road race. They do make a week of it. But then agian thats why we got the shootout.

Vegas would been nice also..., I just gotta finish putting the engine in the car...

I would say Texas or St.Louis would be the most practical for me. I doubt I would make the so-cal or vegas meet even though I would love to.

- 98 Eclipse rs turbo

Hawaii I can make it then

We will build you bigger and stronger


Wake up and drive my ass... More like wake up and fix it.

If the opposite of Pro is Con
then the opposite of Progress is Congress

For the best turnout, probably it would be best for everyone to meet in Norwalk at the shootout.

It's not like we won't have the time when we are there, since we arrive friday and only race 1/2 of the day on sunday.

Also, lots of people have been there already, they know how to get there, it's a familiar setting, and we have more than one reason/excuse to go out to the event (Shootout AND meeting) since most people would probably be able to afford (in terms of money and time) to go to one long distance event per year.

I can understand being excited at holding a meeting in someone's backyard, or where we have the greatest concentration of members, and/or a more central location, but at Norwalk makes the most sense to me.

I think giving people TWO reasons to make the trip (Shootout AND meeting) will make turnout much higher. and, if it rains we still have a meeting

Some good points, Todd. Just thinking about different options we might have. A room in Norwalk during the Shootout runs about $400. It's also at least an hour from a major airport, so I'm just mulling over different ideas to see if we couldn't come up with something that cost less and was easier to get to.

For example, on weekends in some major cities, it's not hard to get a hotel for under $60/night because the business traffic dies down. That's a savings of around $200 right there, and if people can fly right into town, someone can more than likely run over and pick them up really quick without too much trouble.

So it's just a thought. Looks like a split between Texas and Chicago for now...

I vote for somewhere in the midwest, Central to the entire USA, Chicago, STL, KC somewhere like that so everyone could possibly make it and have about the same drive/flight time.

Ok, first off, isnt the whole part of a meet to BRING your car? Why fly? Second, St. Louis or Kansas City would be best since they are the most centralized places to meet for EVERYONE. I gaurantee that there is no way i can make it to Norwalk, or up to Michigan, or all the way out to Cali. I could possibly do Texas, but that still leaves a lot of people driving REALLY,REALLY, far.

There's a race at the SO????

Greg

'19 Genesis G70 3.3t AWD
'88 Chrysler Conquest TSI

I think Texas would be the best for a as it's about as even of a drive there between either coast.
20.5hrs via San diego to Houston vs 21hrs via Norfolk, VA
17hrs 40mins via Miami, FL
35hrs 18mins via Seattle, WA
27hrs via Albany, NY
Seattle and Albany being the only ones being the furthest away.


for the biggest 2GNT meet I'd rather drive than fly if I have the choice. Just my 2 cents.
