Just had a wild thought-we should have a 2002 FAQ gathering

[Cruzr]

I've already mapped it! It's 1,450 miles for me, roughly 24 hrs. It's doable. I'll take a week off from work!

Hey I drag my Lola on a trailer if she is not ready by then, especially if Paul Cain brings his "Monster02" .

1676.31 from essentially the coast of Washington to there. I'd be in....

Bill: I didn't mean to "bag the local events" in a negative way....it just takes a whole lot of effort (as you & I know) organizing an event, so I was thinking that those with the experience to organize an event could consider assisting with one huge central event instead of their own for one year....

As an alternate, if nothing else, maybe we could focus on "two separate 2002FAQ events", on each side of the country...and shoot for at least 250 to 300 cars each. That may be more practical from a travel time standpoint.

For the east coast Spartanburg, SC is a no brainer...that would be a great place to gather...Yes, 02-02-02 was great...and we should do it again!

Let's think on it more over the Holidays....seriously!

Happy '02ing (stay ahead of the salt trucks!!!)

The VinV is my vote for an east coast venue. Scott does a nice job and there are already 70+ cars that attend that one.

02-02-02 was spectacular. If i remember, the 2002se (SouthEast) group had a large hand in it, but I dont think they're around anymore. Anyone remember Adam and Minsoo, the 2 guys with the orange roundies in the center of the field? I think they had a bit to do with it.

I'd totally be up for another event like that, provided the driving distance from Atlanta wasn't in the bajillions.

Somewhere like colorado, would be perfect. Middle of the country, beutiful scenery, and lots of nice twisty mountain roads.

And everyone with carbs messing around the whole time!

Does V @ V have enough space for 250-300 cars? From what I've seen that might get a bit cramped. Of course I haven't been there, so I'm not a good judge.

get that beast on the road!

German carfest will probably be June 9th at rice park in downtown St Paul. There's usually a nice group of us old-timers (cars, not people!).

I'm for the whole deal...any '02er who knows me knows I'll be at any event I can time permitting...Distance isn't that big a deal. But, realistically for the desired level of attendance this thing needs to be planned for well in advance because many events for '07 are already heavily planned and paid for. For example in 2007 I'll be at "Der Krewe of '02" Shreveport, LA Mardis Gras, I'll be at Mid-America Fest near home here in AR. I'll be at V@V in NC, Windy City Vintage Day in IL, and I'll be at Watkins Glen in NY.

Seems like kansas or one of the central stares would be the best idea. colorado is a tad far for the east coasters. If its within 20 hours of driving - I'm in.

[Jim_75Sahara]

Ditto your thoughts, Skip. I like all of the events, but I can't do them all. It's a great dilemna to have.... TOO many events, TOO many 02's! So, keep brainstorming guys, no complaints here.

[SteveJ]

This should be planned WELL in advance just to give all of us the opportunity to clear our calander for the event.

That would be a hoot to have it smack-dab in Kansas. There should be no complaints then about who had to travel further.

Woodstock????

Well, as Country Joe said, "Give me and F!",

then it would be give me an A followed by a Q.
