Re: So.....
Mike,
If you had only one meet, and it was once again in Lafayette, how many do you think would show now?
At the 10th Anniversary, we had just 76 SVXs show. For the 20th, that's 2300-2300 miles from the West Coast (in cars that have aged another 10 years)
From the East Coast it could be as much as 1200 miles.
It would be nice for the newer members to experience what we did at the Tenth, but the magic of that first major get-together to the wide-eyed newbies can never be repeated.
I still think two locations are necessary. Maybe the west coast contingent can pick their site. Somehow, climbing 5300 ft. into the Rockies and aging head gaskets don't mix well.
To prove a point, how many East Coast members don't come to Reading because it's too far?
