It isn't rocket science that standing in a parking lot of a hotel does nothing to attract potential buyers for the car. It is perfectly fine early on to get a cohesive club started but with maybe 5k on the road and less than 2k in even #2 shape reality just needs to set in for quite a few here.

You're always welcome to come to a real car show where you can share your experiences with car people who just need a nudge to get past the neg press on the SVX. There's a killer autox course on site too. To me its a no brainer since no one is even willing to step up and do the hard work needed to make a meet happen the past few years.
You make some good points, Ben - BTW, where is the real car show / autocross you mentioned?

And very true - I have found over the years that most aren't willing to work to make a good meet happen - it's always a few dedicated people that do all the work ....
