The notion that this is a requirement is a relic from the SERCA days that needs to be buried. It doesn't apply with our current financial or lack of financial structure these days.

Rob's previous statement hits the nail on the head. Quality > quanity.

The other thing people our missing when they say "branch out" is, people other than SR enthusiasts don't give a rat's ass about an SR Sentra. To them it might as well be the K car club. What other solidly organized car club wants to hang out with a bunch of broke ass Sentra owners and watch them patch their axle back together in the hotel parking? The only organization that might fit in with that is Chumpcar/Lemons? Lets get real here...


Of course the convention can do that, but correct me if I'm wrong, the past few conventions we have gotten private tracks? Or was it we just got a 'group' rate for an open track day?

As far as I know, we've never shared the road course. It has been our private day each time. Am I right there?


(The Drag strip in 2012 was us just showing up on a normal test and tune night with the track knowing to expect us (loved that).
In 2013 it was going to be shared just the same as in 2012 but with the way things turned out with the weather, we ended up having it to ourselves.)

I have a feeling that in 2014 there will be a lot of cars faster than that. A lot of big turbo cars will be attending as well as some nasty NA cars.

Red B13 from Ohio has that covered!


hopefully the dragstrip in Ohio is prepped better than what Atlanta Dragway was.


Thought it was great, car straight hooked.

On another note. I've been to convention the past two years and only the past two years and I don't believe I will ever miss another one.

Guys we got this. As a key organizer I promise we will do what's in the best interest of the community.

2014 is going to be amazing! Trust me! I appreciate the feedback on how things should be.

Woohoo. Close to getting the NX back on the road. Hopefully I can drive my NX this time instead of my Jetta

Rob, don't take anything I've said as anything but off-topic banter directed at the would-be organizers and attendees years in the future. I have no doubt you will do what's best and don't need my input on the matter.

Alright fellas, lets all take a step back, breathe and move forward with the planning and car building.

'06 was a PDA event. I think technically, '12 was an open arrive and drive "fun day". I'm not sure if Lou/Rob cut a special deal with them to make it exclusive.
