Edit:

Geographic average worldwide is near Richmond.
Geographic average for US members is near St. Louis.

So if we did this meet, we would all have to drive to St Loius?

this would be my drive

Distance: 1,748 mi (about 1 day 5 hours)

Anyone live less than 8 hours from here?

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

The problem with this that it is the average of everyone. Not those who would go. What we really need to know is how far people would drive. Create a radius around each person's location and see where they intersect. Then see where the most intersects are.

Looking at the google map, the highest concentration is in the east and mid to northeast at that.

i was thinking that, for those over seas, if they would like to come, they fly to someones house *who ever accepts them* and that person picks them up in the airport, and then they go together to location, and the person who flew in can chip in for gas.

Crackin' idea!

Just a thought- how about columbus ohio? Ohio is an 8 hour drive for 50% of the US population ( I know that does not reflect this board) and it is between Mid-Ohio Raceway and the Hocking Hills. (awesome place to drive). If we coordinated with bimmer95's dent and dyno fest, we could have at least a 2 day event. Maybe that's too much, but I'd really want a special event (a drive, track day, instructors, dyno, etc) to mak ethe trip. Not that I wouldn't mind tossing back a few beers wit yall, but personal time is hard to get. That goes for anywhere the meet would be, not just cuz Cbus is sorta local.

Wherever we go, we need huge hotel discounts. And we should talk to supervisor and be like *HEY WTF, WE GETTING LIKE 40 ROOMS HERE, GIVE US A DISC. OR GET LIKE 10 SWEETS AND EVERYONE CHIPS IN*

we need to plan this out, thast why i said next year, so we have more than enough time. After we can raise some hondas and kill em.

I can already imagine a line of 40 Ti's and ppl being clueless. Then seeing that each car has different license plates.
