Some good thoughts. Yep, KISS. My event: Friday poker run, saturday autocross, sunday london (SCCA has a real problem with Fridays). No organized evening events. People like to hang around the hotel and bond (party) so lets leave it there. Even accross a baseball diamond, while a big improvement, was to far for many. They want to be at the hotels. Although if some one shows up with a huge smoker/grill at the hotel I would not complain. I did post a thread last year with links to central Ohio activities and places of interest for those who where interested. So basically only three events to plan (still TONS of work). Keep the registration fee. Lots and lots of little costs associated with this. If we want more money for a charity, take one of the donated cars, advertise it nationally and there you have it. I like the roving charity idea. Put out a poll with the top picks, let people vote and there you have it. I like the vendors..... as participants, not sponsors, but part of the family (which they are). No need to try and do to much. We are all just happy to get together.
