Well the West Coast has warmer weather year round and multiple SAAC events year round.
The (north) east coast hasn't seen a SAAC convention in 7 years. It would make sense to focus the event where you have most of your members. But go figure...
The pretend racers (the "Real men") I suppose have no problem traveling wherever the SAAC event is anywhere in the country traveling thousands of miles if need be to show off their Real men, manly, he-man track skills to all the non real men show and shine types. After all the pretend racers are REAL men so location and distance to travel to show off their super human skills should make little difference. Wow! can wait to see them super open track heros at SAAC.
Us show and shine types are just grateful that we don't have to travel as far this year to show and shine and carry all that Detail cleaner, micro fiber towels, tire shine etc.. such a long distance. Whew! Thank you GOD!
