Being a Northeast focused business, if you move it out of the NE then of course we are not interested.

Aside from that you make an excellent point in your post ... you flew to all those other events and that's where it gets lost. Car event you cannot drive your car to ... starting to lose me. How about some regional events? Maybe when the economy is tougher you go smaller and closer to the members? Where is the highest density of members? How many members have a 4 hour +/- drive from Thunderbolt, how about Lime Rock, Watkins, etc?

I know Lime Rock is hurting for biz... you could get them easy, but I guess no airport close enough for everyone to fly in.

I'm not a member, but I just had a lot of hope for the event to find a "home field" so to speak and watch it grow. I think that's how events gain momentum, you know when and where to plan for them each year and the familiarity is attractive.
