Hey, Hey! Wait a minute. I'm ready to drive 12 hours back and forth as
I've done to go to Paul's S-Fest but Elkhart Lake is 15 hours from home!
Remember, S-Fest was NE for a reason. If we plan something in the middle
of the United States, I don't think we'll have a lot of listers from
either shore and you'll certainly loose all canadians - OK, there was
only one, but as this only one is the one speaking, this only one is
very important ;-)

South Heaven is a bit better, 11h from home, but it's still a bit far
for NE listers.

I think Paul's idea of regional S-Fest was the best and there should be
SE, NW, SW, NCentral, SCentral S-Fests too but keep our NE S-Fest in NE.
Pleaaaaase, so I can keep having fun!

Well, yes, Gingerman is a great central location, but if we are going to
do
that, why not shoot for Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin (only
3-4
hours away)!!!!! AWSOME track!!!! And, VERY centrally located. Any
Badger Quattro guys here???

Anyways, that is my favorite track and if we did an event there, I'd be
all
over it!!! ;^)

So, what do you say to 4.5 mile track through beautiful wooded areas,
lots
of safe runoff and gravel traps, and elevation... Also, there is some
great
hotel accomodations for events, etc... The Osthoff is VERY nice. The
town
there is basically a summertime resort town. Very quant. What do you
think???

I'd love to have everyone up here in the beautiful Northwest, but our
selection of tracks sucks and we are no where near centrally located. I
vote for Wisconsin!

Later,
