[urq] Pike's Pike GTG

Scott, I can go back thru emails to the Colorado contingent and post the offers to help from afar - both years. ?
I was never pulled into the loop so I was happy as attend on a participant level, simple as that.



I have expressed nothing but praise for the UrQ25 event and the efforts of it's organizers




When this years event was slated as a 100 year celebration of the Marque I realized that I probably couldn't be of much help as Im not interested in celebrating Audi's 100 year birthday. ?The event was being moved to another level and seemed to be well staffed, with a Director of Marketing and all...




The hopes of seeing a bunch of UrQ's on, near, or around Pikes Peak definitely had me interested in the event, Audi's involvement or celebration did nothing for me personally.


What you refer to as 'paragraph 4 below' ?seems to be emphasized to reflect me, however it reflects everyone that has planned their summer around this event. ?I have a local UrQ buddy here in Vegas that bagged an annual family vacation to the UK in lieu of the Pikes Peak gathering. ?That means the wife and 5 y/o son gave up their one chance a year to see family for the sake of her husbands crazy obsession with these cars. ?I haven't nearly as much on the table as some, but nobody appreciates being kept in the dark.




The other negative aspect of this event being pimped on such a grand scale is that it kept other regional UrQ events from being planned.
