I'd like to step up to organize another WCR for this next year. We have a really great venue that has lots of parking and private bars. Even a movie theater!

Cary's shop is nearby, there's 's lots of twist roads and we are in Oregon wine country. Making it a more spouse/ significant other friendly option. Because buy in is the key! Was looking at trying to organize a car transport for those that don't want to marathon it, A fly in get your car at the airport, fly out and it's dropped back off.
The wife and a few others are ready and willing to put this together, just wanted to float it out there.

Not sure that is really a relevant comparison Andrew. C&C is a 3-4 hour event, usually within 15 miles of the participants home. It costs only gas money. By the way, I hold a C&C event in Sonoma at my shop every Second Sunday. So that was today.
I can go to C&C events and Yopu hardly notices I left. On occasion, she'll text me and ask where I went. "Oh! Get me a flat white!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Between the trailer rental. The hotel, our entries, the gas and the food that wasn't provided, I spent well over $1000 last weekend. 914 guys are notoriously cheap. Just look at the snarkiness when someone puts their car up for sale at what it's currently worth. OMG! I just don't see guys going to two different events in a single summer. We hadn't made it to Mammoth Scenic Drive on our way home before Yopu was on about a real vacation next. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I just don't think adding an event is a good idea. People don't go to events for a number of reasons. I wouldn't want to go North of Portland. Just don't want to drive that far. But I will drive to Southern California. Both my wife and I have relatives there. They've remarkably improved traffic there. There are lots of things to do. But if I went to either, I'm unlikely to do both.

I might Range further and more often after I retire but for now, more events take family time. I like my family time.
