[DeTomaso] 2009 Fun Rally Location "say NO to Sandy EggO"

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

I have no say in anything so it is ok for me to say this.

The Fun Rally needs to be in Cleveland in 2009. Ford is closing there Engine
Plant hear. The "Cleveland" is the heart of our cats. I am sure they will
let us use the plant and give us motors as door prizes. The people at the
Rock Hall are nice too and should give us there place to hold a car show.
Then if you plan it right and hold it around the time the Cleveland Grand
Prix is held I am sure the Indy boys and girls will let us use the track.

It's now time for me to take my meds....

Larry (burp) - Cleveland

How important is the track event to the Convention?
 
Does it make money or lose?
 
The track in Reno IS NOT close to Reno, no closer than the track in LV.  The
only time the track was close is when it was at LV Speedway.
 
 
Alternative:  Hold the Convention in Willows, CA. and run Thunderhill!
Cheap rooms on off-weekends.
 
 
Has anyone completed a survey of what is important to the Convention
attendee?  Track, shows, bar, runs, food and etc.
 
Michael
