I think given the west coast numbers, 1 out of 3 years on the East Coast
would be a great solution.
If so, would those in a position to make this happen, entertain the idea
on a serious level?
I would be more than happy to facilitate Savannah ( two racetracks ),
Atlanta ( Road Atlanta )
Nashville ( three racetracks ) or the NC/TV Mtns ( Summer Summit location
area ( Like Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg )
Savannah is more than capable of being a perfect host city.
and it is nearly perfectly centered on I-95 between Miami and NYC.
12,000 hotel rooms, lots to do.

totally understood. All of us would like the rally in our back yards but
that's not reality. Like was suggested, most of the cars are on the west
coast so it only makes sense to lean towards that area. Maybe every third
year
we could meet more in the mid west/east area???????????

Michael, what I suggested several months back was to keep it in
Reno/Phoenix, except every 3rd (or 4th/5th) year have it in a different
state - for
obvious reasons.
Does anyone know how many Panteras are in each state? Surely CA/WA/OR
have close to half????? Common sense should prevail here.
And, then I suggested every so often, have the rally in a different
country. I mean this is the 21st centrury America - people pay $10 for a
cup of
coffee. They can save and splurge every so often to travel. (We were
signed up to go to the LeMans this summer - health reasons, we did not go)
