Why don't the West Coast people put together a "Turbopalooza" or "Cecil" like event and have a great time getting all the local (and others) involved and make those events successful. If and after that event is proven, then a national event can be discussed. (basically then just scaled up) There would be no argument to if it could be done at a reasonable cost that way. You say it would work? Prove it.

I see this as a win-win event. Even if you don't get enough interested to justify a full national event, you still have a sweet event to have annually like the OVC and DV Chapters have.

I agree with fleck. Many different clubs on the east coast have started their own mini SDAC, like cecil in november, Turbopalooza,Or even like we started here in new england, TD/SRT-4 day in june. I would think Vegas would be a perfect place to start,as the shelby plant there would see the progress of development.Who knows,maybe even they would get involved (sponsorship,parts,etc)
All in all, its a win-win, and maybe even turn into a future location for SDAC!!

A great alternative to your suggestion, is that if a west coast event could be held somewhere near the LA area, possibly folks with contacts with Shelby could arrange for us to have a group tour of Carroll's private collection of cars that is in LA. I am told it numbers over 100 cars and some of them are very impressive or pieces of racing history. All of his SD cars are included in that collection.

The only thing Vegas really has going strong for it is the alternative activities. But that aspect of our event should not be played too strongly as we usually keep folks busy enough that most folks need to add a couple days to their vacation if they really want to see the local attractions.

Good points. I've been involved with a couple of activities at Shelby's facility in Gardena. Here's a pic of one of my cars in front of the building during a reunion event.

hmm... well I stand correected. I forgot that the #1 cars were stored out here in Socal and I sure didn't know about the Vegas facility fiasco. Looks like I have some catching up to do..lol. Thanks for the info Barry!

We could do Memphis! My wife and I have already planned to do some kind of event for anyone passing through on the way to the next SDAC, assuming it's on the way. We have a good piece of land where we can have a mini show.

You are always more than welcome to come through central IL to break up your drive.

If Vegas is the spot for a SDAC event my wife will not allow me to go to those "alternative activities" Barry.

I just wanted to let everyone know right now that I will be at SDAC 18 no matter where it is. If I tell anyone anything different please e-slap me. Also I'll be 21. I can finally go to a show and enjoy parking lot festivities like everyone else.

See you in Detroit?

When you make your
reservation you will be asked what style pillow you prefer,
foam or feather?

Wow, never been given an option like that, even in Vegas. As the kids say,

BALLIN'!

Guess it's time to pay off that credit card.

[contraption22]

Sounds like a great hotel especially for the price.

[neonkitten63]

Room is booked already! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I did it online and it was super easy!

[slasky]

[2.216VTurbo]

I just booked, in the comment box I requested that the mini bar in my room be restocked twice daily I wonder if they actually read those comments...

[BadAssPerformance]

^^^ LOL, thats a good idea.

[slasky]

Alan you should have asked if they could get you new tires for your rental car each day.

Went to a Detroit Pistons game and stopped by the hotel (About 7-8 miles from the Palace) and it is a very nice hotel…going to have to were my best t-shirt. Lots of space and restaurants nearby. Definitely a top notch location. Also saw my first new Challenger in the “wild”. Black SE on Opdyk road near the Chrysler complex, almost drove of the road!!!…Dan

[Bubba]

I'm booked.

I am closing this thread as there are too many "I'll be at SDAC-18" threads or threads where folks are looking for info.

For the latest info we have available please read this thread.
http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=23376

The above linked thread will be the only place we release dates, hotel, sites, schedule, etc info.

The thread in the main SDAC forum titled "The OFFICIAL ...." will be left open for general discussion.

Please do no start other SDAC-18 threads.

As we get closer to the event (late May early June we may start a "caravan" or "room with" thread).

Thanks,

Barry
