[Dave]

A little early, I know. Just curious if there's any word or rumor where the next will be held.

Wouldnt you like to know. HA!


Actually I dont know either!

[GLHS592]

I've heard it will be in San Diego.

[contraption22]

I heard Anchorage, Alaska mid February. And we are having a joint event with the AMC Eagle Owners Club, so we can kick their asses at ice racing.

I'm sooo there dude!

[turbovanman²]

I can do San Diego,

I heard Vegas...

Of course it didn't come from Barry or anyone connected with SDAC, but it almost makes sense. Even if the amount of vehicals in attendance are down some, the bodies count would likely go up How hard is it to talk the GF/wife/significant other into a veags trip ?

What if they all want to go?

[sdac guy]

We have a loaction (general area) that is being looked into by local members.

We will go back to our "normal" schedule of starting the weekend after Father's Day, which makes it start on June 23, 2007 (90% sure on that).

As we did in the past, members will get first notice via online boards and the newsletter. After that we will make a public announcement, probably around March.

All possible sites mentioned so far have been removed from our "short list". Sorry.

Give us a hint, sheesh,

Any further than San Diego, I am out so I guess it doesn't really matter for me,

[BadAssPerformance]

Give us a hint, sheesh,

Not Topeka .... never in the same spot consecutive years

[BIGBRUDDA]

I say we have it in Isenbergs fancy-schmany new garage

[Marcus86GLHS]

was there ever an SDAC event in New England?

can someone from SDAC comment on the general population of SDAC (regional) membership by location? in other words, where are the most members located?

[BadAssPerformance]

Most recent was SDAC 13 was based in Aberdeen, MD.

Anybody is more than welcome to have a mini SDAC at my house. I'll see if we can rent the airport for a day for drag racing. We can do burnouts in from of my wife's boss's house at 1:00 AM.

No you better be there breaking some kind of van record. Even if it's most miles driven to the event!

[j4278h]

I say it should be near Kalamazoo, MI.

There is a great drag strip US131 which is 20 miles north along with Gingerman roadcourse which is 35 min. away.

I'm not biased at all

Come on I'm willing to Bribe Barry with a free glht omni to sway the vote.

was there ever an SDAC event in New England?

Twice we have looked into it. The first time was for SDAC 8 I think (under the prior management). Then for SDAC-13 we started up in N.E. and could not find a track that we could afford to rent (we just wanted to rent it, not BUY it) nor a track that would let us run freely during a weekday. Aberdeen MD was the furthest north we could find on the east coast where there were tracks that really wanted our business and didn't have homeowner assn rules that sucked. In that search we started in the area of NED but also looked at upstate NY. A few drag strips told us that on a weekday, we could only race between 10am & 3 pm, and/or that only one car could go down the track at a time, and that all cars had to have mufflers and meet a max noise limit.

can someone from SDAC comment on the general population of SDAC (regional) membership by location? in other words, where are the most members located?

By far the largest grouping is in the midwest, namely Ohio, Michigan, & Illinois. But there is a good size group out east, and I think PA may lead the pack as the state with the most members. I had a thread on td.com in the members area that had a breakdown, but that info is pretty old now.

Our second largest grouping by area would have to be mid-Atlantic up through New England. Which makes the poor attendance at SDAC-13 even more of a mystery. I think the torrential rain a few days before and right up to our event, with massive flooding everywhere, had a lot to do with it. When I drove up on Friday that week, it rained from Ohio till I got to the motel in MD. And the last couple hundred miles were a downpour the whole time.

If you were to send me the city and state columns from you database, I can easily create a Google Earth Plot.
