Reading this thread is like going to a car show and seeing an LS swapped RX7. Do we really need to see one every year?
If you really want to go to SDAC and hang out with great people you only get to see once a year then you'll find a way to make it. I missed last year and will do everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again. If you're too far away but still love the drive then fly to a buddies place that lives closer and have a great time. If you have no buddies then fly to the event itself. If all or any of that is too much work then you must not really want it that bad.
Boy what I wouldn't give to have SDAC within 15hrs of my place. That is a totally doable solo trip in one day, even easier with a co-driver (which I have never had). But alas that will never happen so instead of griping I attend and make lasting memories.

OH Fer Chissakes! Is anyone in this thread that's whining about the distance to SDAC further away than I am?? I think not! Here's some tips for those members.
1) Yes, we want you to attend, even if it's too far to drive.
2) There are cheap flights, I've been attending SDAC for 10 years and haven't driven there yet. It costs less to fly than drive 15+ hours and pay for fuel/food/hotel.
3) You will have fun helping other SDAC members tune/wrench on/race/fix their cars. You have TM wrenching skills? Think about helping someone who has a car there, they will appreciate it
4) SDAC is about the cars AND the people Show up, contribute in any way you can. Have fun! I have every time.
5) Im planning on have a little gold 2.4l powered L body in Detroit for SDAC this year, I need 3 TM enthiusiasts that DONT have cars there to ride with me on the rally!

So anyone in the southeast (VA, NC, SC, GA, FL...) area know they are driving? My brother and I will most likely drive from here, with Mini in-tow.
If meeting up with other turbo-mopar travelers along the wsy works out, we could "caravan" it!

I really wanna go to this, I've been in the TD scene since the mid 90's , and this one is within 3-4 hours of me, I'd have to go alone and don't really know anybody lol.
You'll know everyone within a few minutes after getting there. Plus you get to put a name and face with these online aliases.
Definitely. I knew like 3 people when I attended my first one, but by Monday I knew a ton of people and every year I meet someone else. Great opportunity to get to really know the community and the fact you're just a few hours away, at the least drive in for the weekend and do the meet and greet Saturday and car show Sunday. I would always encourage people to attend the entire event, but cost and time are two factors that we can't always afford. I left early my first SDAC (2007), but have since stayed the entire time. Hope you can make it! We'll do our best to be hospitable.
