MidWest Region Events in 2006

[karwath]

Let's start planning some MidWest Region events in 2006.

Here are some of the ideas for events that I have had, or that others have shared with me.

Let's hear from other MidWest Region members about their ideas and desires for 2006.

What do you think of some of the ideas others have suggested?

Let's also hear what people think in terms of timing and location.

Here is the preliminary list of potential ideas:

1. Autocross Event, possibly in Northern Indiana, Central Indiana, or Central Ohio (Columbus area), etc.

2. Track day event at Mid-Ohio, Putnam Park (west of Indy), Gingerman, etc.

3. BBQ or other organized social/car event in connection with an IRL race in the Midwest (Indy 500 6/25/06; Milwaukee 7/24/06; Michigan 7/31/06; Kentucky 8/14/06, or Chicago 9/11/06).

4. BBQ or other organized social/car event in connection with the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis 7/2/06.

All of the above sound great to me! Can we do all of them?

[Urmil]

There's UBAB.
There's FWT.
There's "couple's weekend" in Galena.
There's talk of getting an S2K group auto-x series going.

However, if you'd like to have an S2KCA exclusive events, then the preceding will not do.

Well, considering we are a club that caters to the actual club members, S2KCA members-only events are always preferred. However, we have endorsed other events in the past and might do so again under the right circumstances.

[GChambers]

There's UBAB.

There's talk of getting an S2K group auto-x series going.

Huh? How do I get involved???? What can I do to help get this going???

Urmil, I do not think our events will be exclusively S2KCA events. But, we certainly will be selling the benefits of being a club member at those events!!!

Urmil,

I have heard of the FWT, and I think I have heard mention of UBAB (this is a BBQ event you host, right, with the U standing for Urmil?)

I have not heard of the Couple's weekend in Galena, I even did a search , Urmil, I'd like to hear more about it and the other events you have planned or that are in the works.

Do you have tentative dates in 2006 already?

At a minimum, I would want folks to try to organize any other things without creating a conflict with your events, if possible.

[Urmil]

There are no "my" events. The events I like attending and enjoy in organizing are for all S2K owners. S2K owners are a special breed, regardless of site bias (S2Ki, S2KCA, etc).

Call me when you get a chance sometime during the weekend. My pm's aren't working properly so can you get my # from either Gchambers or Perry.

[karwath]

I'll call you Urmil, and I guess I meant the events you indentified not literally your events. Thanks!

[GChambers]

Urmil, I screwed up your number when I programmed it into my phone. I have been meaning to ask you to pm it to me.

[hamrhd]

Are there enough people in south central Wisconsin to form a chapter? I live in madison, wi and would be interested in helping start one here. Are there 4 more people in this area that are interested? Need a minimum of 5 to start although it wouldn't be much of a chapter if all we could find is 5. Think about it and let me or a director know that you are interested

[karwath]

I'm bumping this thread -- any others have ideas or want to volunteer to get some more MW events on the Calendar now that 2006 is here?

[Coop]

I have heard that "Brown County" is nice place for a drive, maybe an overnight.

[Ulrich]

How about a multi-chapter meet for a long weekend? What's half-way between Indiana and Texas?

[Coop]

MO, Branson(sp?)

[Ulrich]

If that's within a day's driving (each way) and we get to go up the Talimeda Scenic Byway again, I'm game!

[karwath]

Memphis?

[shamowfski]

Memphis is about halfway...don't know what's there though.

Edit: He beat me to it...

[karwath]

Blues, BBQ
