Has this ever been done? I know there are members all over the country, neighbors to the north, and the islands of Hawaii, but it would be cool to find a neutral location where members could gather to run their pride and joys, meet members and their families, and have a great time. A race park with road course and drag strip would be ideal. I have been a member for a short while, so I don't know if this has been done in the past. I'm looking at a foot of snow in my driveway so trailering my car somewhere warm to run it a bit would be great for ME and my car. Any ideas or thoughts?

I tried to have people come out to Englishtown for a big Ford race last year or the year before. Posted about it for weeks, there are a TON of members in the NJ area, and two showed up.

Good luck, but everyone is into it, until they have to actually make it happen.

there isnt a whole lot of people too serious about racing on this site, and this site has a ton of people spread out all over the counrty, i think its a good idea, but it would definitly be alot of work.

Thats one of the things i would do if i hit that 300million dollar jack pot, have all my friends from here ship their cars out for a week long Stangnet meet where we could all hangout and race our cars, one day it'll happen

5 or 6 years ago there was a stangnet.com vs. ls1.com at Montgomery Motorsports Park in Montgomery, AL. Almost 100 cars showed up. It was a blast.

I would love to do something like that again. Would be willing to drive a little ways, too. Just need time to replace my tired motor...lol.

Years back, the NorCal (Bay Area) guys set up a bunch of meets/cruises. Track days are tough, for some reason. If I were going to set up an event, I'd start with a meet, and maybe a cruise. This way, you can determine how many people you can get to show up.

Noone ever goes to the track because then they will KNOW how slow their car runs, or have to prove that it isn't a dog...
