Vegas would be nice, I was planning on going to Vegas after Maxus but I didn't have enough time or money. If there is a good road course out there I would def be down for it, but I would probally just fly out there and rent a car for the track. (if the track has cars you can rent)

That would be alot of fun, but damn, Vegas is one hell of a haul. I would probably only go if alot of people committed to going. I know that getting people to set it all up is a big issue, but what about having it somewhere in the midwest? More guys from the east would probably show up, and it wouldn't be that bad of a drive for those of you in Texas. I dunno, just a thought.
Edit: ^^Atlanta would be a decent place also.

The two places that I was brainstorming for possible venues were Chicago and Atlanta. Both of these locations would provide options for the east coast group to attend.
Blake, I may be living in Atlanta next summer so that might give us another place to stay.

I prefer the Vegas idea. But it doesn't matter where you select, if it isn't in the NorthEast, most of the NE ppl will wuss out. And apparently all of the West Coast ppl will wuss out no matter what.
Atlanta will never get my vote, I have been there too many times and there is no more to do there than there is do to here. Plus, NOPI is already held there every year. Myrtle Beach or Orlando wouldn't be bad ideas if we held it in the SouthEast.

Well, that's understandable but NOPI and Maxus can operate as two seperate entities, not to mention the Org has a substantial membership in ATL that could help serve as the backbone for the next event.
So what can you do in Vegas that you couldn't do in the Atlanta area besides gamble? If you are looking for hookers I am pretty sure you won't have a problem picking one up in Atlanta. 
Personally, after being to Vegas, the gambling aspect provides too large a monetary distraction, but to each his own.

Vegas has the best strip clubs in the country, for those who insist on going to them. There is more to see and do in Vegas than just gamble. Imagine an arial photo of 150 Maximas crossing the Hoover Dam.

Well, strip clubs were an option in Dallas and to my knowledge that option was passed on for a cleaner alternative. Plus, 150?? Considering the West Coast turnout this year (ehem ~ 0), I couldn't see there being more than about 20 cars at the show in total whereas a show on the eastern part of the conus would have more around 200 cars.

I've already critisized the West Coast people for not showing at all and most of the North East people for not showing. The best thing we have going for us right now is the fact that most of us who attended had great times. If we don't spread our propaghanda the next years turnout won't be better than this year. And has there ever been a Maxus on the West Coast? Is it fair to the WC people that we have it closer to the EC every year?
If we do however agree to have it on the EC again, I still recommend Myrtle Beach SC or Orlando FL.

I'd definitely be down for Myrtle Beach, as long as we can make Maxus during one of the cheaper golf package weeks.
Plus, we can drive up to Little River and hop on the casino boats -- did this just two months ago in mid-March and had a blast. I have now been there twice and it is by far my favorite vacation destination outside of Hawaii. The hotel/golf packages are outrageous. |

I was just thinking of having it here in central mass...
Theres a spot in Auburn where they have 200~300 + car shows at the local mall every few months in the summer. Also Lime Rock racetrack is about 2 hours from there and New England Dragway (1/4 mile) is about an hour away. Also the place I dyno is about 10 minutes from this spot. Not to mention theres 3 new hotels in the area that were just completed this year. Plus theres alot of good restuants and clubs in the area, including the best sushi bar Ive been to. 
Just tossing the idea out, feel free to flame away... 
Edit: And there is Bancroft Nissan, they do some car shows at there lot but its probally to small for us. They might be willing to sponser this meet. |

Ideally somewhere right in the middle of the country would be nice. St. Louis would both be a good option.
If we do keep it further south then I would offer Baton Rouge. Although there is not a ton of stuff to do in the city that you couldn't do in just about anywhere else, there is tons of good restaurants (especially seafood), and an really nice track with a smaller road course and a nice 1/4 mile only an hour away. New Orleans has a lot to do although a lot of the bigger maxima guys there have move or moved on.
Anyway if you do have it somewhere else, I will go anywhere in the southeast and will try to make it otherwise.
