I would absolutely love to drive to a huge event like Maximus, but no way my wife would allow it.

That would mean ditching her for several days or dragging my four year-old son a looong way in a car that is almost 15 years old.
We have had a few good meets in the last couple of years, but it is tough to get people together. Seattle area people don't get all that excited about rolling down to the Portland area and vice versa.
Actually, I like to go up to Seattle, but it about 4 hours each way and I usually work on Saturdays. I would like to have gone to the last big one up there. I don't even get to Portland much, unless it's a family event or a doctor appointment for my son.
Anyway, maybe something could be set up locally to coincide with a NWNissan event, especially since guys like EB, Patrick and Jeff have moved up to RWD Infinitis.
February or beyond is going to be best. There is usually better luck on NWMaxima setting up meets than here. If anyone wants to try and pull something off be sure to post it there.
