I was thinking about this today. I tried to do a meet two years ago up in WI, and there was some initial interest but in the end no one wanted to come. But this year, gas is gonna be cheap, and I think a lot of us could use a weekend away from the troubles and woes we may be having at home in the current economy.
However, I am not going to ask the question, "If I planned a meet, would you come?" The question this year is simpler, "Would you definitely attend a 60degree meet?" If you defnitely would, reply to this post.If you have to think about it, please do not reply. I want to see dedicated interest in a meet this year somewhere, not people who aren't sure. If enough people say yes, then what I would do is plan a meet closest to the proximity of the people who would definitely attend as possible.
One of the biggest complains I hear about meets is they're too far away. Well if you are serious about attending a meet, I will plan it closer to you. That measn it could be in Indiana or Oklahoma, or Georgia , or wherever, depending on where those who would attend live. So if you want to havea 60v6 meet and you would for sure attend, reply to this post. If there is enough interest, I will plan a meet.
I may own a GTO now, but I'm still a 60V6er at heart.
i would show up if it werent too far, just to show off the obd1.5 to obd1 conversion........................... and my formerly red, now pitch black cherrybomb glasspack thats held in place with zipties since i broke the weld this winter...
1995 Monte Carlo LS 3100, 4T60E, OBD1 Conversion...for now, future plans include a 3900, T04E-46 (Knock-Off) turbo (For the 3100, ~T61 for the 3900), and a F40.
I would be open to a lot of those because I will drive anywhere. I know Corvettes are made in Bownling Green, and I would love to see how those are built. St. Louis could be good too because there is Gateway Raceway Park. Texas could be a lot of fun with all those open roads. I would not be a big fan of Florida in late July, but if a bunch of people from FL said they would attend, I'd have it there. But I think more imput is needed. How far would you be willing to drive to a meet? Again, I'll go anywhere. But how far would you guys go?

time of the year and distance factor in for me, but as long as gas is cheap, i would put a good 20$ there and 20$ back with no problem. with current price of gas and factoring in my fuel economy..... a 300 mile radius from 49232 and i wouldn't have to think about it.

using google maps, and mspaint i came up with this:
thats my 300 mile radius...

Bowling Green isn't much outside of that circle. I think our first meet we went to the Corvette museum and plant. Definitely worth it. And, for families, there is the huge waterpark right next to the campground where we normally stay, which also happens to be right next to the dragstrip.
