One of the ways we promoted and expanded was to go to the strip take videos and say hey, "see yourself here for free." That kinda worked and several of the old timers got here that way. I know Glenn from the first DC Bird Cruise. We're not trying to be a SoCal only board, it's more of a limitation of resources. If you got any clever ideas, please to share.

That idea of the videos is great along with the timeslip area. I told a couple of buddies at work about it. One has a drag car built for the 1/8...70 nova and the other has a 69 camaro which does double duty with the only change being rear tires on track day. The guy with the Nova also has a 69 camaro, a roadrunner a 70 buick, etc etc. I'm going to see if I can't get them to join...neither are pros...rather just like me...part time fun seeker and bubba:rolling:
I've followed the bird cruises and think that they are fantastic. I know that Kevin and Tim went the last time around for the big one. I couldn't go...I am on the east coast and just couldn't figure out how to pull it off time wise/money wise let alone going it by myself. I still say that you guys in Cal have all the fun:sm_laughing:
Most of the guys in this region from VM are spread out...Georgia, Fla, NC, so distance is a problem for get togethers. I know Gene tried last fall to put one together, but probably didn't get out of staters. There's quite a few guys on CF around here, but I don't think they like us much:sm_laughing:
Keep the ideas rolling and put some into place and hopefully you'll get more participating members. Look at VM. Those guys put it together and stuck to a model and principle...ie, fun, tech, and no bullshit vette business....and they are growing daily. Of course the dumbasses at CF gave them an opportunity and they seized on it....good vision I guess. And the mods are great people...don't believe the crap you here about them at CF. Larry, Marck and Karsten have all helped me when I needed it. Jeff also has helped me, but he's not a mod anymore, just a great contributor.
