How many people did you have for SZ Lite? Is it possible it lost its identity because the proportion was so heavily weighted towards Cougar's? If there were 20 Contiques there instead of 6, do you think it would regain some of that identity?
We had 23 registered (granted 4 were my family) and even more showed up. We didn't have a huge Contour showing (hell I didn't even bring mine as I was bringing home too much stuff) which is fine. Yes, to your point, I think the low Contique turn out played a part in SZ loosing it's identity to me. And I'm not saying that the two events should NEVER again be combined, but maybe make it more of every 5 yrs we combine the events (just throwing out a number). Part of what hurt us last year if you remember was an extended forum outage right in the middle of SZ planning by CSVT#49 and he wasn't able to get concrete numbers to plan major events (track day etc).
I should have come for more of CF (it really did just feel like only CF to me when I was there), unfortunately last minute changes didn't allow it. I really wish I would have had more time to get around and meet more people that were there. I'm sure there were CEGers there I've never met and should have as well as some NECO folks.
Keep in mind, I'm not complaining or putting the event that we had this year down at all, just to me it was, well I'm not sure, it just didn't feel right.
I'm probably going to have re-read this tomorrow, because I'm sure only have 1/4 of what I typed actually makes any sense right now.
