Well I will try to answer as many questions as possible.
First of all its all still in the planing stages. I was invited to attend the pilimanary meeting, however its at Saleens shop 700 miles away as I understand it.
Two things, I talked to SVTOA over the phone, the guy I spoke to suggested we get our own chapter as well as a dealer sponser. I dont know about all that! As far as local chapters go, If say all us Utah guys join we already have several SVTOA members in state, we would just need a dealer sponsor etc,
Next it sounds like anyone will be allowed to (as we have now come to commonly refer to as) " GAWK and WALK " for a small gate fee! Again not all things have been decided.
Autocross and road course! I figure as long as things are still in the planning stages I see no reason why we couldnt get our own parking! I will have to be honest and say that I am sure they will cater to SVTOA members first! ( this is not a ploy to join, I have and have many second thoughts and many o times wish I had purchased a good pizza instead )
I think what it really comes down to, is we have a place to go, something to do there, a reason for being. I think we still can arrange a drive as Simon pointed out. I think we can all have fun! (It is vegas)
The sema show will have just wrapped up, hopefully some of them may have stuck around. I am sure Ford will have their people stay over for the SVTOA thing, the Focus tour and Ford Racing trailers should be there as mentioned a Shelby tour and Saleen as well.
