California people expect us from the East Coast to saddle up and make a 2000 mile trip, but how many of them would do the same in the opposite direction?
The only solution to this is to stop worrying about dividing the coasts and to throw this event where there will be dedicated people to support it. Whether or not people show up is a direct result of how well planned and promoted the event is.
Its rediculous to expect CA people to drive to our coast, and rediculous for CA people to expect east coast people to drive out there. We as a group need to lessen our expectations for a utopian 240sx scene. You will never throw a successful "national" event in a city that is 1000 miles away from over 50% of the population of our country. Kids out east are spread out, but we're here. Just because there is a higher concentration of enthusiasts in California doesnt mean that there are more, or that your enthusiasm is somehow better than ours.
In fact I would go so far as to say there are more posers and wannabe drifter kids in Cali than anywhere else in the world.
My offer stands. If the event isnt held in Chicago, then I will push for a Northeast/ Midwest/ East Coast Meet here in Pittsburgh. And guess what? It's going to be one hell of a time.
