[TR] LBC major gathering - new event ideas?

[pethier at comcast.net]

I have enjoyed the Rendezvous often in the last ten years.  Didn't make it every year.  I always like it when they have an autocross.  I especially like the autocross/speed-run combination when we are lucky enough to have an airport site.

I'm a car guy and couldn't care less about golf.

My favorite feature of organized tours is a section where the route doubles back on itself or runs both sides of a canyon/valley so the participants get to see the other cars on the road.

Family scheduling is not settled yet, but I may be seeing you in Fargo.
