2006 National meet survey- ONLY 54 REPLIES !! ???? :-(

[Bill V]

Fmarano,

pretty pain and simple, if you cant attend a meet.....dont do the survey???



There is no rule that says we HAVE to do it.....

Absolutely right--but then when we don't fill out that survey for those reasons, we shouldn't have people overreacting about

This is crazy, only 54 responses to this survey!!!...

and other such hyperbole.

SST that is what the SW Regional meet is suppose to be for all the west coasters that wanted or want to come....I'm still decideing if I'll do this again this year. Got moving and all on my mind.



edit: I did fill out the National meet survey...may not get to attend any of those dates though.. got alot happening around that time period.

Jeff, I agree with Todd "you've got to be kidding me". We drove from Sacramento, CA. last year Louiville, and this year to Dallas. This yrs. total milage was around 5700 mi. You can make a vacation out of it.



GM, You could go up to the Seattle meet. The country is very green, but there is more traffic around the Seattle area. If you take the time to go over to the Olympic Penninsula you will not be disappointed. The ferry ride is awesome, or if you drive around through Olympia the drive is gorgeous. We would have gone to this yrs., but we were doing some home remodeling.

One problem is that the survey didn't work for several days when it was first started. I nearly gave up on it myself. It was quite annoying.



The most you could expect is about 40-50 STs at any location. Atlanta is a good choice since there are so many registered owners. However, I doubt even 10% of the registered owners even visit this site on a regular basis.



The forum has been very quiet for some time now. I really think Rich should sent an e-mail message to all registered users to get a better showing on the survey.

rumpy, there's tons to do in Atlanta. You can go watch the Bravos on their way to hopefully a 15th straight division title

And subsequently lose a divisional playoff series!

Todd Z,

No matter when or where the meet is held, you will not please everyone.



I have attended all 4 national meets and numerous regional meets, and will try to make it to the national meet where ever it is held. If it is too far or at an incovenient time for me, then I propably won't make it, but I won't whine about it or blame the organizers of the event.



The National meet originally started out as a www.mysporttrac.com national meet. Ford offered to sponsor the meet if it was held in Louisville, KY. That was for Ford's convenience and they did provide excellent prizes, food and hospitality. However, since then it appears that Ford want's to dictate the dates, the times, the locations, etc and the more Ford is involved in these decisions the smaller the attendence gets each year.



I have always been in favor of moving the national meet to different locations around the country to give everyone an opportunity to attend and not have to drive 1000 miles or more. Would Ford approve of this? I don't think so, but then I don't care if Ford wants to sponsor the meets or not.



I appreciate Ford's generous donations of time and money to sponsor so much of the annual event, however I think that we need to take back control of the destiny of the national meets. Who says we cannot have a national meet because Ford may not be willing to sponsor the event. I'm sure there are other Ford dealers or a regional group of dealers who would love to sponsor a national event.

Well stated RichL. I'm planning an OKC meet in April. I'm not asking for any sponsors and even if a sponsor stepped up, I wouldn't change the date or location to please them. If you have 100 prizes and only two people can show up with their STs, then what is the point of having the meet? :unsure:

 

[Rich Stern]

Added it to the home page.

 

[Dre L]

Will Ford be letting each of us take home a new Trac? I think they should to build up sales.



I know since I bought mine, they easily made 100 sales in the greater NY tri-state area. People wanna be me.

My only request is that the rest of you all who didn't vote yet vote as soon as possible. We have vacation days we need to schedule!
