I'd consider a 'larger' event to Spartansburg, SC - it's roughly 7 hours for me.

It's fun to have a lot of people join in on these things instead of 3-4 vehicles... I think that'll be the hard part, getting people to commit.

M5board was great for years in doing this, they had an event called TimmayFest and it was well organized. I attended a few years ago, and they would get guys from all over the country (FL, GA, CA, NY, NJ, PA, DC, VA, etc). They had events for each day, hotel rooms blocked off, drag/dyno day, cars & coffee events, etc.

If someone is willing to work out a tour of the plant or hosting a local cars & coffee - it could be worth the time and effort.

I guess the biggest problem with this museum and plant tour would be availability of our members being able to make this event during the week. The plant tours offer a 1 and 2 hour guided tour and the museum is self guided but the hours are only Monday through Friday. This might deflate our event before it even gets out of discussion.

That being said, here is a link to the plant tours with an embedded link to the museum tours.

If we are held to weekend hours only, the "Tail of the Dragon" may be another choice. I have been wanting to go for about 10 years now and have yet to make the trip. The views in the Appalachians is nothing short of spectacular in the fall so just throwing this out there if the weekday events are off the table. 314 turns in 11 miles.

I like the idea! Hopefully it can be set to motion.

OK, for grins, lets just start a list of weekdays or weekends. Once we know who might be interested we can start leaning that way and get some more info on dates and logistics. Just copy and paste the list with any comments or replies.

Friday might be a good day if we want to tour the plant.
