Default FEELER THREAD: EAST COAST GTG?

All,
I know there is the 944Fest and some local (MD., VA., Fla., NY/NJ) gtg's out there, or people at least people asking/inquiring for or about one.

However, would there be any interest for a large "weekend" 944/951 GTG/Rally, closer to home? You know....like a "vacation" destination, but one that had amenities close by (e.g. like a track).

some ideas from past car associations (not porsche):
-poker run
-gtg at the beach (send the wife/kids/GF to the beach<if they are not into cars> while we ride/track)
-gtg at or near a track ( can be rented for the day)
-golf tourney or just for fun
-car show/swap meet
-non-sanctioned DE/Auto X event (can rent a large parking lot for the day...usually from a store that is out of business-Old Kmart, HQ, etc...)
-Casino weekend (Atlantic City)
-Track day, then big cookout//party w/ live band(s) afterward.
etc., etc...

We would try and fit a few of these in over a weekend. Typically the poker run (very,very fun), golf tourney & party/cookout.


What do you think?

I'm up for anything within 350 miles of Norfolk, VA. Any farther and I'd have to take leave.

Yeah mostly VW's and bimmers are at our show. We havent announced a new date yet as we're trying to find a lot to accommodate as we filled the 700+ Spot lot last year.

Actually a road trip to 944fest would be cool too because it's on my way home to Michigan. I could take two weeks, and hit 944fest on either the way there or the way back.

are you referring to the 944Fest?

If so, I'm definitely trying to make that this year, but Just trying to put something together a bit closer that will bring out alot of owners who won't go that far (to the fest).
