We could all meet up in PDX and enjoy a drive out to the dalles area to ORP as a group and then then the racers would race and people who just want to relax and particpate by watching/video/photos would still be included. This could generate additional funding towards track rental that otherwise would go un used.

Could do like $40 (arbitrary number used) for a spectator/meet fee? If we had 20 extra people participate it would offset the fees for the drivers.

This would also really help with producing some fotage and photos for anytype of media that we want to produce. Eitherway its a great way to get others involved that otherwise would be left out that may want to see what all the fuss is about.

Good idea ilpad or stfu oldman?
I agree. Have the mega meet there, charge an admission price ($20?), have free prizes (I have so cheap stuff to give away), free food (maybe a token to get one meal like a hamburger and chips). Have an autocross portion for those that don't like track time (there are a lot out there), and also have a track day portion. Fees for both track and autocross. Call up venders and have them sponser/allow vender booths. We could turn this into the real deal and get media coverage if it got big enough! Am I going overboard?
