As I said before, I don't think we should move the date. If we are still gettng a better and larger turnout every year, and people are still having fun and enjoying the people, why mess with something that is clearly working very well.
Was it a little chilli on Friday, Sure it was....I have a jacket. Cammer had worked out a deal with the hotel to have a party inside....It was us that did not have the sence to come out of the rain
Do I want to deal with spring breakers, a huge live music fest, people not showing up because of easter plans, spring break, local car shows (since april and may is when they kick off in ernest), race season....all a big no. Plus the chances of rain greatly increase in March and April...I truly believe more people will cruise their cars on a brisk dry day than they will on a warm wet day. Of course there are insane people like Me, Bull Durham and John R that will drive them any day...a special kind of crazy
This being one of the first big events of the year and the lack of other scheduling coflicts, I think is very important and part of the reason for out growth.
If you want to see the spring flowers, you can always go back to Austin, it does not close and I am sure the guys would be up to a cruise during any of their monthly meetings. I did the hill country cruise twice last year myself and yes it is pretty in late spring and summer. Traffic is greater (and slower) then due to the increased number of people looking at the flowers and trees. Keeping the group together and having a little speed fun with a group our size would be next to impossible. If you are cruising with 3 or 4 cars that would be differend but 70+, no way.
So far our best reason against keeping it as is, was that there was a chill in the air....to some compelling...to me no. I hate the cold more than anyone in the world. I won't even live north of Conroe Texas because it just too cold where you northerers live
The one good thing is that this is being talked about. Although I strongly disagree with those that want to move it, I completley respect their opinion. Thanks to you guys with a different opinion than mine for stepping up to the plate in this discussion.
Ryan and the Austin guys have to make the call so it is important to give them clear feedback. From the past events its clear we will make it whenever it happens so I don't think we have to tell them that and I don't think it helps those guys make the decision. It does not matter what side of the fence you come down on but please don't sit on the fence (and of course it's always better to agree with me
) so that Ryan and the Austin guys get a clear message of what the majority of the club wants.
I still say leave it alone
