I highly doubt he'd be interested with the "Beyond" crew here.
He's actually always on the "Beyond" ap1/ap2 thread all the time
Sharing his information on there.

I will attend events, but my work+race schedule make me a damned poor choice for organizer.

A few views, and no real thoughts.

Come on guys pretend it is spring...
In order to bring some type of community together, you would need to....

1. you need an organizer(s), not a moderator

2. you need members to come out to your meets. this is the hard part. The previous CO in our section came up with the idea to create some s2ki windscreen stickers for our members. it gives them a sense of belonging....? lol

3. your organizer would have to be a bit creative in order to keep the members entertained as well. make them keep coming back for moaR!! doesn't always have to be about cars....maybe a BBQ or something similar. we have karting meets in our section as well. also, the CO needs to make the section jumpin'. more threads on nonsense and joking...a family atmosphere.

4. also, you do not need to be a CO in order to organize a meet. any member can start a thread on something they would like to do....gives you more options for things to do.

5. I'll get back to you later on number 5. Imma bit tired today. already worked eight hours today..eight more hours and I'm done.


my vote. an organizer for each area.

How about a high performance driving school?

Currently I am working with SoloPro Driving Schools arranging schools in Canada (I'm in Calgary btw).

For more information, here's the web site:

www.soloprodrivingschool.com

S2000's as you know, can be tricky to drive at the limits and what could be better than getting some seat time in a safe and non-competitive environment with US National Champion autocrossers helping you along? You can learn an incredible amount about high-performance driving over a weekend that I guarantee you will never learn on the street.

Then, all seriousness aside, it is a bunch of fun to boot!

Yep, came back and started a job in September....and then got laid off in December (Petro-Canada oil sands - Fort Hills). So I'm just doing some consulting on my own right now - construction/engineering - civil engineering projects and more ... looking for more.
