Sorry if I as confusing....
My point was that post #12 made it sound like Holiday weekends, other family plans, etc. didn't really need to be a consideration because the serious Buick guys would be there anyway, plan accordingly, "break it to the family", etc. That is probably true and fine if the serious buick guys, and those of us close by, are the only target audience. However; if you want to increase attendance by others that maybe aren't the most serious enthusiast but still might like to come or to encourage those that may not get the 11 months notice; then maybe a Holiday weekend would be good to avoid. Lots of people that do make other plans for Memorial day weekend will be hitting the road Friday which would make it very difficult to attend the TB.com event. I don't know that many, or any, people would be in that situation but I just think it is a variable worth considering, that's all. There are pros and cons both ways.
I think the "Buick vs. ???? Grudge style racing " idea is great! Maybe some of you fast guys could beat up on some of the loud mustangs running around here. I'm a vintage mustang fan but this new crowd sure is annoying.
A couple other suggestions would be:
1) You are probably already doing this but hopefully all the vendors web sites have a big ad for the event with a link to the info.
2) Insure the info on this site is clear and really stands out, maybe with a totally separate forum at the top of the page just for the 2019 event. Right now if you go to the 2019 event thread, it is mostly info about old events and would be very hard for a newcomer, or even a regular, to sort through for information about the next event.
Regardless of the date, I'm going to do my best to attend...... already looking forward to it!
