Would it be possible to have a regional area?
NW - SW - NE - SE ?

I think every member from the NW section on TC will tell you its been hugely beneficial to them.

We've grown into an extended family that helps each other work on our cars, help run down parts for each other, help each other with specialty tools, we get together with our family's for an annual Dyno & Burnoff Competition, BBQ's 3-4 times a year, at least 2/3's of us hit the track several times a year together, we provide lodging occasionally for members that come from out of the area to race.

In the last couple of years we've grown to a group that's easily 30 members deep or more, probably closer to 40.

We've said many times that if each region could develop the network of friendship that this has allowed the NW guys to develop, the Chevelle World would be a better place.
Greg said it very well. I was drawn in to another forum because of the ability of local contacts at events. It might seem as a clique to others. But thats is just not true. I have met people through this type of local forum that I would not have had the chance to in a national environment.
Now since this Forum is just getting started I can understand some hesitation about dividing any of it up. The truth be known though it would be the same as dividing out N/A cars from Forced induction cars in the performance section. Then having fears that that the two would not share information and ideas.
So as the Forum grows please think real hard about allow regional sub section under local events. Because does someone in North Carolina really want to know who is bringing the paper plates to a Washington state BBQ.
