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 develope the network of friendship that this has allowed the NW guys to develope, the Chevelle World would be a better place.
Thank you for that. I have been a recipient of the finest hospitality in the NorthWest on several occaisions.

I totally agree with Greg on this. I do understand the fear of segregation and creating an in-forum clique. However, much of the banter within the Northwest section on the other Chevelle website would irritate folks if it were posted in a general area. As mentioned, it is often a local message board where people share tools, skills, parts, and the odd frosty after a fun day at the track. Members from all around the world participate in it, as it is often full of friendly jabs and razzing.

I, as well as the others that congregate there, do post often in many of the other forums as well. But we respect the boundaries of specific technical forums and post relevant and hopefully useful information there. We don't clutter them up with unrelated local banter.

Thank you for the new site. This is a nice compliment to the other Chevelle site I frequent. Please keep up the good work.
