Can we actually compare the Bonneville Club and different chapters and other car clubs like the Masons, Eastern Stars, and the Shriners? In a way, my local club actually have events for each year. Either we represent by gathering up and ride around neighborhoods, doing find raisers, picnics, and have fun. Just a thought.

Well I think it'* a great idea, but due to the extremely large & varied member locations, a giant meet would be almost impossible though.
As for "Local Chapters", I'm working with V8Less http://www.v8less.com/ to start up a "Domestic V8Less Club" here in Alberta! >>> http://www.v8less.com/programs/forum...994425b63957f9
Unfortunately we are having problems finding a leader to lead this club, I would normally, but with my own Forum, store, family life, etc.... my palet is already full or it wouldn't look good for a Club Leader to run a club that has a "Financial" gain as well.

PS: YES, I hang out with these so-called "Ricers" by some!

That would be cool.. but like Rat says.. we are too far apart.. unless we all co-ordinate and do a drive for toys kinda thing (I know the local VW Enthusiast here does that ).. they drive around collecting toys in different areas for kids for Christmas and they all have fun.. Shell sponsored them with designated free gas area.. it would be cool when we can do that one day.. from Ontario South to the STates.. WEstward.. Northward to BC and such

Yeah, I know we all are far from each other, but still there can be some way we all can have an event for each chapter in our towns. Like Independence Day, we all celebrate it together even though we aren't in each others presence. Shouldn't it be a way we can all link up an event together but in different cities? Like a national event. The central do something, the east do something , the west do something. Even though we aren;'t there we can still do it at the same time. Is that a good enough example?
