Something ya'll might consider is whiel it would be a 'non sanctioned AMO 
event' see if a nearby (within reasonable distance) track will be open on 
Thurs or Fri night and have a AMC day. Can't do it Saturday night as that is 
the awards banquet. But Friday night would be good and piggyback onto this 
nationals. My first suggestion however before anyone wants to get anything 
started is find out the official intenery of the meet. That is the actual 
schedule of events, to make sure there is no conflict with the host club, or 
national club's interest. The reason why (and I can say this with 11 
regionals and a national under my loosening belt) is that you have shit 
sometimes start up on the internet that may be a great idea, like in 1998 
with a 'amc list meet' at Ruffalo's in Kenosha. Problem was it was Friday 
night. Which directly conflicted with scheduled meetings, cruise night at 
Andy's and a screening of 'The Man With The Golden Gun' bond AMC cult 
classic at the Sheridan Drive Inn on the outskirts of town. So you have to 
plan around 'thier schedule' as it is their meet and I assure you, they have 
busted their asses the past 3 years, and will not sleep 96 hours stright 
thru the meet putting it on to insure a good time, and no glitches.

The problem (I didn't think it was at the time) conflict of the amc-list 
meet was that it took away a good 20-50 people who otherwise would have been 
involved in official activities. Granted, I was there and it was 
disorganized, just a bunch of AMC fans showed up, stood around, shot the 
bull, then headed off in every direction, but was still fund for that short 
time; most ended up going back to the host hotel Holiday Inn to see the 
every increasing array of cars, while others went to the drive inn. Paige 
and me went to a pub to drink, we had went to so many damned official 
meetings it was numbing! I may add the people at the pub, which was almost 
across the street from the host hotel, Paige and me threw darts, she is 
pretty good too, and has played on several Houston dart teams, but I still 
kick her ass. But we rarely paid for anythign and I walked with about $100 
beating the crap out of locals playing darts. "We ain't never seen anyone 
throw 13 bullseyes straight." Well duh. Free Guiness is the best Guiness.

Anyhows, if somehow it comes to pass that a event can piggyback on top of 
this event, that would be great but whoever wants to do it seriously needs 
to open some form of communication now with the host chapter, and the area 
track, just don't show up and say 'we going to meet here' as it will torpedo 
both. Been there done that, never again.
