Hey wait!! That's where I live!! Well, it IS pretty nice here. We
WyCROCers have discussed the possibility of hosting such thang, but
were pretty intimidated by the organizational logistics and the lack
of experience thereof. If you guys (anybody?) are really serious about
CoSpgs, let us know. I think we could come up with a pretty good team
of inexperienced grunts around here to do the legwork if we had some
organizational expertise driving it.
If we're going to talk an ALL DATSUN meet, we oughta talk to the Z
club of Colorado (http://www.zccc.org/) - I think they're about 300
strong. Could open the doors to really organizing it - they're a REAL
club: dues, meetings, etc.. (attempts to absorb WyCROC into ZCCC
failed miserably as they scared us casual clubbers away! :) ).
