I just want to be clear here - I go to Elkhart Lake at least 3 times a year. There are hundreds if not thousands of LBCs there each time. The track is full of LBCs, the town streets are filled with them, and the parking paddock looks like Abingdon, Coventry and Blackpool annexed themselves in Central Wisconsin. I'm not lobbying for Elkhart for my usual selfish reasons - I get several full doses of the place per year. I'm suggesting it because it is a beautiful venue that is built around appreciation for the sports-type automobile, and because THERE ARE SO MANY OF US CLOSE BY TO HELP. I'm sure the 10 committee members will be the key people in laying out the plan for the event, but I would think executing that plan a lot easier if list members are nearby to do the foot work. One of the factors on the checklist might want to be how many really vested volunteers live within 100 miles of the place. I've undertaken some very large scale projects long
 distance, and it is an awful lot easier with people on the ground where the action is.
