As far as the weeknight dinners/meets, I know I didn't organize as many "Thursday night meets" last year as I used to for the Chicago area. That used to be one of our 'very attended' weekly meets prior to last year.
I'll make sure that we have many of those planned for this Spring/Summer/Fall. I'll argue to keep the Schaumburg location, but may want to try a 'rolling schedule' so that our weekly meets/dinners don't always fall on Thursday.
I know on my end last year, I didn't organize as many things as what my normal used to be. Having a baby, new job, etc. really stretched my priorities. This year, though, I have a bit more handle on things, so watch out.....y'all maybe complaining how many things that Pete and I put together this season!!!
...also, we may be back up to two UBAB's this year (wife enjoyed the last one, so I may have the green light again)!

I know where you're talking about...isn't that the Corvette Corral for the BRIC. If so, we're going to be hard pressed to get that area. I'll give it a go. Hoepfully we have some good S2K representation for these things...

BTW -- Yes, IRL and Cart are merging this year. The announcement should be within the next couple of days. I have no idea what it is going to do to the schedule.
I WILL be at ALMS this year.

I spent the Generac 500 last year with the NSXCA and it was a blast. Being so close to Road America, I try to get to as many races as possible. I would be up for Mid Ohio or Mosport as well, would love to make it to Atlanta though. As far as F1 goes, yea tickets are steep. Better off meeting somewhere and watching it on a big screen. Can't wait for the summer!
