A. What is the longest distance you would drive to attend an LS1 event? (miles)
1000 miles, but would depend on the answers to B and C below.
B. Would a 2-day event/gathering be better for you vs a 1-day event?
2 day events are mandatory, IMO. This would allow for scheduling due to weather (with a one day event, it is alot more problematic if there is say a 60% chance of rain on Saturday, versus a 2 day event, where the event could still happen, and everyone wouldn't have travelled in vain if they decided to travel at all), and allow for more events (such as a car show or some other similar attraction that would draw more people in).
C. What would be the most important thing for you to attend an event?
Attendance (like to see alot of setups, people, cars, instead of seeing the same 25 cars running 100 times throughout the event, as well as seeing everything in the pits in less than an hour. Classes (real world classes that are full instead of classes with 2-3 cars total). Location and track. Being centrally located is a plus, as is a good facility/track (we'll call it the US41 syndrome
) Lastly, the sponsors should setup booths, showing off new parts, having "show" specials, showing project/shop/employee cars, etc.

A. What is the longest distance you would drive to attend an LS1 event? (miles)
The trip from here to the Thunder shootout (11hours ~700miles) is about the longest. That was one hell of a drive!
B. Would a 2-day event/gathering be better for you vs a 1-day event?
I like 2 day events. because it makes it nicer for people that traveled along way. No one wants to drive 500 miles then have to drive back within a day or less.
C. What would be the most important thing for you to attend an event?
Attendence and getting to put faces with screen names. I like looking at the cars that i've only read about and meeting the people behind them.

A) 200 miles each way is plenty for a weekend trip
B) A One day, preferably a Saturday afternoon with a rented track
C) Beer is a plus, but I think location, location, location is the key.

I would drive about 1000 miles for and event.
A 2 day event would be nice if it was along drive.
I want to see a lot of cars racing andhaving the sponsors there to talkwit and buy stuff from would be great.
