Masta: I feel your pain... i'm all for fun, but certian things kept me away from N meets after N9. I had a LOT of fun at N9, but something told me not to go to N10, and i'm glad that i didn't... If the meets came back to their old glory, i may consider the drive up again, but i won't in its current state.
I hope that good efforts are put into place to bring the meet back around. Once the guys that were originally organizing it got rid of their CRX's, and lost interest in actually holding the meet, it seemed to turn into a 'donation/money' thing more than anything... there was no more SOUL in it anymore. People take for granted how much something like a meet can reflect the organizers attitude and mindset. If you have disinterested organizers, you're likely to not have an interesting meet... if you have immature and irresponsible organizers, the meet can go the wrong direction, and turn into an unruly version of itself.
In neither case would i drive across the country for that... Hopefully Mike and gang can turn it around. We'll see, but it may take a meet or two to see what happens before i decide to come back up there.
