I never see any GTGs for Zone 13. Are we just rugged individualists or aren't there enough of us?

Rugged individualists it is.

There was one attempt at a get together last year and I ended up being the only one who showed up. Hopefully we'll try to have a more successful one in the Spring.

Well, if things turn out the same way, at least you'll have company.

Cool! I'm thinking we should have the next one in WI since the IL contingent was a no show last time.

I'm in. Let me know when and where.

I think we should wait until it warms up a little. Then I think we should try and put something together in Lake Geneva or Kenosha.

This thread has me concerned. This year may finally be the year I am able to get my Cayman S, but the lack of activity in this region has me concerned.

I currently have an S2000 and a STi and those boards are always hopping with activity. I realize those cars have been out longer and are half the price but still, this region is DEAD. Geography (read winter) will of course have an impact as well I suppose.

Are the PCA boards for this region/Chicago area more active? Or are Cayman owners indeed a bunch of recluses? Which is fine if they are, just curious is all.

The Cayman Club as a whole has some great info/posts, so that's all well and good it seems.

This post is NOT meant to be a slam in any way, I am just curious as to why this is such a lack of activity.

Thanks.

You can certainly count on having at least one more person at the next GTG. Just bought my CS and I am interested in getting together with other owners.

Actually, this thread was started before I became Zone 13 Coordinator. There was simply no orginization to the Zone before, but now, with spring upon us, Zone 13 and Chicago will be seeing some coffee and cars, some GTGs and some other stuff. Let me know if you have any ideas!

On the other boards I have seen a wide range of ideas.

Drives to nice locales, like Starved Rock near Ottawa, IL w/barbeques

Starbucks parking lot meets

Hooters meets

Paint ball and gtg/drives

Gun range gtg/drives

Dealership gtg/drives

These don't need to be limited to just Cayman(S)'s either of course.

Autocrosses are an obvious spot to meet-n-greet although I understand there is an aversion to SCCA events, the TSSCC has alot of nice events. I don't mention the PCA event due to the limitation on participants. I undertand from reading they are good though.

Maybe there is a way to sticky a caledar of events that may be of interest to the zone?

To be honest I don't know what it is about this region and get togethers. Last year we talked about doing something and I was the only one who showed. Hopefully having a coordinator will help this along and we'll have some social events this year. In the Type R group I used to belong to we had at least one BBQ a year and usually a couple other get togethers going to the annual Expo or something.

Right you are.

I'm thinking about doing a GTG some Saturday (or is Sunday better?) morning in the Chicago area - Heckler and I were previously talking about the northern suburbs or possibly Kenosha - sometime in late March, when the snow's gone and the roads are dry enough. Let me know on this thread your thoughts or ideas.
