I don't want to get this thread locked either, hence my comment about you not takeing offense. We don't have to see things the same way to have a converstaion. We have disagreed in the past, yet I think we should be able to discuss this sensibly. I was not knocking you or your planning skills.
You made the comment that you had never heard anything about SLick and twisted. I pointed out that there was info about it in a couple of different places. You must not have seen it. :o Or you weren't at the places to notice it's announcement, hence the comment about getting out more..
Now, you have said that each of the events have only been held once. Well, the same can be said of GOX before GOX2. I beleive a second Arizona run is being planned for spring. I'm sure the second Cruise the Rockies event is being planned or thought of as we type. Slick and twisted has been in the planning and thinking stage since everyone returned from MOAB last year. I'll admit and agree that their coordinateing skills may not be the best, but I beleive more than 4 trucks attended last year (but I could be wrong).
ECXC2 is in planning stages now. MAXC did a good job last year of promoteing the event, which is good. I'm sure this year will be a great event also.
Nissannet...Which you don't even rate as an event that promoted itself well enough to get noticed on a large scale....We had 20 trucks last year from as far away as Washington State. We have nearly 30 trucks signed up so far. This year should be even better. EOE, AC, 4x4connection and Cliffview have all jumped back on board to sponsor the event. While Calmini won't even respond to e-mails regarding the event. We have also gained sponsorship help from NOR this year.
You're right, 4 events are not enough, but these are just the events I know off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more. We all just need to help get teh events currently available more publicity. That's all I'm saying. If we help each others events strive and grow, then we should start develoing more events...

And it was never personal.......
