Sounds awesome, but also sounds like a lot of work and coordination between clubs. Secondly, it also sounds expensive for people who are normally on shoe-string budgets. I don't want to rain on anyones parade, however our inability as a club to pull people together within our own state shows that folks are often all talk - twenty people say they'll show at a meet one month before it happens, then within the last week before the meet, more than half drop out.

If you plan to put something together that would involve (potentially) thousands of people across multiple states, you'll have to clearly define what the expectations are - and make damn sure money is involved for prizes and cost. Someone who pays to go somewhere is much more likely to show up than someone who says they'll be there... if they can get off work. Also make sure the prizes and expenses are uniform across whatever club / state joins. And lastly, make sure there are classes people can actually compete in - not just 1st gen, 2nd gen... and so on.

Racing competitively is really for those who can consistantly afford it. If you cannot, you're just a casual racer. If this is truly competitive and not just a chance to travel like a mini Power Tour to someone elses home track, eat some BBQ, race your car and make new friends, then the number of people involved will be very small (my opinion).

What I would do is - schedule a date, location and theme (if any) for the meet at another location, identify possible hotel space and cost, identify track / food / entrance fee (basically make it a packaged deal) and collect that stuff UP FRONT from anyone wanting to go. Then identify a good route to drive and offer to convoy there as a club. Anything else bought along the way is up to those attending. Sound like a lot of work yet? It should.

Don't jump into this half-assed. It'll make the club look bad and will put a lot of stress on the few volunteers willing to make all of the above, happen.
