is this (topic) where we can suggest something to be included at the Nationals?

if yes, could maybe a local shop set-up a dyno (portable) and attendees could take a run or two? Of course they would pay extra.

if not, sorry - delete my posting.

Discuss away; there's a lot of room to rearrange things in the schedule of events, etc. Just my .02 but what is offered should reflect what the paying customers want; most of the things should interest people coming but the list can always be amended.

As for the dyno, where would we find one a smart could turn?

jwight... when or how will I find if there are others in the PNW who might be interested caravaning?

I have a good idea of my route and my overnight stops, and they are both near smart centers - SLC and DEN.

We regretfully inform you that Big Panda and Deer 1 will NOT be attending the smart Nationals as we had hoped.

It so happens that our Alaskan Cruise is scheduled to begin the same weekend......

Very poor planning and lack of clear priorities!

You taking your smart along as baggage? Nah, wouldn't be a good idea - no place to get it serviced if you hit a moose...
