No more than it is already-2 days driving time

Hve some of these already

This is already an option-not hard to find a "more reasonable" motel SOME 
distance away from the host hotel...Last time I stayed in the host hotel was 
Daytona (2000)...cost of the room times days I wanted to spend was why I 
didn't stay in the host hotel at Lexington

Long weekend maybe, Thurs/Fri thru Mon maybe

 Haven't trailered my Corvair yet, to a convention or otherwise.  For one 
really far away, I might be tempted to drive a waterpumper that gets better 
mileage and NOT drive my Corvair (please forgive me, Smitty)

> What events at Meets will help to "motivate" you to attend?

Seeing my VV and CORSA buddies, vendors, looking at everyone else's Corvair

The price of gas mostly motivates me to get better mileage out of my 
Corvair, possibly to the point of building/buying another motor.
