So lonely in Vegas! (possible Vegas meet?)

I went to a TCCOA meet a few days ago and felt just a tad out of place...





How is it that in a city of 1 million+ there isn't more Fox members!?  The only other Fox I ever see is my old blue 84 Cougar that I sold to a guy a few blocks down.

I'm thinking about organizing a semi-large meet here in Vegas.  Any interest from the Southwest/West coast (and any other) members?  I'm thinking car show, track time, plus whatever else Vegas has to offer.  I'm not wanting to compete with Catjam, I would just like to see something a bit more west for the guys out here.

What do you guys think?

The MN-12's just don't have any character. I try to like them, but just can't do it.

Not looking for anytime soon. I'm thinking a well thought out event planned well in advance.

I loved my Supercoupe, but most MN12s are very cookie cutter to me.  I prefer the class of a Fox to it any day.
