Not a bad idea at all! I'd be in for a meet in NV, and maybe even CO (CO only if FSM supplies the whiskey though )

We have been talking about a Raptor Run in Nevada. I'm waiting for the Nevada team (Mark and Chad and Franko and even Richie) to get back to me with input and suggestions. Perhaps by then the 6.2s will be out and we'll have a larger group. Plus the Nevada location may help bring folks from outside of CA and NV.
