    That's where I was born and raised! Know pretty much every inch of that place. It rains a lot there though, as you can tell by the "winter" olympics being held all around it right now!

    Most things are cheaper in the states, go down there load up on a few thousand $'s of parts. :D

    for 1

    theres actually 2 already

    1 is offroad based and the other isnt...

    TTORA has takeover...and CT has tacoberfest


    i attempted to get something together last year but theres a lot of disagreement as to where it should be

    everyone wants it close to them and no one could find a suitable place...and a bunch of people couldnt wrap their heads around it not being solely based on offroading...and a lot of people wanted vegas but thats not really a family friendly atmosphere...

    it needs to be somewhere where people can bring their families if they want

    Haven't been back there is about 5 years (parents moved out of town) Closest I've been lately is Pemberton on a motorcycle trip last year. Ya Cat lake/brohm ridge was one of my favorite play areas.

    I suggest Tacoma, Washington as the first place it should be held. Its out of the way for most of you, but think of it this way, you get to drive your truck there...:)

    Silly comment. Outside paying your own way to get there (and maybe buying crap/ mods from sponsors)... everything would be assembled by the cash-money through the sponsors.

    Thanks for locating that. I forgot it was called Tacoberfest.

    The thing is... when Arizona, California and Texas have their local GTGs they carry more in attendance than Tacoberfest. Tacoberfest just needs more push. I've seen photos. Not impressed.

    ^^ ditto. it needs to be more regionalized. one "huge" one for the entire country will not draw the crowd of 4-6 across the country in key areas.
