The choice of places boils down to partipants in the planning and execution.
There is ALOT of work that goes into the event which equates to alot of time.
I was involved in SS06 that we had in York , PA and know how much is involved. Most can not even imagine the things that are done before AND during the event to make it enjoyable for all.
I give Kid and the Iowa boys alot of credit for taking this by the horns and KNOW that it is going well out there. Sure wish I could have made it.

So, if you would like the event in your area, it will take a group effort by one of the chapters to vie for the chance. Wishin' and hopin' won't get it done. But having a serious and I mean serious effort by a group of people could make it possible to sponsor the event.

In the meantime, gather up your chapter members and throw a mini SlickStock. One of our members, Wyatt, throws a big shindig every year at his place and draws in nearly 20 slicks each summer.

I vote Australia as long as Alan buys the beer

Farther east would be better for me also.

We tried to talk Alan into having it and letting all of us stay at his house but he said something about a camp ground.

Dudes and Dudette's, camping in Australia involves man eating Koala bears, large hostile poison spiders, deadly snakes and Abbo's who want to sleep in your Humpy.
I went through survival training at South Command in Panama in '67 and it was really ugly, but at least I could eat some of the local wild life.
Pretty much not so down under. The wild life pretty much eats you.
I'll pass on the camp ground in Australia, thank you.
Alan mate, you, Lyn and the rest of your Yobbo's from Oz need to come back to the US where we have civilized snakes, air conditioning, and BBQ, and we'll buy the beer.
U@ss

C'mon Uncle Skip, it isn't that bad! Hey we've survived this far! Although you did forget to mention the great white shark, Tiger sharks, crocodiles and of course the Dingo.....

Besides, I could drive mine to SS if it was on Oz!

leeroy, like i was saying to mac (alan), i think all of those deadly creatures is god's way of saying "keep out". lol.
that being said, i would love the opportunity to visit Australia. even if everything there including the birds is poisonous.

Yeah I never beleived the birds here were poisonous, until I saw whats it's 'doings' did to the paint on my wifes focus.... GRRRR

lolol! same thing here. a little sunshine and a bird turd can really ruin a man's day! (or at least his paint job).

Well regardless the countdown for 2012 is on. I tried to convince my wife at dinner last night that we need to spend our time, energy, and money on the Green Machine so its ready for SS. I got the feeling she wasn't completely on board as much as she should be. But regardless I'll be there and hopefully my Slick will be to.

Uncle Skip I was in Panama the same time you were. I had all those dangerous animals and insects as pets. But I would not sleep with them

Use to go watch the beasties in Gatun Lake, Fort Clayton. I think Oz would be a great place to have SS, but can we get a group discount on tickets. I could buy 2 trucks for the cost of a ticket.
See you all in 2012
