Just wondering from the LOG attendees where LOG 30 is going to be??

Gettysburg, PA

I'll be there. It's only 2 hours from my home.

 

[Yeti]

I would guess that the track day would be at Summit Point??

You're kidding! Is there some historical or membership aspect of LOG that keeps it away from the West Coast? It seems heavily biased towards the East for some reason. Given how many Lotus owners are in the West that seems kind of crazy. I mean really, this is two years in a row that LOG is virtually impossible for anyone in the West to drive to.

You better be there...

Indianapolis is the east? :shrug: And wasn't LOG 27 in Colorado?

Why the hell are these on the east coast. The last 3 have been in eastern states. WTF

I guess I'm not going to LOG 30 either

How the hell do they decide where it will be held?

 

[LotusDuude]

LotusDuude will be there:up:

San Diego is just far from anywhere. Even if it was being held in Seattle you'd still be 1200+ miles away... Make like Randy Chase and fly out there, buy a new car, and drive it back


It's not like these places are close to me either !!!!

Proposals are submitted to the National Lotus Limited by local chapters. A committee of the national group reviews and awards the LOGs.

Agree with earlier post that to us easterners, neither Indiana or Colorado are considered eastern states. All depends on perspective. We were wondering why those two were held in western states! That's what happens when you live on either coast.

Strongly recommend actually joining and getting involved in a) national Lotus Limited, then b) your closest local chapter and then working towards a proposal for a future LOG. I believe proposals actually have to come from recognized Lotus Ltd. chapters, not a group of otherwise unaffiliated Lotus enthusiasts.

Indiana not an Eastern state?! :huh: Perhaps you should study geography a little more, Indiana is well east of Lebanon Kansas, which is the geographical center of the US :shrug:

Colorado is a bit more centrally located, albeit slightly west biased.

I couldn't find a list of the locations of past LOGs, but Alabama is pretty darn east, and so is PA, St Louis, and Boston (which was the only one I ever attended), but it has always appeared that the LOG's are eastern biased.

Matters not though since there is a West Coast meet. Perhaps they should be divided into east and west events? :shrug:

Indiana is considered a central state. Perhaps you should actually try driving there from a real eastern state just to see how far it really is.


Indianapolis is about 160-170 miles southeast from Chicago. Do you consider Chicago to be an eastern city? Most don't.

I have, several times

 

[serpent]

I have, several times

well, then you know its not close

 

[Bavarian Motorist]

Then you know it's more central (or if you follow the NFL, it's part of the south).

 

[mopho]

well, then you know its not close

I never said it was, I said it is on the eastern side of the US

I'll admit east coast people are spoiled by being so close to most surrounding states, so maybe to a west coast guy, 700 miles (NY --> IN) isn't a lot, but it is to us.


2800 miles from San Diego to PA is a lot though.

I agree
