Default Gauging interest- national meet?

I want to see what the likelihood of a good turnout for a national meet would be. I’d hate to set up plans and get the ball rolling only for 6 people to show up. I’d probably set things up somewhere in the middle of the country, maybe in the meeting point of Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa. If anyone knows of a good place that has maybe an off-road area nearby, let me know.

I'm interested. It would depend heavily on the timing and such, but I should be able to make a weekend trip work up to Missouri or something. The new job I'm looking at getting I'd likely be buying a travel trailer so to drag up for a weekend and make a trip with my two dogs wouldn't be unreasonable. Middle of Kansas is about 10 hours from my parents house (where I'm at currently).

This would be something I'd like to attend. It would be something to consider trailer parking close to, or elsewhere in the venue itself for those of us who might be travelling to additional destinations during that time...

I would be interested. I've mentioned meeting up for a track day at Gateway International Raceway. It is on the border of Illinois/Missouri. 10 minutes from Saint Louis.

Here is an area that has an off roading area and also lots of campgrounds and other great things to see and do. When I was in the Army we used to take the HMMWVs and FAVs out there to put them and us through the paces. (and maybe have some fun)

I’m not sure yet. If the interest isn’t there, I’d say sometime this summer.
