Spring training weekend sounds like a good idea.
Especially, if we can have it a month or so before the Nationals. (The
nationals has been in mid April.)

Regional race *series* should be an ultimate goal (there's one in the
west coast. why not in the east??), but I am wondering how long will be
our "season" intersecting the school semesters. In my area the earilest
race is in mid June and the last one is in the mid Sept. (Finger Lakes),
which means September is the only month we can do the race locally
during the semester!
