Welcome! I live in Bartlett. You shouldn't have any problem getting any information you need in your rebuild. Be sure and post your progress with us in the TN Chapter.

When Greywolf was the TN chapter leader he tried several times to get a local GTG. I think he (or at least someone) had to "eat" a lot of hamburgers after a meet was planned and didn't get visited. Hopefully it will happen, but it at least needs to be "BYOBurger". And this when we've had a few local cruise nights, one that's right here in Bartlett every Thursday night at the Bartlett Centre. It probably won't get much traffic until next spring now, but the few I got to go to this summer had a lot of car/people - even a couple of nice Ford trucks. I think there is a least 10 Memphis area members that come by from time to time. I would like to put a face with the posts, but I work a lot of weekends (3rd shift at that).

Good "seeing" Memphis250. At least we can chat!

You can start by having a GTG at an event that was already planned live the cruise night.
You can pick up new chapter members that way pretty easy. Then get them to join and 'voila you have an instant west coast meet. And you guys can keep in touch here and have many GTG's.

Just a few thoughts. Good luck.

Well it wouldnt matter to me that one or 20 came, just as long as we got to meet and hang out or tinker on things. I can host it at my big house and I am sure memphis250 will make it, since I have my own dart board haha
