I'm looking to do one probably in Mar or early Apr. Just not sure if it'll be local or back in San Luis Obispo again.

Hey Tony, for sure I think the spring SLO meets are the best since the weather is more appealing to be out and about. Either way SLO has always been fun.. even if the last meet my drive time was 6 hours and only 2 hours at the bbq.
