It would be great to see another Expo happen. Realistically I don't think it will, at least not as it was before. The cars are too valuable now and enough have changed hands that I don't think there would be enough for a good showing at any event (as-in the owners tracking them). The only way forward as I see it is bringing in the CTR guys. How to do that I have no idea. Until that community can be grown I think a piggy back event is best. Or drop the track part of it and make it a purely social event, though again with the new crop of collector/speculator owners that could be a challenge.
To answer the questions someone posted, I don't have an ITR but will pay to track my car, but nowhere near the $1,250 price point. I also would not pay $500 to spectate. Expo has always been a grassroots event and a top tier track was never a prerequisite (from my perspective). I think The Firm would be a good place for it. It's definitely not well known so the track isn't a draw, but a small Expo there should be much cheaper than other tracks, the location isn't bad and a return-to-roots sort of event could be just the thing for community building.
This is just my current-thinking $0.02.
