A manual type poll re. a few choices to be made:

smokey442, good to see you here.

Smokey suggested Sunday (Oct 26) might be better than Saturday, and also suggested Worcester.
I'm good either way. I want to see how to get the largest number of people attending our little event.

Here's a low-tech poll

We need to decide a few things.
Everyone interested in joining us, I hope you'll please answer these questions.
You can post here, or send me a pm if you prefer.

1) The Date
I prefer Sat Oct 25
I prefer Sun Oct 26
I'm good with either

2) The City
Let me know Yes/No, whether each of these would work for you.
You can say "Yes" to any or all of these.
Springfield, MA
Worcester, MA
Albany, NY
That way we can settle on the city that works for the most people here.

3) Drive in mpg competition - how much do you guys like this idea?
(Please see first post in this thread for some details)
We could have a 50-mile minimum distance, 75 seems like a lot
We've had thoughtful comments on the idea, need to decide whether to include it in our meetup.

Let me know Yes/No, for these three scenarios (you can say "yes" to all):
I would be in for a drive-in mpg competition
I would be in for an mpg competition loop in/near the meetup area
I would be at the meetup even if there's no mpg competition

Notes re. the drive-in competition idea -

Downside: Different routes for everyone
Upside: You pick your start point and route, so you can use small roads or whatever you prefer. No fair loading your car onto a flatbed!
Upside: After driving an hour or whatever to get to our meetup - with a matching drive to get back home afterwards - you won't be driving another 50-100 miles in the meetup locale for an MPG competition.
