Hey Ron,
My two cents. This'll be my first Gathering, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
The events sound fun. I'd probably be interested in drag racing, and I'd maybe be interested in the road racing. Personally I'm not that interested in autocrossing. The problem with drag racing and road racing, though, is that it's 675 miles from my house and I have to drive my car home at the end of it.
The mileage also make Wednesday events a little less feasible. Being that one day is spent driving, that basically turns it into a week of time off vs an extended weekend.
The Poker Run or just a drive or whatever would be fun, and whatever the food events are, I'm fairly indifferent to, I'm sure if everyone's there it'll be fun wherever it is. I'm no fan of gravel roads, but it sounds like it's not that big a burden.
For the RC cars, do people already own them or something? Or do you rent them? Or how's that work?
The dyno challenge doesn't seem like it would be much of a challenge. I suspect 90% of us know our car won't be the most hp, the most tq, the most anything. And as Jeff mentioned, those of us that want to know the dyno number probably already have had it done. While it's cool they have a portable one, and dynoing is certainly a "car" thing, I'm not surprised they have low participation. Dynoing as a tool is more about repeatable testing, which means using the same equipment. If you got a baseline with them, then went home and added some mods a few months later, what would you do, go try to track them down at the next event they go to for the "after" run?
Having never been, I've no affection for or opinion on the date. If it works better to change it, change it.

We wouldn't have to start wearing collared shirts, would we?
