Great thread & great question....now my turn to vent!
The last two times I opened my house up for a free BBQ and invited the entire Sac NSX club, all but two gentlemen showed up. My wife kinda laughed at what a poor joke of a club I belonged too- and she's right. Maybe I should've mentioned a photo shoot with import models, free Meguiars for your chromies, and all the LEDS you can install on your NSX for a better turnout.
After 2 yrs of ownership and member of NSXCA, I personally think a good turnout is about 5-10% of the club's entire membership. A club is only as good as its members and volunteers. How bad did it get? ie) When Tom Kohrs stepped down, only one member volunteered to become his successor (bravo). Even the election of officers was a complete joke.
Like Jack mentioned, I envy how the Vette, Z, etc. are so busy with events - what a shame.
So do I attend every posted event? Of course not. But the 2-3 hrs of free time that I get for myself (away from family life, work, other hobbies) is better spent driving my NSX. In fact, the friends that I'm made at the track are the friends that I have now included in my own circle. So to answer the OP's question, many have tried to organized events only to be let down by the poor turn out.
Let's not worry about putting too much mileage on our beloved NSX, getting a rock chip here/there, parking out of sight, etc. because the bottom line is the NSX is a car and this is a car club, so if anyone want to start a spirited drive then count me in damn it...
