I've heard that various clubs start their ~5 day rallies on a Thursday or Friday in the hopes of getting younger folks (ie, working stiffs) to come to the rally.
Ironically, this makes it much more difficult to get there if you have to plan around limited time off and some distance.

For example, we're about 870 miles away from Tuscon. If we drove 435 miles a day, we'd have to leave Thursday April 5th at the latest, and wouldn't return until late on Friday the 13th at the earliest in order to attend the whole rally.
Not exactly a leisurely pace, and it will use up 7 vacation days.

If the rally ran Monday through Friday or Saturday, we'd have a weekend on either side for actually getting there and back, and
would end up only needing 5 vacation days.

So, what do other folks think? Would having future rallies Monday through Friday be better for working folks?
