That might be a good thing to strive for, if they aren't there already. I've been through there a couple of times outside of the rally, and it is somewhat of a ghost town. There is a lot of resentment among the locals, in that all of the money to be made during the rally is made by vendors that swoop in for the rally and then leave. The town and surrounding areas put up with all of the hassles involved with half a million people descending upon them for a couple of weeks, but reap very little economic benefit from it. Maybe if they can make it into some sort of a destination spot for this sort of thing, they can set things up a bit more permanently and reap some benefit from it. Who knows, maybe they already have. It's been damn near 20 years since I have been there.
