I think we've long since had the "competition" side down pat - keep on doing that. Get out to auto-x's, track events, karting, etc. Do a Summit Point karting day (sorely needed). Do another one of those college autocross-a-thons. But yeah, I think the "camaraderie" aspect is where work struggles to get done. So...
Somehow, someway, organize a trip to the Tail of the Dragon. At a time when it won't suck to be there due to weather or traffic, which shouldn't be too hard. I was just reading about a guy who drove all the way from Texas to drive it, which reminded me that its something I always wanted MM to do, and us being (relatively) close, we don't have an excuse not to.
We stopped doing Skyline Drive cruises for some reason which I miss as well.
Do some tours of FOW/race shops like back in the day.
Organize some sort of annual trek/gathering (including TOTD or SD?) to a cool place for food and beverages, or a party, or something worthwhile. "MM Fest 2k11" or something like that.
