hey gang,
i wanted to get some feedback on a few things. we are not looking to make radical changes to the event, pretty much just tweak what we have going on and concentrate on sponsorship and promotion for the event.

General:
we are looking to hold the meet the same time of year next year. one thing we will definately do is make sure that we have a very clearly defined schedule as that seems to have been a point of confusion this year.

we also will do our best to get a chassis dyno into the meet since the feedback on that was so strong.

another suggestion that will be looked into is some sort of a mist tent/cooling off station for everyone
look for '06 event flyers to be available in january/february to allow more time for distribution/promotion as well.

Car Show:
car show classes will be seperated by gen again, and each gen will be split into Â*a camaro and a firebird catagory.

we woudl also like to expand the number of special awards to be given out. we have a good list going so far: best camaro, best firebird, best engine/engine compartment, best wheels, best paint, best interior, best in car entertainment, best conversion/engineering, and best chrome.

one big addition that we are looking to persue next year is teh addition of a "show and go" class. this will allow everyone to see everything that the really well rounded cars have to offer.

the expansion of the classes and the addition of more special awards is completely dependant upon sponsorship.

voting will once again be done by the spectators and participants of the event. there will also be a line on teh ballot added so that each person can vote for best of show specifically.

Drag Racing:
seems like the response and participation in teh 4 brakcet classes this year was about equal. they will likely remain unchanged. we are looking into the possibility of adding an additional bracket class for those running electronics.

heads up is a class that we are really looking to tweak a little. the existing class received good feedback and was rather well participated. one possibilty that we are looking at is to maybe add the "registered and insured" rule back into the existing heads up class and then offering a second heads up class that is restricted only by tire size and stock type suspension.

we will also persue sponsorship for some special awards for the racers. things like: best 60ft, best et, highest trap speed, closest to dial, best package, best wheel stand, and best/most glorious failure.


let me know what you guys think of these ideas. the sooner we get a solid plan in place the sooner we can start chasing sponsors, vendors, dynos, and everything else to make this a great show.

later
