How far off are you thinking and for how long ?
How about a three day event. Friday, Saturday & Sunday with plenty of advance notice to all. June 15-17, 2007 or September 14-16, 2007

Id love to head back close to home and visit AC.


Night time, top deck of the Borgata one night then some music, booze, etc...



So many options :)

I dont know if any members are from that area or close but if anyone wanted to meet up one day we could cruice and check out the area and see about some good places both for photos, meeting up, and even events that might be there.

If folks are staying over, we might even be able to get a group rate on hotels etc...

Dates, Agenda. John has contacted an event planner in Atlantic City and has gotten some great ideas.

One of the buffet breakfest/Lunch would also include coin-cupon for the casinos. I'm also waiting for one of the local dealer's to respond back to me. I hope we can have a big turn out for this

We plan to put a lot of planning behind this event. Afterall its Almost Oct and this event we would want to do March/April which is between 6 to 7 months away. Which means we have plenty of time to plan. More people will join. Plenty of time to promte it. Plus the more you see posts about it. The more intrests there will follow

JESSE
09-30-2006, 11:57 AM
Good deal. I will help. Never helped before, just paid any $ and show'd up.
Let me know what I can help with. May be up in NYC for playoff and hopefully World Series. Gotta go clean car, meeting JoeR at car show tonight. Will post pic's tonight..

Have you contacted the "events planner" yet..... She may already have this kind of stuff done for you....... the place she recommended, I think, is a great place to have a show, I have been to shows there before, plenty of room and things to do. A.C. is only about 12 miles away.

Let me know if you want me to talk to her....

There is ALOT more to this than picking a date and showing up.....contracts, licenses, permit, insurance fees, parking, hotels, places to eat ( not evey restuarant will be able to accomadate 50 to 100 people at the drop of a hat), on-site vendors, sponsors, judges, clean up people, bathrooms, shall I continue...... I have done this before and I have helped set these things up, slow down alittle, I promise, it WILL come together....trust me.....

No need to worry about the planning part. We hooked up with an event planner in AC who will be helping us put this event together. :D All we need to do is provide her will our ideas and she will take it from there. Her knowledge,contacts & ideas will help us get this event off to a good start.
I believe We scored BIG on this find. :thumb: Then it will be up to US to show up.. When all is said & done it will be one hell of a meet. :banana::beer: :banana: :banana:

Hey I think I see my tent out ther in one of those pics. I happen to be down there at the same time HHRDE was down there. I was camping on the beach with the boy scouts. I gotta tell you, I'm not much of a PT fan but there were a lot of nice cars out there. I was thinking how sweet it whould be for us to have our HHR's out there.

If it is a three day event as mentioned...it gives ppl the opportunity to do any of the different events. I would believe you have a better chance of a greater attendance overall this way too. They can do all three days, or just the friday run...just the dealer meet...or whatever. Im in western Maryland..so about 6 hours away...but Id be in for at least the Saturday meet and then hit the tables baby!...Booyah!

How about an informal dinner than short cruise for friday evening. Those arriving Friday can meet for dinner (fast food, diner) then we could all take a small cruise together in the area. This could be a greet,eat and cruise!

I have given the following dates to the event planner to see what's available at the Smithville location, I am waiting to hear back from her. We should probably start getting a solid head count of people who will be coming for 1 day or all 3. Maybe create a poll?
