Hey Guys
It sounds like we are the Region that has it. Mid-Central region
We now have a South Central Region name MEMORY-X who wants to get in with a crazy Mid-Central HHR owners. Well I welcome him with opens arms. I think this is great.

Oh yea OLDSCHOOLfreak thanks for the kind words. I just want to say that MEMORY-X has a good Idea. This is what I think should happen. When all of the Good Sites that

(Pat) Scaleguy was talking about a lot of Great Locations for our Big Bash 2007 and when all of the Information is put out w/ Location & options.

Then we should have a posted Date & Time for every one who wants to go, anfd they must vote for their favorite pick! Then the one with the most votes win's. I am sure that the winner will be Some were in the middle of the following states, IN, IL, WI. MO, OK

I am looking forward to the Big Bash of 2007. I honestly think it wil be a larger turn-out then i imagine! Cant wait to see everyone again!

Oh Yea! OLDSCHOOL stay out of trouble!!!!

 

you guys do the research and give us the lowdown...cool

 

Okay now the fire has been lit it is time to roll...GDZ is going to Branson this weekend, when can you have your research ready GDZ? I am asking because we need a deadline for this location decision so we can get busy...Once we decide on a location we need a date. I can have my research on spots by the end of September so if GDZ and Memory-X can be ready by then I say lets present everything on the first weekend of October then put it up for a vote. We will then need everyone to work their calendars, there is going to be plenty of lead time, but we need to know so we can get this run listed...everywhere. Once the date is set then we will need a flyer (we can work a nice design especially if we have any photoshop experts, if not I can freehand something or get us help via photoshop from my kid or somebody at work) and sponsor requests forms (I have these). We are going to need to decide on judging criteria and get those judging forms printed to insure that we are doing the most fair job of judging possible. With these issues being covered we can start a media blitz, I have done this before and have good ideas, and the rest of the committee members can come up wih more inventive stuff too...We can also involve the folks from Musclecar Magazine I am in contact with them almost daily and sent them a good story on the 1st Big Run. This should get us through to January. After the first of the year we can inundate the sponsors with printed, electronic, telephonic and face to face contacts...the goal, massive goodie bags, door prizes to make every other car event jealous and sponsors for our trophies so we can get bigger better trophies for year 2...Also we can work on other SEMA and high dollar builds as exhibitors it was great having Driftwood...I propose setting up a vendor's area to invite vendors in (nominal fee) to sell related parts, goodies t-shirts, maybe a glass etched, pinstriper, airbrush artists, Hey I know how to contact The Discovery Channel...you never know what I might be able to pull off...Here We Go !!! Warning to the commitee I tend to get really amp'd when I get into something like this...

 

Thanks Oldschool, you know that I love this stuff and since I have been involved since I was a kid I have some experiences to draw from. We can do great things with a strong committee and knowing that everyone of us is really into what we are doing. I will do eveything that I can and give my best to whatever we do...I kinda; like you guys a little !!!

 

No way I can do it by then. Don't really know what I'm doing and we're only gonna be there one day. I'll do what I can, but I need some (read a LOT!) of help.

Again, what should I be looking for, where should I go, what should I ask?

 

Hey Scale, what ever happened with the magazine article, pics, Did I miss something, or forget to contact someone to get a copy...?

 

If I could make one suggestion.....

Let's get this next Bash done. To be on the scale we really want we'll need at least a year to build it. I also think we might consider trying to do an annual event that is annual.

We talked a little about doing something with a charity at a super-speedway. That will take more than a one-off comittment to be pulled off. But it would also get more national attention.

I know this is early to talk about 2008 but to do it right we need to start on that now.

 

i'll be ready

 

Mikey get on a phone and hound management people ask to speek to the pr people for things like the speedway or the highest manager that will chat with you then hound them till they say yes we can do somethin like that!! just be flexable with dates etc. cause they may have other events already scheduled.

Thats what i did at whitneys called 3 times a day for like 2 weeks straight and the manager finally called me back and i told him about our great group of hhr nuts and he said it would be great!! if we wait till 08 the national run will steal our thunder bud!! this is gonna be a 1 shot deal for us to round up as many hhr owners in america that wanna come to attened our 07 annual!! I think some things turn out best when dune by the seat of our pants!! LOL

 

Mike are workin on branson for the 07 annual or for 1 of the smaller events?? if for the 07 annual ask for
1 lodging prices location
2 activities are we gonna do a show or just a meet and hang out gathering thing?
3if there are any car related buisnesses in the close vacinity ask them about sponsorship etc.. most non car related places wont care!!
4 if not having a show find out about other crap we can do like a dinner and a show or what ever those kinda things.

those are the things i been workin on for the fall run with deer and iowa
