Car show inquiries

[bigchris]

I am hosting a performance show at legacy and would like everybody input. Please post your ideas and thoughts on what you would like to see or partake in. Please only serious inquiries. Thank You!

[theboostedsnail]

first of all what exactly you mean by performance show???

[Filthy Dub]

x2 ^

[carguy07]

Yeah man some more info would be great. A car show at Legacy sounds like a good idea, and most people on the forum would be happy to support it.

Couple ideas off the top of my head:
Do you have a date in mind?
What kind of car classes are you looking at having?

[jasonball]

who is I am. Is there a cuase or charity, also curious as to performance? also curious about classes? Price? date?

Your post is very vague. sparks interst but need more info.

[bigchris]

wella lot of people on this site probally already know me. I used to be with team apostle but i am no longer affiliated with them. I have currently started my own club called eXtreme Customs. I have been missing or awhile due to i was deployed. When i say performance show i am meaning all types of vehicles meaning all types of cars old and new, bikes, minitrucks any and everything that has wheels. My date is set for July 17. This will be the second annual twin cities showdown. I will be hosted by my club and extreme paint body. Next week i have a meeting with foxy 105 to get them as a sponsor and im sure that will open up the doors for a lot of things. Right now i am looking for sponsors and vendors to give out freebies and sell different types items. If there are any interested or no of someone please let me know asap. Not giving anything to charity nor do i have a cause planned for right now but that could change. Im not going to say it will cause im not going to promote it will be and people be dissappointed ya know. So my questiond for you guys right now are:
What type of classes would you like to see?
What type of events?
What kind of freebeies would you like to get?
50/50 raffle?
Indoor portion?
charge spectators?
range of registration fee?
trophies,cash prize, or both?
if cash prize how much?
Thats all for right now im sure i will have some more later. If you have some ideas or some questions for me please post and i will answer them in a timely manner. I will have a flyer soon and would ask for everyone to pass it out everywhere and will provide you with a large amount of flyers if needed. This show is for everyone to show our scene is just as big as any other scene. To show we can have huge show here to instead of going to panama city or atlanta. SO please comment. The more ideas and feedback the more successful i can make this show. Thanks in advance for all the support.

[carguy07]

What type of classes would you like to see? Two options here, you can either do top 25,50, etc. or split up. I greatly prefer splitting up the classes. In general, I think doing it by brand would be better than by country of origin or type. A minitruck should be able to compete with a muscle car in a general class, as long as the judging is fair. The type could be best of's (Best Sport Compact, Best Muscle, Best Truck, etc.).

What type of events? Good question, let me think more about this.

What kind of freebeies would you like to get? Whatever the sponsors can get to us. The CCS show hit us with some random cheapo stuff, but it was still a nice gesture.

50/50 raffle? yes. You can always raise some good money doing this.

Indoor portion? Maybe a nice AC'ed place to go relax, but nothing else crazy.

charge spectators? No, the $1 you could make per would be better put into the 50/50 raffle.

range of registration fee? $10-$20 depending on the number of trophies

trophies,cash prize, or both? I think trophies would be fine, as long as they are nice trophies.

if cash prize how much? Iffy here. I would rather you take the proceeds and donate it charity or towards the next year's show, but a cash prize for best of would be a good alternative.


July 17 should be good. And just remember this is my personal opinion, and nothing more.

[jasonball]

so what I'm taking is so far yo uhave a date set.

will this might be a great oppurtunity for aep.

[carguy07]

so what I'm taking is so far yo uhave a date set.

I'm thinking the same thing. Definitely interested in seeing where this goes.

[jasonball]

the whole show is up in the air right now. I would move this to private for until more of it is put together. that way people don't see the uncertainty of the show until it is more put together.

[Kevo]

In my opinion if you going to charge for ANYTHING you better have some kind of charity lined up and have them @ the show some way or another. Children's Miracle Network is a great cause and stays local plus they give out the big balloon for events from time to time.

I would also suggest getting a hold of the PRESIDENT of the local clubs and try to get their support. Therefore you know at least their cars will show and it won't be a complete bust.

[theboostedsnail]

i agree im not payin out of my pocket to put it into someone elses instead of a charity...for me a charity is a must or i wont be there

[bigchris]

great keep the comments and questions and coming.

[bigchris]

K everyone here is another update to the infamous show. On Friday i am going to leagacy and map out the site for the show i am going to move it as far back as i can so we can have the most room possible. Also i signed on a proffessional photographer today. His business name is Caasi. he will be taking top of the line pics of the whole event. Also he is throwing in a free photoshoot of your car and a supermodel. I havent figured out how i want to give it away yet right now im thinkin it will go along with a trophy for the best in show. let me know what yall think i should do remeber this is for yall since i cant even enter my car.

[jasonball]

just by looking at the thread your really need to figure out classes or top 50 or soemthing. becuase that is your base for a show then yo build from there.

[bigchris]

alright sorry everyone on not giving any updates on the show. The most mentioned thin was the classes. The show will be open to all cars, trucks, and bikes. they will all be broken down except for the bikes. the trucks will be broken down only if enough diferent types of trucks like mini trucks and suvs show up if not then they will be combined into one class. the cars will be classic, tuners, donks, muscles, and so forth. i have someone helping me break down the classes as we speak if you have any ideas on how i should break down the classes please let me know. I am working on the flyer right now and should have a copy to post on here in about a week. The trophies will be broken down into top 3 of each class. special awards will be given out for best in show, best in paint, up and coming, and team participation. Also the will be a db drag and trophies for top 3. Also as i mentioned aboe a photoshoot with a model will be also awarded to the car that places best in show. Right now i am looking for any business taht would like to get involved and offer some kind of freebies and i will add them to my flyer. these flyers will be all over the internet and in the stretts of every town or city i can get to in up and coming months and also there will be advertising on the radio stations. This show is about to be really big and im asking that all help me spread the word. if you got any quaestions please post so i amy answer them.

[carguy07]

Please have a Domestic Tuner class. I 100% won't enter if I'm competing against muscle cars.

Potential cars for this class:
Ford Focus
Ford Escort
Dodge Neon (SRT-4)
Chevy Cobalt
Chevy Cavalier
Ford Probe
Saturn Ion
Pontiac Grand Prix
etc.

Is there anyway to get a hold of the NOS vender again. Me 8> NOS

[jasonball]

I still have her number.

I'm with the others. there has to be a charity for me to attend.

[bigchris]

well idont think i will be givingto charity due to the cost output. as of right now i would only break even so what money would go to charity. Jasonif you dont mind can i get the Nos vender number and also any other people you might think would like to sposor or give out freebies

[jasonball]

No becuase I don't think any one would like to sponsor an event for personal gain. companies have money for charitable donations not for you or any other person trying to make a buck.

if cost of the out put is your issue then you need to rethink how you plan on putting on a show. club wars car show didn't cost a thing to any one acept me. but by putting on that show out of my pocket and it being a sucess. that gained interest for future shows that I did. When we did our show at legacy last year. Rides for a Reason. We donated everything that came for the show to charity. I sent out a money order of 1900+ to the organization. So it can be done. we had tons of classes and kick ass trophies along with one of a kind best ofs.

[SecondLetter]

Lol.
if you put on a show just to show off and have no cause behind it, cause thats what it sounds like you want to do, no one will show, and you def wont break even. People can do that on weekends for free at hang out spots, they wont do it to put money in your pocket or to prevent you from losing money.

[Kevo]

well idont think i will be givingto charity due to the cost output. as of right now i would only break even so what money would go to charity. Jasonif you dont mind can i get the Nos vender number and also any other people you might think would like to sposor or give out freebies

Word of warning, if you don't have a charity and people find out, don't expect a good showing. There is a local club still trying to get rid of that image and I don't believe you want that. People still today will NOT attend there shows due to this...

[BlazinAzian]

Agreed, just as Jason said you're idea will work cause its been done before with great success but it needs a cause behind it. Thats what gets people there. If no cause, its nothing more than people gatthered in a parking lot. Not trying to discourage, just trying to no have your time wasted.

[bigchris]

k i think people are misunderstanding what I am trying to do. I have a question for all though why is the need for a charity so large seriously. I mean if there was a large car show going on you really would attend cause there aint no charity involved. The show i am going to have is going to one of the biggest shows ever to hit columbus. I have a lot of people that want to get involved. Also Jason i dont beleive you payed for all those trophies yourself you had help somewhere and at my show there will be a whole lot more given out then what was at club wars. My show is being advertised all over atlanta and alabama and even further. I not just trying to have a local show i want it to be staewide and i am asking for help to make it more successful. Right now the talks are making the show more than one day and have artists and bands come and perform. Im not trying to make money im just trying to host an event that everyone will enjoy to the fullest. Pretty much something for everyone. If I am only breaking even then im not making any money im just getting back what i put into it. I understand all what you guys are saying if i was just trying to have a small show to get people together to hang out and stuff like my show last year but there is a lot of work and money being invested into this show and i think some failing to relaize that. Im trying to have are very own spring fling show here. I hope all will understand what i am saying and not take offense to any of what i am saying. A matter of fact i would ask that people call me and tell me there concerns instead of posting on here if you are very serious about what your saying. I would like to hear what you have to say so while i am still planning i can take into consideration what people are saying. My name is chris and my number is 706-304-0548.

[theboostedsnail]

the need for a charity is so largely needed beacuse if some asked you to give them 20 bucks for you to come sit in a parking lot that you could sit in for free and you knew it was just goin in there pocket you wouldnt do it correct??? Its not that we would like to see you lose money its that there needs to be a cause that benefits of helps someone...i understand the wanting to break even totally but if you aint got the money to shell out for a huge show then dont host a huge show. Also you could find a sponsor/vendor that would cpver some of the cost if all proceeds from contest entrees went to charity...the main point being it doesnt cost you anything for someone to bring their car there so why you should you pocket their money...i understand the renting of a lot, which a good vendor would cover, but in all honesty like said many times before if you do host this show with no charity you prob wont get a turn out and make a bad name for yourself/ club, which in turn will cost you more...but thats just my 2 cents

[jasonball]

you brought it to the forums and it is car realted. what a perfect place AEP. you say spring fling here. Guess what spring fling is for charity. I hope you succeed with what your doing. but if you want honest opinions you have to give full details of what is going on. I wasn't talking about the awards at club wars. at the rides for a reason. the trophies were sponsored. where I didn't have pay the sponsor back after the show. it was a donation they could write off for charity. when you first posted you asked for opinions on very geniric ideas. now more details are comming out. don't take this personal all we know is about the show from last year that bombed. So what are we supposed to do support what we don't know. Spring fling in panama city wasn't huge the first few years it was held. It had to grown to the size it is now. so it will take awhile for people to understand there might be something. big going on. so I think people are giving your there opinion and not getting confused becuase you were only giving bits and pieces.


for me. your still not giving out alot of info n this show if you plan on it being huge. you have alot of work todo. good luck.

[carguy07]

I see both sides here. Yeah most local shows are for charity, and then there are series like Nopi, Import Faceoff, etc. that are businesses. The difference I see is they are for profit businesses, with employees and they pay taxes on the income they receive. I think what Jason is saying is you should agree to give proceeds to charity and more people will show locally. No one is saying you can't break even, but saying I'm gonna keep any profit I might make is going to make some people wonder.

[SecondLetter]

also, if you want it to be a 2 day event and biggest thing to hit columbus, include a dyno and awards for highest hp for each class
And if you want advice on throwing a good show in Columbus, Jason Ball is telling you the truth, i've gone from being in cars shows with him years ago to watching him throw events, he knows what hes talking about

also, as much as some people wont admit for personal reasons ( not me though, ive liked them since they had their first shop ), you might want to get Jason from PTAP involved, so far he's thrown a car show every year for a very long time and he has the most sucessful car parts business in Columbus

....and i do believe Jason donates to charity when he does, the country's bbq midnight madness comes to mind, i think he even did a couple years back when he threw that car show ontop of that parking lot downtown ( the first year i starting showing my civic si)

[theboostedsnail]

i agree will i dont see any harm in wanting to break even but if you get the word out and have a good turn out im sure a vendor/sponsor will cover the costs of some of the things like jason said...also on the NOPI thing they are business his car clubs show isnt a business

[jasonball]

what I'm really saying is there win be no cost but minimal to the individual or club that is host and orgainziing the show if you get a charity involved. everythig will be paid for. WHO doesn't want to help those in Need.

I think that is what happened here. you asked what people wanted to see there. they said charity you said NO. what else is there to say.

[theboostedsnail]

^ x2 me and my car club will not be attending without a charity sorry

[bigchris]

k i see what some are saying. But i got kind of angry cause when asked for help on vendors and sponsors to help with the cost then i felt like i was being denied. I have planeed on going up to PTAP to talk to jason and i am lookin ginto a mobile dyno right now. I am doing a lot of the things that all are suggesting. And i feel offended when someone says who doesnt want to help people out in need. Everyday i give the largest self sacrifice by serving my country and have never complained or asked for anything in return. I also donate to a lot fo different charities and i know one thing if any charity it would be for some kind of wounded soldiers program cause i have seen and felt first hand what htat feels and looks like. So i gues sim saying have no problem with donating some, most or even all the proceeds to charity. All i want to do is break even on what i shell out which really isnt even that much. Also i i didnt get clos eminded its just when i asked for help a topic got brought about charity and when i didnt really give a straight answer about it people shut me out completely. I asked for pepole opinions and help i think like one person suggeseted a charity instead of down playing the whole thing. Also someone suggested that i get the NOS vendor there and when i asked for there contact info i got shut down. So what am i supposed to do. I want everyone happy but at the same time i want to be happy at the end knowing it all paid off. So once agin i ask for help with vendors, suggested charities, sposors, anything that could help the show be better. Also i have a proof of the flyer and would like to post on this topic for people to give ther opinion about it.

[bigchris]

how do i post the flyer on here

[jasonball]

before I go into to anything else. what do you have 100% locked down for this show.


I would like to mention. one thing. your a solidier all fine and danding. some of us have also been and given sacrifice. so don't play the I serve my country card.

[bigchris]

proof of flyer let me know what ya think

[bigchris]

what you mean by locked in.

[jasonball]

locked in meaning a 100% for sure it will happen or already completed. deal. Like you have secured the legacy parking area correct.

[SecondLetter]

just an opinion...but i dont think that flyer would attract alot of tuners, from the cars your using to display, it doesnt look tuner friendly, more toward the big rims and donks, which isnt bad for me cause i know a few people who want to show theirs off. none the less, its an eye catcher

[Discontained]

The flyer looks to complicated.

[bigchris]

i have legacy and the date. it might become either a two day event going into sunday though but for sure sat is the day of the show. it could go longer than 5 though if i get this dyno or not. thats about it. I am going to crown trophy next week to get some prices. i got a photgrapher coming out to take pictures of show and he is going to do a free photoshoot with model for winner of best of show. My club will be selling food so thats covered. now im working on my freebies that will be given out.

[bigchris]

the pics in the flyer are my car and 3 members of my club

[jasonball]

try to use a differe array of vehilce. bikes truck old school , muscle tuner. try to get a little bit of everything or just 1 vehicle in general.

maybe take away some of the flashiness and list of some the classes.



to the other post. you have got a lot of work todo if those are the only things you have lined up. might want to figure out your classes before you go to crown. that is the only way to get an accurate quote. I think we were sponsored. 90+ trophies.

[bigchris]

k i will take that into consideration don tknow how the club will react to it but i will run it by them. it make sense what you say. the only thing im concerned with is that it will have to many cars on there.

[Discontained]

Hey Chris let me ask you this, what group are you going after for this show? Tuners, Showers, or Donks? Just curious.

[SecondLetter]

well, you cant play everyone all the time. just look at it like this if no one reads the flyer and just looks at pics
Tuner" man, its nothin but a car show for big bodies and big rims, im not going to show"
old school" its only a car show for newer cars, no need to show"
i say put a pic of each class you want to offer trophies too. i understand your car club wants to be in the flyers...so uh, make multiple style flyers

[bigchris]

the classes i got so far are as follows:
Cars: Classics, Muscle Cars, Import Tuners, Domestic Tuners, Donks, Other
Trucks: SUV, Mini Trucks
Bikes is all in one class

[bigchris]

I want all types some everything. Im doing my thing with getting the tuners, muscles, and imports there and the rest of my club is getting eveyone else there. So i guess i want everyone there.

[theboostedsnail]

alright here are some details that werent presented before so it looks more legit and formal...i agree the flyer looks more appealing to the big rims and donks than modern muscle tuner etc...throw some well known local cars on there of different classes, include thinds like a mustang of course, some sort of euro, i say mikes, a tuner, domestic tuner, and 1 donk. I kno its about makin your club happy but if them bein happy comes at the loss of puttin on a great show becuase of flyers, you dont want that. And i agree with jason dont play the soldier card...we appreciate everything you do for this great country but dont play it onto us, and go look and find a charity that helps wounded and disabled soldiers thats a great and meaningful cause

[bigchris]

i wasnt playing the soldier card i was keepin it 100. It was said who doesnt want to help the needy out like i dont care about people who are in need and im just tryin to get over on people by getting there money. It was immediately assumed that i was not going to give to charity and made this huge deal about it. All i wanted was some help in planning as far as like different vendors that would like to sponsor or whatever they felt comfortable doing. Also i am not the only party involved in this car show. There are legitimate business that want to make money out of the show. Im just one of the partners in making this show. In the end i have the final say so but my scene is different from theres. I do have a tuner myself. So im trying to figure out what the rest of my scene wants so i will make sure it is there. But at the same time i got members in my club who have donks and other tyoes of cars so im trying to combine all of that into one good show. I know it can be done but not without help and advice.

[theboostedsnail]

well idont think i will be givingto charity due to the cost output. as of right now i would only break even so what money would go to charity.


It was immediately assumed that i was not going to give to charity and made this huge deal about it.

thats why everyone said what they said btw and i kno that vendors look to make money thats what their job is lol but good luck with the show hope it works out cause a big show locally would be nice...and if you do get a dyno a must trophy is king of the dyno, highest whp in both N/A and Boosted fields maybe even by 4, 6, and 8 cylinders...IMO

[jasonball]

Maybe you should have sat down with your show leaders and busisnesses and figure that stuff out before announcing a show that isn't even put together. that would have saved you alot headache

[Discontained]

Understandable, its hard to go after every single class on a flyer, especially if you wanted to have it on a flyer. What I suggest is you keep the flyer classy, and simple yet include enough information to attract people. Some good on the flyer as well, and what I mean by that is: Charities, donations, or similar. You could even do a "care package" for the troops overseas. Something to benefit someone else.

I know the whole charity thing has gotten thrown in the air and shot to pieces, which I just want to add this. No car club is gonna go to a show to help another club get money. If you can find a happy medium then you would be good to go. I know pretty much close to nothing on a car show, or anything of that matter I really don't go unless its euro related specific. Everyone has different tastes and trying to get them all in 8 1/2 x 11 is hard. :)

I was not referecing you about who does't want to help I was referencing companies and vendors. stragith up chairty and donations are you selling point for an even like this. I can go to britt or sonic or carver park or cooks hotdogs if I just want to see all types of cars. they don't sell the show. the cuase will.

but after all this talk about charity and seeing where the show planning is at right now. I might spectate.

[Discontained]

Maybe you should have sat down with your show leaders and busisnesses and figure that stuff out before announcing a show that isn't even put together. that would have saved you alot headache

I think correct me if im wrong is what he is trying to do here. Is get idea's, and information on what to be put in the show, as well as suggestions. There is no set date yet unless i missed it.

[theboostedsnail]

there is a set date mr mike ;) but 100% agreed as long as someone is recieving something from the show thats not the host im game...care package i a great idea also

[carguy07]

care package i a great idea also

Care package is an awesome idea. Everyone who brings packaged food, toiletries, magazine, etc. could get put into a raffle to win something. My mom made a care package every week for my brother when he was in Iraq with just random stuff (think Yoohoo, Capri Sun, Skittles) and the Marines in his group loved every one. I'm sure you know the Post Office will send them flat rate, so any proceeds you make could go to mailing it, and buying more stuff. Many companies would happily give something of value for something like this.

Last thing is the flier is very flashy, and it definitely needs a slammed Honda with Rota's and a lip kit on it. Us import fan boys love that.

Great discussion here. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism, as long as everyone takes it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila.

[dean]

I will say this too.... keep in mind that if anyone has sponsors they are fulfilling obligations to, by having classics represented you disqualify the show for them. The majority of the sponsorship I know of do not want their products represented at a show with classics being awarded. Just FYI

[jasonball]

you just lost me with your post can you explain

[98dsm]

Ok from what i read, you had a car show last year that wasn't that successful but this year you wanna go huge. First forget advertising to atl or out of columbus. You are going to big of a show for a town with not so much attraction. A dyno is a waste of money for this show. Whos gonna pay for that dyno? Who in columbus is that fast that most don't know that we would want to see on the dyno? Why would people from atl come here to do something they could do better up there? You see where im coming from, you are wanting to much to happen in a short amount of time for a town thats not even recognize on a large scale. Thats why alot of stuff like nopi is hosted in atl and not columbus. Atl built its name for it which columbus lacks and they didn't do it in one year either. Not trying to discourage you but really rethink everything you are doing because if you are asking jason for so much info then obviously you don't have much experience with this.

[98dsm]

Another thing you have to think about is if your flyer has all or some of the classes then everyone won't show. You also have to think about the crowds you are trying to mix to. No 10sec cars are gonna come to a show with everyone on 24s. And i can guarantee that no one with classics will come either with all that nonsense. I feel with the way its going now that only show cars and bikes will show and a few tuners will enter or just ride by and maybe a few classics. Most guys with classics are old skoolers and they don't want to be at a show with people playing loud music and stuff like that so thats what i mean when i say you are mixing too many classes. So basically is this show family friendly?

[dean]

Okay, I have sponsors for a set of wheels and for an interior LED kit. They will not count a show that awards and registers classics. Any car that is awarded a class trophy from the 1960 or before 1960 immediately disqualifies that show for me as a fulfillment of my obligations to my sponsors. Don't get me wrong, I will still attend as will our chapter of HRC3, but if anyone who normally wants to come to fulfill their sponsorship requirements finds out about this they may not come. The reason my sponsors don't count it is because no body in a classic car (meaning restored to factory condition) is going to put tuner style wheels on their car, nor are they going to put an LED interior neon kit in it. Even though there are tuners and what-not there, because of the presence of registered classics, from what I understand in my contract, it disqualifies the show for me.

[jasonball]

well then you have a wack sponsorship. sponsorship.com or get sponsored or soemthing. becuase face time in the scene to a sponsor is face time. shouldn't matter what. so your also say they will not count a national show like world at wheels. thoese are the best of the best. or NOPI or HIN. I have scene classic pre 60 in all those shows before. who is your sponsorship through.



okay back on topic.

[bigchris]

My show last year was succesfful considering i put it all together in about a month or so. I had a very good turnout of people. This year im trying to double what i had last time. I am starting to see the trend that people dont think i have the show together. I have all the main stuff there now im working on the extras and getting other people input before i finalize some of my ideas. I do like the care package idea. I think i am going to go with that. Im feeling that idea. what i was asking for from people on here was help with the giveaways. any contacts people may have that i can call and hook up with. So here is what is finalized as of right now. The date july 17th, the place legacy, and the time i think i might make it later so people can come either befor ework or after work. The classes are Classics, domestic tuners, import tuners, muscles, donks, suv, mini-trucks, and bikes. Special awards will be as follows Best in Show, Bestin Paint, Up and coming, Most team participation, and top 3 for the DB Drag. The Best in SHow will also receive a free photoshoot with model for there car. Another thing i am going to do is take a group picure with each president of each club and there car and i will enclose that with the car packages that will be going down range. Now what i need from people is some companies names that will help out with the freebies i would like to give out.

[jasonball]

Here is an idea. do like the stangz do for toy for toys. we bring stuff that can go into care packages and that would be the entry fee into the show. and what money you make off of donations and thing you can auction off can help with sending the packages.

[SecondLetter]

uhh, i guess i can dust off my old folder and see who i can find for you, i have contacts with competition clutch, ADR rims and some other companies. Hey Jason, that Spectre performance moved up in the world, i remember they sponsored alot of people Lol

[jasonball]

well one year I got about 10 people sponsored I also wrote there sponsorship program for them.

[dean]

well then you have a wack sponsorship. sponsorship.com or get sponsored or soemthing. becuase face time in the scene to a sponsor is face time. shouldn't matter what. so your also say they will not count a national show like world at wheels. thoese are the best of the best. or NOPI or HIN. I have scene classic pre 60 in all those shows before. who is your sponsorship through.



okay back on topic.

Well I'm sure they would make exceptions for big shows. You know as well as I do no one wants to be seen hating on national shows. Local shows are a different story. When I say local shows, I am talking from the big company's perspective. They have enough people buying their stuff that a small show in Podunk, Al/Ga/Fl whatever isn't even a drop in the bucket for them. I might have misread my contract too. I kind of breezed through it and saw they have stated that a "Classic Car Show" did not qualify. IDK... Let me re-read it and see what it says then I'll get back

[bigchris]

thanks....what do you guys think would be a good time im thinkin about changin the time to 12 - 8 vs 9-5

[jasonball]

8 hour show is extrememly long. in my opion from showing at show to running them.

[bigchris]

I definetly understand that being in the heat for 8 hours is a long time. Im trying to come up with a timeline to where all will be able to participate. I know for a fact legacy doesnt want me out there after dark. So im trying to create a timline where it is cooler outside and when people will be off work. It is going to hot a heck in july and there aint no shade in an empty parking lot. lol. plust that time is included witht registration time. im thinking maybe 2 to 3 hours of registration with the final hour of registration of when the actual show will start for for spectators and the trophy handout and 50/50 raffle being the last hour of the show.

[Kevo]

Reg - 10-12
Judge - 12-2 (depending on amount of vehicles)
Awards - 3-4 tops

[bigchris]

kevo thanks on that hook up i called him and he said hes down so thats one. Does anybody know anyone with a DB meter. Also im looking for a audio shop to get to sponsor.

No problem. Try Jimmy's Car Stereo & Chico's Tint (would be nice if he brought out the Austin Martin). Summit Racing might send down some goodie bags, might be worth looking into. I would get PTAP involved also, I'm sure Jason has some thing to chip in. Call Dan & Nancy Ostman with JAXWAX - 850.832.1560 or email - dnostman@yahoo.com - they will come up from FL and do a demo on their cleaning products, very nice stuff...I don't use anything else on my car.

[jasonball]

look in the phone book for local shops. as I call it sponsors at your fingertips.

I'm all for giving you idea's. but I'm not going to give you your whole list of possoible sponsors.

[Q. Walt]

Do not use "Donks" as a name for a class. A donk is a specific vehicle, 1971-1976 Caprice or Impala, not a style of car. I hate when people do that, and it usually people not involved in the culture. Call 'em "Big Wheels" or whatever, but DO NOT call them donks.

Also, I would like to see a dyno at the event. I would like to know how many horses some of my cars are making, especially my Cutlass. I know a lot of my buddies on big rims that have some hot motors in their cars. Good luck with getting it all together.

good post bro. for as long as I have been around in the scene i didn't know that about "Donks".

[bigchris]

i feel you on that bruh but everyshow i have been to they call them that. the only other one i ever hear of was big bodies. I cant use the term big wheels cause then a truck or something other than what most to refer to as donks. so im wid eopen to any suggestion we can call taht class.

[carguy07]

Big bodies would get the point across. And I must admit I never knew the origin of the word donk. Learn something new everyday.

[bigchris]

i knew it was a specific car meaning the impala but i didnt know a caprice was referred to it either.

[bigchris]

k i need pics of some local well known cars to pu ton the flyer. Im looking for a tuner(import and domestic),muscle car, mini truck,antique/classic, and a suv. please send all your pics to my email at perkiset6200@yahoo.com.

[Q. Walt]

Here's your muscle car. Looks like it's at some shop in Beallwood.

[theboostedsnail]

in the big bodies world there are donks and bubbles, q walt explained what a donk is a bubble is the newer impalas and such but nothin against that camaro but that doesnt appeal to vintage muscle car guys the rims are to flashy you need to keep the rims a tad bit smaller to appeal to them but thats IMHO

Bubbles are there own car as well, 1991-1996 Caprices & 1994-1996 Impala SSs. There are several nicknames for individual cars within our niche, but "Big Wheels"seems to cover them all. I understand what your saying about the Black & White RS, but I don't really have any pictures of muscle cars from our area.

[carguy07]

This is probably the best recent pic I have of my car. Took it this past February. I'll go through my other stuff and see what I can find.

[Filthy Dub]

Damn...that was a lot to read. Definitely want more Euro involvement in the show. At least our own class like in Rides for a Reason. I would try and get some more Euro's to come if you did that.

[bigchris]

k so that wouldivide the tuner into three types right domestic euro and what do you call the honda and the nissans

[bigchris]

my car is aeuro so i got no prob with that.

[theboostedsnail]

i would say import tuner for honda etc but import is a very broad term

[carguy07]

Euro, Domestic, and Import will cover all the tuners. You will have more Hondas than anything else, but most of those around here are not show cars. Euro's never call themselves Imports, so no one should get pissy about the name.

[Discontained]

well that depends lol, sometimes we call the ones who do ricey shit with there cars outcasts tell them they are imports. Just because you drive a car doesn't mean your in the euro scene, EURO scene has a unique style. Nothing over the top.

[Filthy Dub]

^ what Mike said.

[theboostedsnail]

psh mike a unique style like stretched tires and hella flush...weak :peep:

[bigchris]

k cool then then that will be the the classes for tuners then

[theboostedsnail]

good one down lol now when it comes to muscle you have to divide as well...its only two sub categories though you gotta have classic (1950-late 70's) and modern (1980-present)

[Discontained]

psh mike a unique style like stretched tires and hella flush...weak :peep:

actually alot of us dont like stretched tires...

here are a few examples of good taste.

anyway /threadjack lol

[bigchris]

I allready have the classics/atinque class so the old muscles can be in either one. i will let them make ther decision.

[theboostedsnail]

ok good chris...and mike i was only playin wif ya :) all those cars are clean i almost ejaculated over the white on white and black one lol

[bigchris]

so am i considered a euro

[Filthy Dub]

Stance son!

[jasonball]

so am i considered a euro

I wouldn't consider your car a euro.

[bigchris]

then what is it cause volvo is a tuner made in europe

[Discontained]

then what is it cause volvo is a tuner made in europe

*Volvo is a manufacturer in Sweden, granted Sweden is part of the Europe

[jasonball]

well I would say. it started out to be a big body style. you know clean rims, then you decided to throw a crazy paint job on it. that threw in the touch of rice. so I would say you have a even though sweden. that would be a euro.

you have a euro with american styling, a hit of big body wanna be and an icy of jap rice. you have yourself a mutt. lol looks decent though.

[bigchris]

lol the rims i got on it are 18s. wait till yall see the paint ob i got coming up now.

[jasonball]

my theory unless you are killing at big shows. why keep spend money on paint.

[Filthy Dub]

Paint it one color :P then it will be clean. But its your car, I just like clean Euro styling.

[bigchris]

shit i am about to start going to shows now so i will be killing the shows.

[jasonball]

well good luck. you have already miss 1 quarter of the season.

[bigchris]

im talkin for next year can this year to late of a start probally wont have my car ready till late summer.

[jasonball]

might want to find out where the scene is going next year before you spend all the big money and do your car over the summer. I woud wait and finish it up near december that way it will be fresh for hte new show season.

[Discontained]

This is getting a little silly. Everyone learns and everyone needs information... etc. Thats what online forums are for. Helping out, discussions, showing pictures off, whatever it may be...

I feel like this is getting into a E-Dick show here so keep it clean or i will lock the thread. Everyone has there own style, and own ways about going at it.

[jasonball]

that is what I see is a discussion going on about his car show and small side topics.

[Filthy Dub]

YAY EVERYONES GETTING ALONG! Oh wait...

[bigchris]

I htink we are getting along just fine. I dint take offense to what anyone says about what they thik is this and that. Different scenes have different styles. Hawaii scene was crazy as hell talking about every friday and saturday night cruisin to different locations and racing all throughout the night with over like 200 cars. I had a lot of good times there.

[bigchris]

k people keep running inti problems with my flyer.does anybody know someone reliable and fast?

[Discontained]

k people keep running inti problems with my flyer.does anybody know someone reliable and fast?

What?

[bigchris]

i am running into problems with getting a flyer created. The two people i chose both turned out to not be so reliable. I need to get my flyer done asap so i may get them printed and start handing them out. So my question at hand is there anyone that knows someone that designs flyers?

[bigchris]

Everyone let me know what you think

[theboostedsnail]

yea thats alot more tasteful and less crowded, i like it overall :thumb:

[Kevo]

I agree...nice flyer! Let me know if you want me to post it elsewhere?

[Filthy Dub]

x2 looks better.

[bigchris]

There a few minor orrections and once i get the one thats not a proof then i will repost it and eanyone can post it anywhere.

[Schmally]

when and where is this taking place. You need an OEM+ class for lightly modded stocks cars.

[bigchris]

the deatail ar eon the flyer

[jasonball]

I was bored so I read the thread again. why didn't you hold it at the phenix city drag strip. with the connection that wendy and allen have out there. this could have been a dual event. something to think about for your next show.
