Hey guys,

I know we haven't had one for a while. Anyone up for ideas? Lets get something going.... maybe a "Fall Car Meet''? I remember Milo from Austin setup one in the past and it was quite the hit. Lets get those ideas rolling so we could get one of these meets going.

 

So wheres the middle like Austin?

 

aniel you cant go you got to finish my car.

 

Sooo consider....DFW......October 19-21

Man that sounds good. I hope my car is done by then

 

doh! you had to pick oct 19-21 didn't you kelly. just so happens to be one of my best friends wedding. which is in michigan.

 

Sounds great, but I don't think Dallas is really a central location. We've got guys on this site from the valley, Corpus, Houston, S.A. and Victoria. Some area will get lucky and not have to drive, but asking people to drive 8-10 hours to a meet will limit the overall attendance.

 

We always turn out huge numbers of evos at our meets.. I don't see Dallas people wanting to drive that far... IMO when were probley have a larger turn out in Dallas. If we were all going to an event/weekend auto-x, drag, road tour it would be more likely IMO. Not just for a meet. My 2 cents.

 

texas is just too big to make an all state meet. People will get lazy and not drive the extra mile. It would take a city some incentive to go to a meet

 

Ummmm...aren't you the person that started this thread as "All State meet anyone?"

 

I absolutely agree; very few of us have been able to make out of town events, but having faced the same challenge in sailboat racing nationwide, we couldn't ignore these guidelines:

• it doesn't have to be an either/or decision, the more events the better, sched. events in each car scene and they'll come unless the dates conflict
• base the event in the biggest/scene if youre chasing numbers, fact is most people don't travel unless they have done it in the past. (very few first timers make events out of town)
• promote a variety of activities, at least one will motivate a long trip
• come on lets enjoy our favorite car with new and old friends

 

hmm oct is looking pretty good

 

Oct is looking excellent!

 

lol. Cool have fun dallas evo owners! Take pictures.....

 

isnt there an import faceoff event on the 28th. any interest at that time
