Big Event Idea
Okay so I was at work tonight and my neighbor with the new viper rolls up. We are all talking and my manager was asking about our meets. So I showed him some pics and he was really interested. He is really interested in seeing one so we came up with the idea of having one at the pizza shop i work at. This way he can see it and lets not beat around the bush.. he sees it as a good oppurtunity to make some money... SO. here are some ideas we toyed around with.
The lot out front can hold about 10 cars (very small) so if there isnt much interest we could have a small get together and eat there and just hang out.. much like most of the EPFBA meets.
BUT if there is a big interest.. there is a huge parking lot out back. It can probably hold about 80 cars and on top of that there are a few other lots surrounding it. So we were just throwing some ideas back and forth and really liked the idea of having a huuge meet back there with tons of cars.. not just F-bodies but any American Muscle or classic car. We were toying with the idea of maybe each participant getting a card thats like 5 or 6 bucks maybe and being able to eat whatever pizza (a fair amount.. not go overboard) and unlimited drinks. I think this could be a great oppurtunity to get a big event together. Hell if people want to chip in money to participate I can have trophys made and we could have judges award cars of different classes. My friend with the viper was talking about getting maybe even media attention too.
I dont know.. honestly if we could get the second idea to work that would be fantastic.. if not the first works for me too, its still nice to hang out with people. BUT I would really like to get a big event together to kick off the new season (maybe sometime in April).
So lets get some ideas out there, see if anyones interested and lets make it happen!
P.S. Im on LS1tech CZ28.com and EPFBA.org.. any other forums you guys know of please pass this along thanks!

Peace A Pizza...
a guy over on EPFBA has made some good suggestions with raising money for some charities and what not.. some good ideas floating around. But im pretty much a newb at planning events like this so anyone who could help would be awesome.
Thanks

i spoke with someone who said they might be able to get us a dyno here for a group price. I cant make any promises but if it was do able would I see a boost in interest?
Maybe a prize for the car with the most power in its class?

im quoting slowcamaro on cz28. I think this is pretty much what were going with if people are wlling to spend money:
dyno, and public event. get a price on trophies and i can chip in on that. maybe put an in the pizza shop. see if your boss will give a discount to show participants. he will get more business, and people will be encouraged to come. also, with or without trophies, (or if its cheaper) pool some money together and hand out coupons for a free pizza (couple judges will each have a few coupons and disperse to those they deem eye catching or special cars....and hot women!)
we are thinking late april most likely
anyone on other forums post this up..
