This changes the entire set up back to a "show". who judges while the other people park cars and hype the raffle tickts? we have to count ballots, are we parking cars in groups that they want to enter into? i thought the idea of a show with awards, voting and alot of structure was struck down because of all the amount of work on the small group we have? if we do awards we need to do an entry fee, and so people at the "gate" taking money. we were not able to find awards in the price range you are talking about. we need to have this figured out before saturday since we are going to be describing the event.

 

I have to agree with Jason too late in the game to be changing what we are doing
Paul unless you can guarantee at the very lest 12 more people to help not including our regulars, I vote we stay the course.

 

NO, it does not. It's just us. No one else. Sayiig to each other, hey, I liked the Ferrari and the 65 goat etc. NO registattion. NO ballots. No numbers. End of the day we call people over and just say, our club liked these cars. That's it. It has not more structure than than. No one enters anything. No one takes money for anything other than the raffle. Show up, listen to music, by food wine beer. If you want a shot at the 50 / 50 buy some tickets. It's not that damn complicated. We also don't have to even mention it we don't want to. If we want to, it would be described as such. It's only COM voting. It isn't that hard.

BTW - in one minute I googled and found trophies for less than $5 dollars each. Free text on the awards as well. I'm sure we could get 4 for under $40. Simple, low cost, but still something for people to take home for the cars we like.

We could also do mugs or something like that. Just ideas guys. Simple, very low cost ideas, to draw people and make it fun and personal.

 

You posted and asked what I thought and I gave you my opinion, if your asking for a vote I say no. You are the VP and If you get buy-in from other members go for it. just bring me a receipt.

 

My opinion is if we scrapped the "show" concept for the GTG/Cruise then we scrapped the entire show atmosphere (i.e. no rules, no fess, no trophies, no worries). Although I think Paul's idea is admirable, it's too much too late in the game. We all knew there were only five or six of us responsible for making a show happen so that's not the problem. The problem is for a show, and all its duties, you have to have committed people early on and a "defined" direction for activities. It took a lot for the voting body to cancel the show atmosphere in favor of a cruise so I suggest we stick to the cruise concept and EVERYONE can have a leisurely day.

 

I guess I'm somewhat blown away by how this simple, 20 to 30 dollar expenditure is viewed as changing anything. It changes nothing other than adds 20 to 30 dollars. But, that being said, fine. I'm not taking any votes. I do need to understand though, based on what we are planning, is the final decision on the approach/es for the food / music. DJ or no DJ. If no DJ, I'll like to investigate bringing some kind of music system. If I have to bring my own, I will. I'd prefer to not have to thoughMy thought on Food was to still have the same (or new) vendor come. Let them know what we are doing. Anything they take in is all theirs.Beyond that, it's just the raffle. That's on us to sell the tickets. There are no other responsibilities as far as I'm concerned. We can get parking started in the proper way and then let the flow follow.I'll likely still get water from wegmans but I'll just give it away this time.

the chances are pretty high that i'll be there. Might be the first show for the fish.

 

Will you be trolling for a Trophy????

 

hahaha no ill just be happy if it swims all the way up there and back. its not ready to go trolling for trophies..............Carlisle though, that might be a different story.

 

I'll be at the beach. Good Luck

 

Saturday is the 3rd annual Hunt Valley Car Gathering at the Avenus parking lot. its 8-10 and I dont see rain in the forecast so thought I would go - anyone else feel like joining me for some coffee, cars, coffee,?

Second subject - I am registered for Carlisle - went to CICCI site to sign on the list - no list. Not even a mention of Carlisle in 2015 I can find. Whats up with that? Have all the elders moved on? I even checked the calendar as the reminders say to do, and nada, not even listed. ????

 

Cars and coffee.....Crossfire still has white paint, cuda needs the alternator installed and the Fury is ready to go, but is willing to stay home so i can work on the cuda, so I'm going to pass. I was wanting to go to this, but things happen. although i may be going to Burtonsville this sunday IF the cuda is ready should anyone be interested.

Carlisle.........Im no longer a member of CICCI so i dont know what's going on with that forum, but here is the thread to carlisle on this forum started by Tony and in the usual format.

https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...12-2015-a.html

 

I'll be at Myrtle Beach so no can do.

Your car looks great!

I haven't been able to get on CICCI - some maintenance server message from CICCI. Maybe they are done now. Good point though if there isn't a thread on there.

As Jason directed, there is one on the forum though. Add your info. Tony will be happy to have one added. He's been bumping it to no avail over the last month or two.

I'll see you guys on the 18th.
