I ran the idea past some more people at East today. It's in the motion of happening. How do I get a 4x4 club to be there? And who has full blown buggies that could make it? Date is looking like later May or into April. What's some good fundraiser ideas?
Car show& demonstration?!?!!

Sounds like you ripping off Eagle Performances's ideas boy! They've been doing that for years.
But yeah, I'd show up. And Jason, if you need any help organizing it, I've got three years worth of experience.

Your best bet is contacting the president of the clubs. Then you just tell them your idea, make sure you know what days and time you want it to be. If you want clubs to show up try to have it on a Friday. But just be absolutely positive that you've got the OK from the school administrators that its all good and that you already have the logistics in place before you start talking to people.
Also, when you do talk to people, get all the contact info you can and if they say they can make it, make sure its solid and get the number of people that are comming down for sure. YOu dont want to plan for 5 from one club and suddenly get 12! That can cause all sorts of headaches. You might think about talking to the boys over at Eagle Performance. They might be able to help you out with some contact info.
How did you guys make money, Josh and Jim said they make dough off this type of thing. Yes, I am borrowing the idea! East is so damn boring bacause all the principals of each different year have very different policies, so everything is out of whack! I think this would be real cool to mix things up a bit around here. There will also be low riders, classic and vintage cars. Plus another kid is trying to line up a "bump off" through Car Concepts where he works. So, lots of ideas and interests are trying to be met here.

We did a really bad a$$ show my Junior year. It take MONTHS of preperation to pull off a cool one though! Like I said, talk to EP, they might be able to help you out.
For money making, sell something! Refreshments are always good, plus you could charge a nominal fee for people to enter comp's like the sound system one or an RTI one ext ext. Never charge any entry fee though.

Let's build a hill and I will let people experience a roll for themsevles. 
I'll record your insurace companies reaction when you tell them that it will be OK for newbies to tip over in your rig cuz they will be belted. THats an insurance nightmare for the first chess geek that bumps his head when you tip. always tip to your side...

Actually... I was one of the judges. You hosting the show had nothing to do with it. We judged each rig impartially, in fact, I don't think anyone knew it was your rig. I liked the undercoating...Originally posted by cruiseroutfit
Nope I won because I hosted the show...
Plus mine was in the daily driver / trail rig comp your would be in the comp. buggy section...
As for Beer, I say show up with it and wait for em' to say no.

Bring a car or two that we can crush, and I'll come, as long as it's not a time when I'm outta town, like a UROC weekend. The lowriders and big stereo people coming make me less excited about it.

I agree... this will make it less desirable for most.. When we were planning our show, we had a few people interested in making it a combined show, in the end we were all glad we didn't. Made it alot of fun not to have any wiggers around...
So no low-riders and bump off? I think I found a Volvo in the shop we can roll over, and maybe a Colt. I was thinking have kids hit the car(s) with their choice of weapon(s) for a buck a hit. Then when we collect a certian amount of money from that, we let the rigs take over at something like five bucks a run. I know you're happy to pay since it's for a good cause. All the money goes to our Auto Shop. The state is really cutting back on funds, it gets worse each year. I was thinking of have classic, vintage type cars. That would be sweet. To SNR, bands (including mine) play already). Depending on where we can hvae this, the bands might be near it.

So, you're trying to attract people with gnarly rigs to come to your show so you can attract a crowd, and you're gonna charge us five bucks to drive over a car? Sorry dude, I can drive over a helluva lot more fun stuff for free. Seriously, you have to have a reason people would want to bring their rigs to your show, or no one is gonna show up.
