Hi guys,
I know this a MASSIVELY long shot.....but would people (in this car club) be interested in hosting a dedicated 4cyl car event????
Could we go in conjunction with another Mitsubishi car club to help us with a drag day event????
Would people be more interested in competing in their cars knowing that wont be lining up on the strip next to blown Falcon??? or on the dyno competing for the same award as a Twin Turbo Supra??? ( I know I would be)
Could we do a dyno day?????
Maybe even just a static car show??
There's sooo many things we could do in terms of shows and stuff
Any comments are welcome

Re: Hosting a car show
It would be great to have a dedicated S-G hosted car show, but the amount of money involved is massive I'm sorry to say. Factoring in costs to - hire a venue, advetise the event, public liability insurance etc. You could possibly reduce costs by fishing for event sponsors but that can be a task in itself... I think a better (read easier) way would be to organise members to enter an existing event as a group and get authorisation to represent S-G from the event managers.

Re: Hosting a car show
What he said. Having been in a few car shows and helping out on a couple it is a massive amount of time, effort and money to have such event's as these. Most car shows have on the entry form (or in SA they do anyway) if you are entering as part of a 'club / business display' or an 'individual'. That is why most of the event's I enter are part of a club display promoting SMASA (Street Machine Association of South Australia).geezer101 wrote:It would be great to have a dedicated S-G hosted car show, but the amount of money involved is massive I'm sorry to say.

I wasn't aware this was a "car club" ... I thought it was just an internet forum !Scorpma82 wrote:..... in this car club ......
Re: Hosting a car show
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing Dave.
As the others have said, we aren't in a position to pay for such an event. I think (of course you would need to check with MrD) that if you wanted to organise a display at a local event it wouldn't be a problem and you would get a few members interested.
You wouldn't want to turn up with only two cars really, lol.
I am not sure what an established event would charge for a "club" or "team" entry but it would be something you would need to pay for yourself, or maybe the members entering might be willing to split it.
