if i had a suggestion, which i hope goes through, move the show from 8-12 to 10-2pm instead. it's a PITA for some of us that live an hour or 2 away to get to hayward at 8am....that means, get up a 5am and get ready...not fun ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

For The hrottle Stop crew, we really appreciate the hard work that's put into these shows. Everyone that was involved for this year's deserves a hand.
Now, for suggestions. We'd also like to jump on the later in the day train. Since our shop s in Roseville, we had folks get up at 5 to be there to set up. A 10-2 or 3 would be just fine.
At the DVMA show in Antioch, they had the coolest award presentation I've seen. They had the winners drive their cars up so everyone could see what car won. I know that is a bigger show, but mabe add what car and the name of the owner to the winner's announcment. Makes it easier for us "newbies" to the crowd to ge to know each other.
There also needs to be more advertising. Yes, this is expensive, but putting posts on other Mustang sites wouldn't be too hard, or cost anything, other than time. Signage directing folks to the show would help, too. May garner some intrest from passer by's.
Other than those comments, congrats to all the winers.

Thanks guys for putting it all together! HCI had a blast BS'ing with all ya'll.
I too have a suggestion...
Seems to me in the past few years there's been ever increasing members, yet the car shows/GTG's seem to be getting smaller each time. If I were to take a stab as to why that is I'd say it's the $35 entry fee to show off your ride. Most will agree that there's dead-ringers for winning certain classes.....I know a lot of people that simple can't justify spending that kind of money to show off their projects. I'd bet turnout would be 2-3 times what it was if the price was dropped to around $10 (with T-shirt). Obviously there's a lot of $$$ that goes into an event like this....so.....I'd suggest off-setting the price by having the sponsors pay more (plus, the lower the entry fee, the more cars that will enter which will off set some of the price reduction right there). I can't speak for the other sponsors, but the past 2 shows has been WELL worth the sponsorship price for HCI! & the more members that participate in the car show, the more buisness the sponsers will get off the event...
I believe there's a happy medium between sponsor price & entry fees that could easily double if not tripple the turnout. Win-win for everybody.
Oh....& I'm ALL FOR a 10-2pm show! (getting up before sunrise suck-diddly-uks!)

I agree with the above post. Lowering the entry fee and changing the time would benefit more members. I remember the Milpitas car show/cruise in 2003 had A LOT of cars. The parking lot was so full that cars were FORCED to park in a second area. Free entry went a long way that day. I paid the 35 dollars because I was more than willing to contribute to something I am grateful to be a part of (CAFords.com family). But the amount of cars who parked off-site bummed me out a little because many of them were very nice. Even if those members were not allowed to participate in the judging, they chould have been able to park in the lot for all to see. We had two parking lots full of beautiful mustangs and in my opinion, it should have been one. Still, it was a great day and I think if some minor changes are made to the upcoming events, the turnouts will return to their once massive numbers.
