Here are a couple of thoughts I have for this:
1). Event #1: Hold it in Las Vegas for the DHRA Vegas Diesel Nationals
some time in May of 2009! Here's info from last year's event:
DHRA Vegas Diesel Nationals - Diesel World
2). Event #2: Make our "Own" event! Possibly by contacting the Drag Strip in Las Vegas and seeing how feasable it is to do that, either on a Friday night in conjunction with what they refer to as "Midnight Mayhem Presented By MetroPCS". Or, by reserving the track for our own. (May be cost prohibitive) See the website of the track:
LVMS
3). Event #3: Hold it in Las Vegas over New Years 12/09 (Long Range Goal.. Could be our end of year party!:beer )
4). Do All three! Like one event every 4 months! (The Make Our own Event would occur in Late August or September..)
What I'd like to see happen:
Presidents and VP's of Ca. Ut. Nv. Nm. Az. Co. work together to gather any and all information they feel is necessary to make this happen, and organize the event, or events.
Gather input, ideas and attendance plans from the members here.
I'm thinking we will need to know how many people from each state are interested in participating, maybe get an Idea for inexpensive but "nice" lodging... At least a "Center Point" so we can all stay in the same "General" area...
You get the idea here?
OK a few more Ideas I had, they can be done in conjunction with the "Make our own event" :
Find a shop with a Dyno and have a little Dyno competition... check with some vendors on here and see if they would be willing to sponsor a gift certificate... (Name the dyno competition after the Vendor). Also, maybe give a consolation prize for the lowest Dyno number.
Publish the results here on the Forum
Have a Show and Shine competition. again, check for sponsorship with the vendors.
Publish results here on the board.
Have a BBQ at either event #1 or #2, or both. Most shops with Dynos have a grille, everything else can be sourced locally by participation (Everyone who participates, contributes an Item).
Have an "Exploration Run" for those interested in seeing the sights in and around Las Vegas, we can gather all of us that are interested in exploring the area and do it together!
Perhaps each one of the States can put on some kind of event, organize and staff it...
It would be really cool to have some local support from our members who live in and around Las Vegas to help out with this as well!
Feel free to use this thread to discuss!!
