Hey guys, & girls,
I have tried for the last 2-3 weeks to contact Charlie B. I know of at least 2 or 3 other members that have also attempted to contact him.
Has ANYONE seen or spoken to Charlie in the past few weeks.
And where is this "Cheerleaders Bar & Grill" of which you speak?
I may have to visit said establishment for some food & Ale.
You will have to ask BG or Fred. The have the directions

It stinks that the Bowling Green event is gone. Last year the weather was rainy and cool. I guess Sunday it was fine. I ran the dually once. It rained way too much on Saturday.
I went for the Hotrod reunion too. I missed the Huntsville Mopar show to see that.
I thought the '06 and '07 shows were successes?

I believe that TV and radio will work, We had a local Mopar show here in NC and drew and ok crowd then they did a TV & Radio Ad and the next year it was an overflow crowd " Advertise it and they will Come "
The people on Moparts, & people that buy the Mopar magazines already know about it.....Its the people that DON'T know that need to be reached.
I also ran a 1/2 page ad in the Columbus paper (368.00) on a Friday. BIG RESULTS

advertising is where the success is. Bater at norwalk use the tv, also radio stations, giving a few free passes away,which also brings spectaors.moparts has a lot of menbers from oh ,mi,ill,pa,ky,tenn,ny etc if ever member would pass out 25 cc event schedules in there state, or area, early in the year. at race tracks, car shows ,swap meets, or any auto event targeting the mopar family. lay them on the front like they do at the nats , i come back to my car and there is a half dozen flyers there . just suggestion thanks

I always like the idea of making a deal with Summit and Jegs to add flyers to their mail orders and have them stacked at the sales counters.

Alot of great suggestions. I really think that all of the racers know about the events but each event should also have some local to each event radio, newspaper or flyer type advertising . This will help to get some of the non everday day racers/street cars and hopefully a bunch of local spectators to come to want to see the cars and fill the stands and add more $$$ JMO

This is the type of thing I have been saying for a long time now, the local area event's need to be advertised for the local area people, it's the butt's in the grandstand's that bring in the money and spend their money on food,drink and in some cases part's or trinket's, a wise old man told me once that sometime's you have to spend a little money to make alot of money.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Just curious, about how many people do they get at Summit as walk in's per day? The local advertising would help but it would help more if it was open to all brands(I'm not a big fan of the multi brand idea) but most Mopar guys do know what events are around... since there's so few. Also you never see any ad's in the Mopar mag's like the MATS or NATS. Its very true... you have to spend money to make money

Raff, I think you'ld be surprised at the # of people that walk in. Everytime I go there there seems to be a good crowd. Flyers on the pick up counter would be a great idea. Give someone something to read for the couple of minutes while their standing there doing nothing but waiting anyway. At least for a breif second you might have their undivided attention.
