this calls for Botak Car Show.

do it do it!!

On the way back to SLO last night I was thinking about it. Should we charge for spectators? If not an open lot would be fine for the show but if we do charge spectators, we'll need a clsoed area like La Cumbre School.

im really serious about making one.

well bimmerfest never charges spectator and look how succesfull they have been. just charge entry fee. and maybe do some kind of donation for future shows box or some kind of raffle to raise money for the next event.

what about trophys?

thats what the admission of the show cars is supposed to cover.

Normal costs for a show are Location, Trophies, Fencing. Possibly personnel but thats what you guys are for haha. How I see it is we can make it into a business venture as well. If we charge a small fee for spectators ($5 a head free if 13 and under) we can use the profits to split up for everyone who worked at the event.

oooh I like that idea Dan! but then we'd have to regulate people coming in which means fencing

this is very true... but if you think about that... there'd be a long time to plan everything out to make it a very successful car show!!!

Don't forget BBQ!
Carshow + BBQ FTW!

yeaaaaa definitely need a BBQ and charge like 3 or 4 bucks for a hot dog and like 5 bucks for a burger... and then drinks are dollar or 2 dollars and then we be making baaaaaaaaaank!!!

It's not that hard to organize a car show..if you can organize a meet then you can organize a carshow..just make sure you have correct and specific categories for all cars attending..getting the word out to the domestic cars will be pretty though bc we really don't know a lot of old white guys..

but then people would leave to go to like jack in the box or somethin cheap

split topics from the Santa Paula thread for organization

The only problem i can see us having is having the money upfront. Im not too sure about the logistics of setting up a car show is, but I cant imagine it being much difficult than hosting a meet. wait. no.

If we were to set up a car show, the most and foremost important thing is getting the word out so we can have different categories. We have to make sure that we have enough cars for trophies, and VENDORS & entertainment. Live music. One of my customers know Paul Walker, perhaps (slim chance) we can have him come out with his cars and have autograph signings. who knows, the list for entertainment is unending, actually figuring them out and following through is tough.

A successful car show, to me, is having at least 200 cars or so. The Botak BBQ usually gets 60 cars. so we need to almost triple that amount of cars.

As for food, I think if we could get an In and Out truck out, that would be awesome, or Woody's BBQ catering or even some Roach Coach.

Trophies, I just looked up, range about 50 bucks each...

anyways, i gtg get back to work.

whos that?

If we decide to charge a bit for admission, we can get a place that is already closed off like i said earlier with La Cumbre school. Good thing about a place like La Cumbre school is that there are bathrooms already there (Cut down portapotty costs), fencing already, and possibly real cheap to rent out the area since the school isn't in use during weekends for the most part.

I can't think of any better places than Earl Warren Show Grounds or Ellings Park

what would be the 'up front cost' to host a car show? how much we talking?

I can invited some BMW guys from So.Cal, Nor.Cal, all of them have been to SB and wouldn't mind coming back for a car show I can have whole LTBMW gang to show up. I also know an active import model Alex, she went to Dos Pueblos back in the days. I can ask her if she can get us a deal for inviting few models.

Earl Warren is WAY too much

According to the other prices, Im guessing around 1000-1700 for the parking lot

swap meet! too bad the roads are too rough there.. it would of been perfect

I can also invite some prelude clubs around SoCal.

I can try n handle the hot rod section... they have a meet on weekends at woody's and I can hit them up.

like i said we just need to plan everything out but i think i could be a successful thing that we all do... Models, paul walker! what else do we need?.. haha but seriously we just need to figure out the money issue...

But with the live band we could just get L.A.B. out there to play some music!
or get a DJ im sure a lot of us would kno a friend thats a good DJ to come and play there for cheap and maybe even free just to help us out!
