Corvetteforum local events
We've always held the belief that we're here to provide the means for everyone to set up their own events. We're not trying to be another NCCC. There are plenty of good local clubs already to set up autocrosses and such.
I was thinking the other day that we could probably do more to help with local events though. I was thinking that we could put together kits for local events. We could send out some free t-shirts to give away or raffle. We could also send out banners to display.
What else do you think would make sense? I'm looking for ideas.
One thing that we thought of doing a long time ago was holding some sort of Corvetteforum National Drag Racing night. We could have local clubs go to various tracks all on the same night and report the results live on the site. How many would be interested in something like this?

Re: Corvetteforum local events (Troy Roberts)
Troy, great suggestions. You may know we in the Northeast do a Drag Racing series in New Jersey. He had 7 dates this season and will have more next season. Most of the participants comefrom the Corvette Forum.
The Teeshirt suggestion and giveaway is a great idea.
Maybe an Avatar that advertises the next race? Like "I will be racing at ----- on x date"
I Love the national live broadcast date thing.
We just had over 70 vettes racing in NJ today.
See the link in my sig if you have not already

Re: Corvetteforum local events (Troy Roberts)
Troy, those are great ideas, how about coming east sometime and watching your members do some drag racing. It's a guaranteed good time(I personnaly guarantee it).
But as far as a national drag racing gig. We could take the top two from each region to have a shoot out at the Cruise In or some other national Corvetteforum event.
I would still like to see the Corvetteforum Drag Racing Championship stay the way it is.
BTW where is Bigtoe? I have to get my tags back under my name, I'm missing a few lines.

Re: Corvetteforum local events (Troy Roberts)
Troy, thats a great Idea but what the rest of the country should try to do is copy what we do here in Jersey with our Cartek Corvette Challenge. This is the premiere Corvette ONLY DRAG RACING SERIES. I know the guys in TEXAS tried and failed to run a similar series and I have challengened other groups to duplicate what we have.
As race coordinator I am very proud of what this group as accomplished this year. The racing has been on the highest level and 99% of the participants are forum members.
Please feel free to contact me for any assistance and checkout our web site. (link in sig). I know you can make this work on a national level the same way we have done in the NORTHEAST.
Good luck!
Thanks, John Mackey
PS, I'm looking for sponcers for next year, we are totally selffunded, this could be another great promational tool for the forum and it's sponcers.
Thanks again, JM.
