Quote: two ideas specifically for the car show itself:
1) have people register their cars by class.
2) have designated areas where all classes are parked together.
Good idea in thought. But I feel like it would be really hard to do this in practice. I know some people who will just hear about it the car show a day before or something and they don't register but show up an want to be in it. How does one prepare for that? Tell them no, leave extra spaces (but how many?), etc...
You're over-thinking the definition of "register".
No one pre-registered last year. You paid your entry fee when you arrived and got a number. And then just parked wherever there was a free space. You even had guys come in, pay the entry and then leave before the judging was even done.
for point #1: Someone shows up and pays you the entry fee, you give him a number and class designation. Then you direct him where to go park with his class (more details in point #2). Is he in a Jeep? 4x4 class. 1970 Mustang? Classic class. Subaru WRX? import class.
for point #2: Have the parking lot divided up into rows for each class. cones + signs. Have someone directing people to the proper row and spot. Seriously, If a bunch of middle-aged men at my church can wave people into open parking spaces every Sunday morning, I'm pretty sure one or two MM members could be directing people to parking spaces for the show.
How hard is that?
