Quote: Everything sounds great on paper, but when it comes to application, some things that aren't as important, like this, may get swept under the rug.
This is the one idea so far that has not been about the date of the event, and the simple fact that the two of you to respond so far have both had a defeatist attitude about such a simple idea is just pathetic.
At this point in planning, with the event 4 months out "swept under the rug" is just an excuse for "to lazy to plan".
You all seem to just be going around about what date works best. Is the date important? Absolutely. Okay, you've got your date narrowed down to April 2 or March 26. Now it's time to start working on the What and How questions. These are the next phases of planning.
if you're going to judge you need a judging system. if you're going to judge on class, you need a class system.
Is judging an important part of the MM show?
1) If "yes", attempts to make the judging system better shouldn't be "swept under the rug".
2) If "no", then you're just a meet up, not a car show. Do you want this event to be a meet up, or a car show?
This is pretty basic, logical thought process stuff.
If my 2 &1/2 year old nephew can sort his mega bloks into piles of the same color, YOU should be able to sort cars into 4 or 5 classes.
This isn't rocket science. don't over-complicate a simple idea.
The reason I brought this up is because last year it seemed like the class system wasn't well implemented. I get there and you all tell me to "Park wherever" and then I'm nowhere near other cars in my class once the show fills up. Then you also have a Subaru wagon voted best 4x4 - If I were a Jeep or Truck guy, I would have been majorly pissed about that - that was complete BS. As an alumni who just showed up to the event without having any part in the planning, to me the experience just seemed like really poor planning.
But, hey Taylor, you know, you're right. it's not that important. dumb idea. sorry I brought it up. just go ahead and sweep it under the rug and forget I mentioned it. God forbid you make it a better event than last year. Just let me know so I don't waste my time showing up.
