Hey Feersty - Wish I could, but I think I may already have a person riding with me. I'm not sure yet if she is going to ride down with me or meet me there.

Did we ever get a final word on this? I need a firm date now to start making plans. As do many others I'm sure, not to mention you guys need to do some flyer drops.

Is it at your place now? We no longer have car shows on campus?

yea, that's what I thought too. Nothing against having shows at the place, but the Spring MM show needs to happen AT JMU.

We got more foot traffic and more cars holding the show at Dryft than we've gotten on campus in years. If the idea is the get spectators doesn't it make a lot more sense to hold the show on the side of a 4 lane highway than in a small off-to-the-side barely visible parking lot on campus? Besides, having a dyno at the show adds a whole new level of awesome that we haven't had before.

Yeah its different than what we've done in the past but if they got much better results off campus then I can't argue with that. The only downside is that you might not attract as many potential new student members to the event.

Another plus is that you can sell food and have more leeway in what side events you do. So for instance you'd probably never get the campus to approve pocket bikes or a moto stunt show but you could do that off campus.

So what you are saying is the show's at Dryft? Do you realize that we are down to 1 month and there are NO details about the show?

Is there a place for me to park the trailer?

Yes the show is at Dryft. Yes I realize how much time there is to the show and I'm not concerned. The last 3 shows have had official announcements about a month before the event itself and we've never had any problems. And yes there will be a spot for you to put the trailer.

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

Sounds like a better venue. JMU put so many disclaimers on what we could do.
