Spring car show 2016 PLANNING thread

[Senor_Taylor]

We're not done yet.

I've got Cracker Barrel on board as well.

We want to ask Kevin from Flim Flam and a ton of other. Alumni help is appreciated!

Make sure to contact NASA. Have we confirmed the autox yet? Probably bringing the race car this year instead of the Z06.

Yeah, I've been talking to Ray. They're making the schedule now and they have known we are doing the 2nd. If they can't do an auto-cross on the 3rd, we won't be rescheduling.

I'll email laura for the NASA part. I remember you mentioned its a good idea for us to the officers to have walkie talkies (do we really need them?)I can ask Laura if we can borrow a few for the day. Also for anything else she wouldn't mind pitching in for.

[Senor_Taylor]

We talked about it. We can get a good deal so we'll probably get them.

Oof. So after all this talk about making sure to talk with them, you went "we made our schedule, hope you can fit around ours".

Oh well, might mean I get a weekend back.

To be fair, then we would be riding them for why they haven't chosen a weekend yet. I think the scenario they chose is the best case, rather have it planned early IMO.

Calm down bro. Earlier in this thread Ray offered dates that happen to coincide with a NASA weekend so that was out. Other dates conflicted with Madipalooza which kills attendance (as seen in past years). It looks like they picked the best date that worked for MM in hopes that Ray is able to work an autox with that date. If they can't oh well. This is the spring car show - not the spring Autox. We have one of those in the fall.

I'm with them DJ. I think the kids did a good job. I like having advanced notice and while the autox is nice, we only just did that last year as a first time. Not like its been that way for year and years. Don't be a dick.

It's funny how officers will get bitched at by some people no matter what they do. They can't please everyone.

Thank you for the hard work. I'm in regardless.

I'm in, probably just going to bring the convertible because it's way more fun on a cruise than a truck.

It sucks at autocross though, so if the dates align I'll probably start begging for a co-drive.

Before you all go cramming down my throats, I hear different things from Ray Schumin. In the past the officers have claimed to contact him/work with him. When I talk with Ray in person, he tells me he never got contacted at all. Forgive my annoyance when I am lied to.

Not saying this is the case this time but when I read "Yeah, I've been talking to Ray. They're making the schedule now and they have known we are doing the 2nd. If they can't do an auto-cross on the 3rd, we won't be rescheduling." "they have known we are doing the 2nd" when we JUST announced that date?

I apologize if you did try to work with him, past experience talking with Ray shows he tried to move mountains to make sure schedules aligned. I hate when we burn our contacts.

Fair enough. Carry on.

[Senor_Taylor]

I understand your concerns. Just please remember that the officers this year are not the ones in the past. This is the only date that works for us, and we have been juggling dates to fit the ones Ray wanted to do. Also, please remember that this is just about the earliest that I've even seen car show planning and we already have the date set. I can show you the e-mails with Ray if you want.

Don't think that we haven't gotten it worked out with Ray. It's not over yet and he's not done. This is January. Most of the time, nobody would have even contacted him yet. Instead, he knows when we are doing it and has time to move stuff around. I do appreciate the concern, DJ.

Ray has just e-mailed me a said

"I'm 95% it is going to be OK. We have discussed it, and the board agreed. Let me double check with the solo chair to make sure he secured the date "

I knew you would. Which is why I quoted it to keep it frozen in time for all of forever. I want to see that movie now.

[SlimKlim]

It does look pretty funny. This article I'm working on also has a trailer for "Money Monster" which I hadn't heard of yet, looks pretty fuckin' good though.

Anyway, back on topic, pretty sure those are the only MM files I still have.
