3. Would you attend if there was a registration charge to enter your car?
4. Would you attend if it was catered vs. non-catered.
5. Marketing Ideas(local clubs,radio advertising,database mailer?)
6. Pre-registation
9. Kids games ( not sure what?)
7. Prizes (Forgestar Wheels and accessories or something)
8. How do you do the classes, by Model: example R34??
9. Do people like this kind of stuff or am I wasting my time. Thought it would be fun.
Thanks for the hlep guy

Try a mix of free and registation events. The free events are to bring in anyone that wants to show their Z (space may be limited - so plan accordingly). The registation event are for the GRAND PRIZE & vendors items(suggestions: discount on new 370Z and/or NISMO 370Z/GTR parts, hats, shirts, etc, and other sponsor's items via raffles (donations). The donations go to sponsored charity and GRAND PRIZE). Our Z club holds the event in conjunction with a poker run ending up at the sponsoring Nissan dealership.
Weekends (Sunday) works best since the service area is typically closed. Time wise, it is an all day affair. Planning takes several months so as to not conflict with other car club events, holidays, etc.
The local Nissan dealership that sponsor's our Z Club helps pay for the food for registation persons (again for charity -ie right-off). The free participates have to pay to particapte in the raffles and food without participating in the poker run. The winner of the best time in the poker run wins various prices, discount coupons on local restaurants, NISMO parts, etc.
In this venue, the Z club has paying participated around 100 - 200
Having the event sponsored by local radio & TV is always a plus. TV stations like charity events to garner viewers.
