[ChargerSXT]

I also have a list of around 150 (so far) people, clubs, organizations, etc. to whom I will be sending out personal invitations to the show.

[soccerbachelor]

Sounds good to me, I should be around still (2010 to San Diego). Lauren and I will most likely be able to help out again, the first one was a blast!

San Diego in 2010???? Man, that sucks (although the weather is MUCH nicer out there). You'll have to carry the HRME name out there with ya. :D

[ChargerSXT]

I am working on (what I consider to be) a significant change to the car show for next year....as well as future shows. I can't say too much now :silenced: , but please keep checking back. I hope to have this finalized within 2-4 weeks.

This "change" does not affect the date, location, time, etc. of the show.

[ChargerSXT]

FYI...this flyer WILL be channging.

Here is the draft flyer:

In good time "little buddy." :D

I've just started the process, and I want to hear something back before I say anything...because I KNOW you can't keep a secret. :lol:

[soccerbachelor]

I can keep a secret with everyone that I tell it to, lol. Can we get a hint??? The suspense is killing me!!!!

[ChargerSXT]

It is official!!! The HRME Back to School Bash is now an official annual charity event to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas for the sole purpose of conducting basic and clinical research into catastrophic childhood diseases, mainly cancer. St. Jude is the largest childhood cancer research center in the world, having treated children from all 50 states and from around the world. Additionally, St. Jude is the only pediatric research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay.

For more information on St. Jude, please visit http://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f2bfab46cb118010VgnVCM1000000e 2015acRCRD

That's awesome!
when my daughter was 30 days old she had surgery a childrens hospital (Not St Judes). But the concept was the same and all rooms for babies included a bed for a parent, shower and meals, with no additional fees for it.

[ChargerSXT]

I definitely look forward to seeing you there. Maybe you can get yourself a new sig pic. :D

Thanks, GG. Hopefully, you and Feros will be able to come up for the show.

[ChargerSXT]

I will have registration info up on the website within the next month or so.

[soccerbachelor]

Awesome!!! Glad to see it worked out and for such a good cause!

[ChargerSXT]

I am quite excited (and honored) about it.

I've updated the car show page on the website. I still have some stuff to add...like the registration sheet and the flyer. I'm also going to try to get an online registration set up. When I do, SB, will you be my test subject to see if it works?

[ChargerSXT]

So far, I've had about 15 people (from a number of different forums) tell me that they'll definitely be at the show. That's half the number of participants at this year's show back in August. :D

[ChargerSXT]

The event flyer and registration form are now posted on the "Back to School Bash 2008" page on the HRME website.

Here is the flyer:

Here's the draft dash plaque design.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g246/ChargerSXT/HRME%20Car%20Show%202008/2008DashPlaqueDesignrevA.jpg

What do y'all think? I want to finalize the design and get the plaques ordered as soon as possible, so any input will be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm trying to decide between metal or magnet dash plaques. Any opinions?

[soccerbachelor]

metal!!!!! Magnets are bad, lol. I like the above designs, I'm guessing you couldn't find a cartoon Charger for the left car? I like the Viper though.

[ChargerSXT]

Nope...couldn't find one. I've also love the Starsky (sp?) and Hutch car, so I went ahead and used it.

[ChargerSXT]

All,

Please take a minute to check out this thread: http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1040603#post1040603

Thanks.

[kbeazzy]

I Like It But I Would Love A Cartoon Charger Also Lol

[ChargerSXT]

I Like It But I Would Love A Cartoon Charger Also Lol

If I could have found one, I would have used it.

[ChargerSXT]

So far, the event info has been submitted to:

The Daily Press
The Virginia Pilot
The Hampton Roads Magazine
Ignition (a military newspaper)
VPCCC
Mid-Atlantic Motor Pages
8 different forums

I still have to submit the info to:
CCCHR
CCCCVA
NOVACCC
local businesses
MWRs
and over 150 different individuals and clubs

Anywhere else...any other publications?

[moparknighthawk]

Great job on the flyer and dash plaques. I vote for metal as well though. I have had some of the magnetic ones from car shows in the past and they just were not that great. :)

[ChargerSXT]

Thanks for the info. I'm having a demo metal plaque made up and sent to me. If I like the work, I'll be ordering them.

[ChargerSXT]

I got my sample plaque in yesterday. It looks GREAT!!! They're metal and about 3" x 4".

[ChargerSXT]

Just an update...

Things are coming along pretty well. I've sent out over 100 emails already (with many more still to go out) to individuals and clubs/organizations personally inviting them to the show. The show is also listed in (or has at least been sent to) The Daily Press, Hampton Roads Magazine, Virginian Pilot, Full Throttle magazine, Thunder Roads Mid-Atlantic magazine, Ignition, Mid-Atlantic Motor Pages, and on numerous forums. The band is booked, as is the Space Walk, and the dash plaques have been ordered.

I'm also working on a couple of possible sponsors. More to follow on that....

Additionally, I'm going to ask 3-4 local vendors if they would like to come out to the show to see it they get/receive any feedback from the show participants and attendees...in order to see if selling vendor space at next year's show (yup, I'm already looking that far ahead) will be feasible.

There's still a ton to do, and I'm looking for some help with one aspect. It's about that time to start getting flyers out to local businesses...and the more I can get to the better. That's were I need help. Would anyone be willing to print out some flyers (color ones) and take them to different auto and motorcycle related businesses in the area? All you would have to do is ask if they would allow you to post a flyer for the show in their business (door, window, counter, etc.). If they agree...great!...if not...so be it. I'll be hitting Hampton, Newport News, York County, Poquoson (sp?), and possibly Gloucester. I need help with Williamsburg and down on the South Side. If you can help out with this, please let me know.

Finally, car show season is about to begin, so I'll be hitting as many of the shows, as well as BPS and Grafton HD, and handing out flyers. If I see you at any of these events, I may try to recruit you to help pass out the flyers. :D

[soccerbachelor]

You know I got you down here, let me know when we can meet to get the flyers and I still have your calendar.

[ChargerSXT]

Roger that, amigo. Thanks!

[ChargerSXT]

I'm finally finished...I've sent out almost 200 personal invitations via mail and email to both individuals and clubs/organizations. :dead:

[ChargerSXT]

I'm working with the VSP about getting another Charger at the car show. They are trying to work it out so that there will be two...one with roof lights and one with a slick roof.

[soccerbachelor]

I'm sure the same guy would want to come back, he had fun!

[ChargerSXT]

I'm sure the same guy would want to come back, he had fun!

I've already talked to him, and he won't be able to make it this year.

[soccerbachelor]

That sucks, he was cool

[ChargerSXT]

That sucks, he was cool

yup, he sure was.

[ChargerSXT]

I heard back from my VSP POC...but not about the VSP Dodge Chargers.

She wanted to ask me this:

I wanted to know if it is ok if I brought a Harley Motorcycle to the car fair. We are selling raffle tickets for a soft tail HD motorcycle for Special Olympics. Tickets are $25.00 and only 2500 tickets will be sold.

So, if you're interested in an HD bike, you'll be able to buy a raffle ticket at the car show.

[soccerbachelor]

Hell yeah I want a bike, I don't know if they will be able to sell that many tix, but I'll surew as hell buy one :grin:

[ChargerSXT]

They are selling tickets at a number of different places. The car show is just one of 'em. It won't be given away at the show.

[soccerbachelor]

aww damn, I miss my bike and will be getting a ticket for a new one :grin:

[ChargerSXT]

aww damn, I miss my bike and will be getting a ticket for a new one :grin:

same here...

I told her she could bring it out...but only if she saved the winning ticket for me. :D

[ChargerSXT]

So...in addition to the St. Jude charity for the car show, there will be 3 other charities at the show:

1. The Pink Ladies Cafe (one of our food vendors) - to benefit Relay for Life. (They were at the show last year.)

2. Miss Lilly Day from The Pinup Angels - an organization that provides care packages to our deployed service members (for more information on this organization, visit www.thepinupangels.com)

3. Motorcycle Raffle Ticket sales - to benefit the Special Olympics (I don't have the name of the organization yet.)

I have to admit that I am very happy, and honored, to have these charities come out and be part of the show.

[soccerbachelor]

Sounds good, doing good things, I'm glad to be a part of it :)

[ChargerSXT]

I just got word that the Dodge Chargers will be at the show!

[ChargerSXT]

I've updated the show's event info on the HRME website.

[ChargerSXT]

Now that we have the 2 VSP Dodge Chargers, can anyone think of any other display-type vehicles that we can request? I'm going to look into local police departments (there is an unmarked Dodge Charger with the Newport News Police) and the National Park Service in Yorktown (I know of at least one Ranger who drives a Dodge Charger).

Anything else?

[ChargerSXT]

I just sent off a request to the NPS in Yorktown. Keep your fingers crossed...

[soccerbachelor]

I just got word that the Dodge Chargers will be at the show!

And this guy calls me a moron, DUH we have Chargers around here for the most part!!

[ChargerSXT]

I just heard back from the Chief Ranger at NPS in Yorktown. He said that they will try to participate in the show "if staffing allows." Sweet!

I sent him all the info on the show, so we'll see what happens.

[ChargerSXT]

Does, or had, anyone ever seen/read the magazine Ol' Skool Rodz? If you get a chance to look at the latest issue, there is a spread in there about the Pinup Angles (on page 20). These are the gals that will be out at the show. There is at least one gal coming, Miss Lilly Day, and she told me yesterday that another gal my be flying in from Seattle (if I remember correctly) to help out.

Also, I've submitted the show's info to the magazine to include in their "Drivin' Around" section.

You can check out the mag's website at http://www.olskoolrodz.com/.

Thanks to Profit of Doom...the very first registered entrant for the show!

[Profit of Doom]

Woo hoo I am number 1... Now just to get the car to win one trophy.... I am going to fill the exhaust full of candy and shoot it out for the kids choice.. :).. (might work)

[soccerbachelor]

Last year the guy had cartoons on in his car... Go figure he won, lol.

[ChargerSXT]

OK...so I got a pretty nice phone call this morning concerning the car show.

I gave a friend of mine who works at a local dealer info about the show and asked him to pass it around. He called me this morning to ask about the max capacity of the show. He said that one of his buddies has about 40 people signed up to come out...and he said that there are a dozen or so other guys who want to come out and bring some friends with them, too.

If, at a minimum, those 40 guys do come out, that will put us over the number of cars at last year's show.

My goal this year is 100 cars, trucks, and bikes.

[ChargerSXT]

The show info has been submitted to yet another site: www.oldride.com.

I've also registered with www.HRTownSquare.com. Once my registration is complete, the show info will be posted there, too.

[ChargerSXT]

Here is the list of newspapers/magazines/websites that I have submitted info about my show...and this list doesn't include the numerous forums that I've posted on or the many car, truck, and bike clubs that I've submitted show info to:

1. Oldride.com
2. HRTownSquare.com
3. Olskoolrodz.com
4. Daily Press
5. Hampton Roads Magazine
6. Virginia Pilot
7. Full Throttle Magazine
8. Thunder Roads Mid-Atlantic Magazine
9. Ignition
10. Mid-Atlantic Motor Pages
11. Mequires Special Events
12. Hotrodhotline.com

I've also contacted Debbi Haddaway from Max Media and asked about PSAs on their different local radio stations. I haven't heard back from her, so I think I'll contact the stations individually.

Is there anything, any place, else you can think of?

Thanks.

[Gilgamesh]

When are you thinking of having this show at bro??

[ChargerSXT]

The date is set for the show...Saturday, July 26th. The rain date is Saturday, August 2nd.

[Profit of Doom]

[ChargerSXT]

You mean how they select them, or which kiddos make the selections?

[ChargerSXT]

Could there be a sponsor for the show this year? I'm working on it... :D

[ChargerSXT]

Sponsor deal should be finalized soon! :D :clap:

[Profit of Doom]

I mean can we bribe the little voters?

[ChargerSXT]

I did find someone with more clipart...including modern Mopars...I'm just trying to get them to send the pics to me.

[ChargerSXT]

I just talked with the representative from Meguiar's Special Events, and I've resent him all the info on the HRME show. He said that they will send me some items for the show...possibly including samples, etc. for the goody bags, and kits to include with the larger/higher awards. :D

[ChargerSXT]

There may be a DJ who will be able, and willing, to volunteer some time for the show. He just needs to see how his schedule works out the day of the show.

[Profit of Doom]

My step father is KJ I can check with him if you can't this guy to commit

[ChargerSXT]

Here's what I got back from the DJ:

Please fill out the attached event information sheet so I will have all the particulars for your event. Depending on how things go, I might be able to stay the entire time. As of right now I am not booked for that day. If something comes up, I would have to probably leave early to make it to the next event.

There is already a band playing at the car show, and I was planning on simply using my CDs in between the band's sets. If a DJ will come out...even better. :D

Race World in VA Beach said that we can drop off some flyers there, but yet again, I dfon't have a decent printer.

If I was faster than your car in the 1/4 mile, I'd still be at 3-4 minutes, lol.

This feels like the good old POHOing days that are long gone.

[ChargerSXT]

Ok so now how are the registrations coming along?

They aren't exactly "flying in." :(

I've had quite a few people tell me...and others...that they are planning on coming, but I haven't received any registrations...other than yours, that is.

I'm trying to be as patient and optimistic as I can...

[ChargerSXT]

I would like to give him atleast a month and a half. because he would have to close out 2 dates on his calender for that... KJ's do late night at bars.. so fri night and sat night would have to be shut down....

Can you go ahead and see if he can make it out?

[Profit of Doom]

yeah... So you want him to be a definate? You want anything (Request for music) fog machine?

[ChargerSXT]

yeah... So you want him to be a definate? You want anything (Request for music) fog machine?

I definitely want to get him penciled in. I'd like to talk to him, too, about the setup, music, etc.

[ChargerSXT]

Just a quick update.

The dash plaques are in...and they look awesome!...and I go pick up the trophies next Wednesday.

My next "project" is to get the goody bags put together.

Looks like things are coming together! :D

[ChargerSXT]

I now have the dash plaques in, and I picked up the trophies today. Pics are attached below.

For the trophies, the small star trophies are the Kid's Choice awards (3 of them). The blue and red trophies are the 1st and 2nd place awards (respectively) for each class (16 classes). The green awards are the Best In... awards. There are 7 of these.

There are 42 awards in all. For size comparison, the red trophies are approximately 10" tall.

I'm actually using the back parts of the parking lot for the show this year, so that everyone is closer to the shaded area.

[soccerbachelor]

Shade is good if it is as hot as last year, that left some ugly tan lines, I usually tan nude :grin:

Is the back lot as big?

Thanks amigo. I got it, and I really appreciate it. Sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been out at the NASCAR races in Richmond this weekend, and my internet connection was not very cooperative.

As far as help...just getting the word out (and flyers) and getting people out to the show.

[soccerbachelor]

Good to have you on board Drew!

[ChargerSXT]

There is now a new registration sheet posted on the HRME website.

POD...I'll get you to fill out the new one at the show.

I asked Heidi at BT if they would like to send antything for the goody bags at the show. Here is what I got back from her:

I'll put some stuff in the box for you and a gift certicate for $125 for choice of BT items.

My wife is also putting together a goody basket to raffle off for the ladies.

So, we'll have the 50/50 raffle and a raffle for the lady's goody basket and the BT gift certificate.

OK...this made me feel good. This is a portion of an email that my wife received.

I don't if you remember me or not, but I attended your benefit car show for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Hampton back on July 26th. A friend of mine and I entered our motorcycles in your show...First off, I'd like to say that you put on a wonderful event and I was impressed at how well organized it was put together. Very professional to say the least...I would also like to THANK YOU for supporting a great cause and raising money to help the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Once again you put on a great event and it was a pleasure to attend...Thank you again!

This makes it all worth while...
