How do I start my own car show event?

Calling All Rodders,

I have been getting a few questions from you on how to set up your own car event.I have worked with,in the past a few different car clubs, helping in the planning of a car show.

First of All.....Deciding to have a car event is the easy part!!

1. IT"S A LOT OF WORK!

2. You need people to help.

3. You need to decide on a central location.

4. If a park or public setting you will need to check with the authority and make sure they have the insurance and event permits for you to be able to do this. Most public places want you to carry your own liability insurance.

5. If you are doing this show for a particular club or organization you will need to list that on your information and have their permission to use their name.

6. You will need a date and time and fees if any, decided on.

7. You will need to decide weather or not you want a judged show or not. If judged you will need knowledgeable people to be on that committee.

8. You will need to have people to park your spectators and car participants.

9. Are you going to have vendors?

10. Are you going to have food?

11. Are you going to have dash plaques?

12. Are you going to have prizes?

13. Is there a rain date?

14. What type of car is invited to this show?

15. Make sure your information is accurate before printing.

16. Print ALOT OF FLIERS

17. Send everyone you know out with your fliers and go to every event you can get to and pass out fliers to other car owners. (MAKE SURE YOU SENT ME ONE FOR THE WEBSITE)

18. Hope for a sunny day and get ready to work your tail off!!

As, I said before it is a lot of work, they are a lot of fun and you meet a great bunch of people. Many will become Friends for life. The people who take the time to organize and promote car events are dedicated car enthusiasts who enjoy being with the public. Make sure you thank them next time you attend a car event.

See ya at the next car event!!!!
