Richard Cranium Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 We've kicked around the idea for years of holding a car show as a fund raiser for our student organizations. We finally pulled the trigger on it and we're going to make it happen. Since I'm in a student leadership position and I'm a car guy I got handed the opportunity to make this happen. We have a small group within the school working with me on this. We're planning on this being an annual event. We're running the organization of the show through a service called Car Show Pro. The site for the show is: https://carshowpro.com/event/123 Pre registration is up as of this afternoon. The details are on that site. There is also a facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1232478353546689/ The date for the show is October 7th, so we're definitely behind on setup, but we're making progress. We're looking for sponsors, judges, volunteers, etc.... We should have a legit web page up for the show soon. We're trying to keep things simple this first year. $100 to be a show sponsor, logo on the promotional materials and recognition at the show. As a perk, a sponsor can set up a tent/booth at the show if they would like. We're also looking for donations to be used as raffle prizes or even silent auction items. If anyone is interested in being a sponsor or volunteering please let me know and I'll put you on the list. Show classes will be: Trucks Modern Muscle Cars Vintage Muscle Cars Sport Bikes (Motorcycles) Cruisers (Motorcycles) Vintage Motorcycles Rad Rod Cars Tuners (modified import cars) Cars 1949 and earlier Cars from the 1950s Cars from the 1960s Cars from the 1970s Cars from the 1980s Cars from the 1990s Modern European Cars Vintage European Cars Modern non-European import Cars Vintage non-European import Cars Student (Tolles registered students) Awards will also be given for the best project car, best represented club, peoples choice, etc... I'm sure we're missing some classes, but we're anticipating this will be a smallish show to start, so we don't want to spend huge on trophies right off the bat. We'll also be giving plaques as well as trophies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StangBoy39 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is there a way to sign up to be a volunteer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Is there a way to sign up to be a volunteer? Not through that site. I'll manage the judges and organization staff through that site, but probably won't be sorting out assignments until a little closer to the event. If you're interested in being a judge then message me your contact info and I'll get in contact once we get staffing sorted out. Thanks!

Mojoe Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Rick, are you the POC for this or just putting it out there? I can talk to my guy who covers that area and might be able to get a military truck there and give out some things. LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already reached out to us and are going to be a show sponsor and bring out some gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 No restrictions on selling at vendor booths? I can talk to Farkas and see if we are able to set up. I'm friends with one of the auto teachers at Tolle's, Brian Parks. I can also talk to the GM's at our dealerships and see if they are interested in doing something. Young techs are what we are always looking for. Unless you already have support from other dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem if you want to sell out of your booth, as long as it doesn't interfere with the show's profits, or violates some board policy. Brian is a good friend of mine as well. As of right now I don't think we have any dealers on board. The more the merrier as long as it brings in more money for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm sure Lucore can get involved as a shop sponsor and bring one or two of our toys/projects to show off. We're pretty familiar with the crew over at that school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Things are starting to come together. So far we have Lucore, Rock Auto, and the US Army on board as sponsors. We'll continue to take offers of cash or product (that we can raffle off) for sponsorship. Very soon I'm going to come looking for people to be judges. As of right now the qualifications I am looking for in a judge is a pulse and a smart phone. I'm only partially kidding, but if it gets bad, then the pulse requirement will probably become negotiable. Judging will be done on smart phones, so that one is a requirement.

zeitgeist57 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Rick, let me know about judging. At this point, I don't have anything scheduled for Oct 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I could be a judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Always happy to help out, we actually have a pretty good relationship with that schools Auto Tech program anyways. We'll be bringing the '65 C-10 Work Truck and likely at least 1 Pontiac, since there's a "Project Car" trophy might bring something else that should be rather torn apart by the time of the show waiting on its new monster heart.

Richard Cranium Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Okay, time to iron out the volunteer list. If anyone is willing to donate time to help out that would be awesome! The big list is I am in need to judges. 15 to 20 adults total. Judging experience preferred, but not required. Judges meeting at 10:30, plan is to start judging at 11:00. You can have a car in the show, you just cannot judge that class. I'm planning on judging being done by 1:30-2:00 If you are not interested in judging, but still want to help out let me know. I'm sure we can find a spot for you. If you have a skill that you think would be of benefit please let me know and I'll try to place you where we can make use of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Okay, I'm finally getting my judges lined up. I know it's late. PM me your information if you are interested. Judges meeting about 10:00ish, start judging around 11:00 finished by 1:00 is the goal. You will need to create an account on the http://www.carshowpro.com website. All judging scores and sheets will be handled through that site, no paper form needed. We will use smart phones to enter all the scores. There will be a QR code on the dash cards you can scan to judge each car. Hopefully it should go smoothly. Let me know if you are interested. BTW OSU game starts at 3:30 that day, so hopefully you'll be long done before game time. October 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
