Hello Everyone,

I have an "odd" question. I want to put together a large car show here in Deep South Texas. Most of the cars, right, down here are classic vehicles or trucks. What I WANT TO DO IS put on a car show for Sports and Luxury cars ONLY!!!! No trucks.

Has anyone ever done this? If so, how did you create a score sheet. I have some things in my mind but, I would like to see if any of you have ever done this OR have competed in such an event.

Thanks!!!! Feed back please
 
First thing you need to do is attend a few of such shows elsewhere and see how they are run. The ones that are successful are that way for a reason. You aren't going to be able to put up some flyers and get people to come - especially a specialized crowd like what you want.

It's a lot of work.

The Louisville Concours d'Elegance
This one was around my area. I am not sure if the site will help but I figured I would post it. The show had nothing but exotics and luxury cars like you want. One thing I know they did that you may try is they got a few high end dealers(Bugatti,Lambo...etc) to bring in some very nice cars.
 
Find a location - Found one. One of my very good clients office. He has the Jag, BMW and about 7 other vehicles and knows MANY PEOPLE here in the Rio Grande Valley. Client owns a propane and fuel business down here. :xyxthumbs:

Then Find Someone to sell food - Might have my step-brother-in-law make some food and sell it. He is one heck of a BBQ Cook. He ran a resturant.

Next Get your Local Performance shops to have flier at their shop - Those really do not exist down here. There are trucks and classic events all over the valley.

Join Luxury 4 Play and 6 Speed and post on there - Hmmm.... I will have to think about that one.

Join local racing and car forum post on there - Already done.

Have a local DJ for music - Might just get a nice local radio & tv station

Admission should be around 15 to 20 a car entering in the show - Correct. I also want to get some of the local car dealerships involved. I have two so far and they are the only two I've spoken to. Im the MANI just need to figure out how much I want to charge THEM for showing only ONE new vehicle in the Sport & Luxury Class.

have a couple diffrent classes and get trophies or placks made for the winners - Yep. Still thinking about what classes I want. I'm not going to chose the winners. I will let the crowds chose the winners.
 
You'll need insurance. Liability, Special Event, and maybe some other. You'll have to check with a broker. If you're the one "hosting" the event, and something happens, you're the one they're going to sue.
