MM Spring Car Show 2015 - Planning Thread

[Ryan T]

I'm assuming this has been thought of before but what about having the show off campus? Why must it be on campus? Too many politics in my opinion. Tell Debbie to shove it up her ass and discuss with a local business/ lot. The longer it takes to get a date and finalize, the less people that are going to attend IMO.

When I was president we had a show off campus at a local shop that later went out of business. While it was neat in a way because we had access to a dyno, the show just didn't have the same 'excitement' you get when it's on campus. And what you save with negotiating specifics with JMU you end up having to do with the business where you throw the show at. Who gets the money from the entrants, who pays for advertising/trophies, who gets food money, liability, merchandise, blah blah blah. It was neat to try but I don't recommend it, doing in on campus is the way to go. Just the buzz that the show causes around campus with students walking through is worth having it on campus.
