Still like the pizza cruises, the sight of a long line of TRs going down PCH can't be beat. Also if you haven't been there, the Korean Bell area where we would meet up is a beautiful place in itself. Since there are so many from south of L.A., you could reverse the route and end up at the Bell, and since its a public park I would assume we would have no problems showing up there.

Korean Bell of Friendship San Pedro, California USA


Any place that is going to charge to show up there wouldn't be practical for most, especially if this isn't going to be a car show with awards. Thought I read in one of the threads everyone wanted to get away from that.

While were thinking of a place to meet.

A few things I was pondering. First off. I do think that we have a nice vacume here for a big show(s).

This summer.
--------------
It's mid June as I type this. "If" we decide on a show in the next week or two, with a six to eight week lead time to get the best turn out. That puts us some time in August (ish). This would mean that we would most likely be looking at one more "Big" car show this summer. Not to say that we couldn't have other nice get togethers before and after it.

Next summer.
---------------
If we felt that intrest was strong enough. We could do two or three big shows. One, at the first part of summer (May-ish), the second in June or July. With the last being around August. If we did three shows. One could be in the SD area (Bates, Deer Park, Stone Brewery, Etc). The second show could be in OC or inland. The third could be in the LA area. Each show would be put on by locals in that area who are willing to do it. We would also want to try our best to support each others shows. It might actualy be fun to see which group could put on the most enjoyable get together. If wanted, it shouldn't be too hard to get support from sponsors to do some fun stuff (T-shirts, raffels, etc).

IMO, if money's involved. it would be best to have an open book policy. If more money was brought in, (EG: sponsor dough for T-shirts) it be rolled farward to the next show or used to suport the cause. It should be kept simple. Just post up what came in and what went out. If someone has something to say about it, speak up.

IMHO, To get the best turn out, it would be nice if we could keep the shows free to enter. Not to say that we couldn't sell T-shirts or raffel stuff off, to offset the costs if needed.

As most of you know, I have always been a sucker, to support a Turbo Buick cause. I know that there are many more "suckers" here that would chip in to see the So Cal Turbo Buick scene remain strong. I think the people to do this are right here. From what I've seen, we've got more than enough dough to do it up nice. We just need a little organization, a few people to step up, and for ALL OF US to get off our lazy arses and support those who make this happen.

Thoughts?

Wow great minds think alike......

Mike we seem to be thinking the same thing. I would like to help.

I have been doing some searching for shirts to sell to help raise money for shows. I was thinking a black polo with a Turbo 6 logo on it and maybe names or screen names from here. T shirts in black and white, not sure about what print to use but working on that. A hat with a Turbo 6 logo might sell pretty well too. I would like to make it where people can order directly from the vendor that will keep it simple.

I think the idea of rotating shows to different areas is great idea. These get togethers can be anything from a pizza cruise, a show at a vendors shop, dyno runs at a shop and so on.

If you look around this board there is only one area that does not have a club of some sort for Buicks or turbocharged cars. That would be us.

I have kicked around the idea of starting a car club for this area but the question is; is there enough people willing to participate?

I would like to see how well 3 (possibly) shows go with everyone over this summer and go from there. I have the time to keep up with the demands of doing something like a club but there has to be the demand for it.
I won't do it alone. Quite frankly no one person should. There needs to be transparency and teamwork for all to enjoy it.

I'm thinking out loud here so let me know what you guys think.
