since we are already starting to look forward to next year with our planning i ask that all of you help get the ball rolling with the promotion. please let your friends and fellow enthusiasts on the other forums know about the day we had. the more people get it in their head now, the more will be prepared for the 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals!!!!

thanks again to everyone for coming out. as i said before, we have a ton fo really good notes we took away from this year. we will be back with a little mroe tweaking and a little better promotional plan for next year to see if we can put even more cars in the lanes and on the show field of Island Dragway in the '08.

You know what might be a cool category, Best Race Car. Since there were a lot of nice looking cars racing, it would be cool to award something even though they aren't registered in the show field. Just a thought.

Thanks again Tim. I ate all my vegetables for the record. As for the car I only have a few more small touches for the exterior my stereo will be done this month and then I can move on to more bolt ons and who knows what else. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that there is always something on the list.

i agree; that is a great idea...

how about possibly having a limit to the amount of trophys that one person is able to win.. like 3 ?

how about runner-up and/or third place trophies to the cars racing, instead of just the winners. maybe get a big banner or something to hang over the tent, saying NJFBOA or whatever, so people know who put on the event and where theyre located. are there any other locations open to this....like someplace you can have a show, drag, and autox course. Etown does it, but im sure its expensive to rent it out for a day.

a bigger venue coudl happen someday, we aren't there yet though. we also have the advantage of having been allowed to use the facilities at Island Dragway at no charge for the last 3 years, it is a tough deal to beat. nice facilities, great people, and a nice drive in/out to cruise your car.

i have worked with e-town and atco before, bigger facilities have some very unique challenges that i don't think we are currently in a position to take on. as the club grows and as the nats build up over the next few years maybe we will consider moving the event.

we are going to be getting a club banner for our events, hopefully soon. we jsut didn't have funds available to get one before the nats. i was lso looking into getting the club title, logo, and url screened onto the easy-up that we have for use when we attend larger events.

We had trophies for the winner and runner up of each racing class.

as far as i know, i was runner up in the street tire bracket, and never got anything. i waited till tim said they went through all the awards they had to give out, unless i missed some.

.....because you'll be racing instead of showing.

I'm sure that was in reference to the car show awards. We didn't give out any of the racing awards then - we had announcements made a few times over the PA for racers to come get their awards, but not many did (or even came and asked about them).

We'll make sure that you get your trophy.....
