What do people expect to see at a show these days...

If we use croft weekend as an example...

We provide track action, 0-60 sprint, concours and a static show.


Can I ask the public what they would like to see at a weekender such as croft in the forms of attractions and things to do...


Just trying to see what everybody would like to see.....aside from naked birds

mobile R/R...........maybe if u paid them enough u could make big power again..............................

Dingy

Fucking hell - i aint a miracle worker - but i would give him a session for free if he would turn up to the event then provide a boxing ring for people to have a blast

Dingy

They never appear to be very busy to be honest but maybe we could talk to Mike Gurney and see if he would be up for it....

What about a Bouncy Castle??

in all seriousness - a mobile R/R could be a good idea, and its always good when a large amount of the regional groups turn up with a big collection of cars.

makes for a good social aspect nattering to people.

are the mobile once actually acurate though?ive always shyed away from them.



dingy,not that i'd be interested myself but what about a radio controlled car tornament with a small prize?

Dingy

So the RR could be a goer really....

Would have to see if that is possible then....


PF grudge mate - PF being who ? Performance Ford ?

Dingy

So a list then...

1. RR shootout
2. Radio Controll Car shoot out
3. Bouncy castle - pretty sure we had those LOL
4. Grudge match - no sure how you would do this, only on the 0-60

mikee_rs

u have hit the nail on the head there!

thats all i need, oh a decent catering

Dingy

Catering is a grey area really because its nothing to do with us, its provided by the show ground.

.....mag or maybe peoples cars from different tuners......similar spec......do it on the road outside then compaire on the rollers...........nothing illegal ofcourse...

Dingy

Pete thats daft mate...

We could possibly do RR then 0-60 but thats all mate...

But its a GOOD idea - maybe the mag could help with this one

Sexy-RS

1/4 mile action lol

Dingy

That would be awesome but most venues are limited to space....

pete mcrash

iTrader: (1)

...see the 0-60 involves full on launchin'.........thats a problem with most............30-130........or similar would be better for everyday cars....

Bullett

what about the good old cheesey tug o war.

and no im not being pervy when i say tug.

pete mcrash

iTrader: (1)

do it on the A1.....................fuk the police.............

Dingy

Again that depends on the venue really due to space....


You are very limited to show grounds at a show...

space hoppers

you have changed the date this year that seems a much better time of year will go to that one which will be my first time at croft

has anyone heard whats happening to nat day this year as wont be going to it if its at the previous venue [which i was told was a load of pony ]

How about some stocks so folk can pelt certain forum "celebrities" with rotten veg and shite? Tenner a bucketful with proceeds going to charity.

Now yer cooking with gas!
Charity lottery with winner getting to stone Phil to death. 50 sheets a ticket. Christ it would make more than Glastonbury.

I assume we are talking about the Croft show in particular?

Last year if not my favourite deffo one of my top 3 shows, the actual content of the show in my opinion you can't better, for me personally the only things that let it down where

The Them and Us feeling we got as a NON RS club, we where sent to the back and beyond, and in the evening when we tried to make our entertainment we got dropped on like a ton of bricks by security...

The lack of entertainment on the night (maybe had we been more included that wouldn't have been so evident?)

For suggestions...

Night time entertainment?

The RC idea is Mint

What about some off road action like the Rage Buggies? They had them at the Goodwood Festival and they where a right screem.

Karts?

Drifting? maybe where the 0 - 60 is? so long drifting and then so long 0 - 60?

Dingy

GTechR


take what you said on board mate....

We wanted a disco in the evening to make every body welcome....

Trying for the same again this year mate....

So bare with us on that as it was out of our hands....

As for the security - hit and miss to what they allowed....which aint brilliant with inconsistancy....

Hmmm

Im going to flip it the other way first and tell you what I dont want to see

1) Rocket powered vans
2) Parade laps
3) Russ Swift style displays (yawn - yep the guy can drive... but yawn)
4) Traders selling sweets candy floss and all other things non car related.

So Derby & Durham organisation as I cant remember seeing any of them

And now for what I would maybe like to see..

1) Build section where people can bring along current projects being worked on (plenty part finished stuff out there waiting to get to shows.. so bring them along)

2) 100% novice and ladies track sessions 1 per morning and 1 per afternoon at reduced rates to give them a safe taster of track driving without the worry of nob heads hunting them down.

3) Beer tent Sat night with entertainment and food until midnight (noise regs). Keeps people together and makes it openly social and less clicky.

4) Track hire cars (not just passenger laps). Standard hire car ala top gear.

5) More things for the kids such as small karting area and mini fun fair etc
(Makes it a complete family weekend)

Dingy

Cheers Tony

GTechR

With all the 'names' coming up this time, what about a celeb only track session?

I for one would love to see the likes of The Reyland Cossie, Your Mk2, Andy G's & Charlie Shaw's Focus's etc etc all out at the same time on there own
