[DML] Re: DCS2006 suggestions

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been discussing a lot of suggestions with a lot of owners
and with a few of the vendors and some of these ideas sound like
they should be seriously considered for the DCS 2006 event, so
I will keep a few at the top of my "wish list" for the event.

- Attempt to schedule the vendor room sale time NOT during the
car show, possibly the day before the show, while other non-D
related activities are going on.  This allows everyone a chance
to visit vendors and allows the vendors to enjoy the car show.

- Have a scheduled but informal "pre-show" parking lot show at
night, since a lot of folks are already doing this every night.
There are more and more cars that have some type of non-stock
lighting that is best viewed outdoors and at night.

- Use the VIN line-up idea for a dual purpose: the VIN line-up
can be done in the reserved parking area, thus creating your
own reserved space, leaving at least one empty space between
reserved spaces to allow for walk-in registration vehicles.
People can then take photos of this line-up in the mornings,
when most of the cars will still be at rest in the lot.

- Those planning to drive to the show should attempt to get to
the show early in the week, especially if you think you may
need to get some work done after you get to the event.  Many of
those who can help you out would rather do so before the event
or after the event, so they will be able to enjoy the event.
If there is enough interest (advanced scheduled work), we may
be able to have one or more of the service vendors come early
or stay later to assist with more advanced repairs at a shop.

Keep the ideas coming.

Later,
Rich W.
