Huge Cobalt Meet Next Year....

I think there should be a huge cobalt meet next year. I was sent an email from a guy from a car show and its about holding car club meet or shows. Check out the website for it....http://www.armoryevents.com/page1/page1.html. I think if someone can organize this we could have a decent size meet/show. We could try to get a dynojet to come, some tuning with HP Tuners, part swap, maybe some vendors could come. I just read that email and was thinking about it. Anyone think this would be a good idea? Hold it like in spring/summer. Organize it early and plan it out so its not thrown together. I think somewhere in central PA would be a good central place to hold it. Again its just an idea.

We would have to find someone that would want to head up this event and get the ball rolling. I think it would be awesome. I could help with things, but I dont want to be the one to organize the whole thing.

you should talk to that guy that organizes, i would love to help, but i dont have connections like you guys, being from a small town and all. lets see what some of the connections some of our members have here. if we pull our resources, then we can have one huge meet.

2. Clubs must have conducted at least 5 successful events in the past attracting a minimum of 50 show cars. Clubs should be able to provide photos or web sites recapping the events.

I saw that one too and thought the same thing you are thinking...heres my thought. Being our cars are brand new (within 3 years) we as a group havent been able to organize a meet of that caliber. But we do have a huge database and x amount of members on here so we might be able to squeeze by on that one.

i think if we do a multi day event it will allow more people to travel and we may be able to get a hotel or campground to give a group discount

an atv site that my parents belong to just started organizing huge meets in the PA area (Quadfest) and you would be surprised what business will give to get their name on it. This past year, the second year of the event, we had about 1800 people and quads.

this could take off, it just takes alot of planning and very dedicated people who want to see the success of it.
