OK guys... I am not trying to Spam your lovely forum... just looking for some advice. I understand the economy is crap and the current rallies are a little raw and over the top, because all you mainly hear is about the bad outcome... so this has pushed away anyone that would have any interest.

We are working to change that standard.
This is NOT the prince of lala lands Rally that cost 50k to go home with nothing after 5 days!!

Basically... lets get right down to it... We are working on a New US Rally for the 2010 season. There will be more then one Rally every Year... each one very different from the next.

The First Rally will be over Five Days in the SouthEast.
Covering 2200 miles through 9 States.
Parties, Challenges, Checkpoints, Car Shows, and best off all... Prizes.
You have the opportunity to win significantly more then the cost of entry.

Sponsors will also be providing gifts in various forms.
Currently we have a 5 Star Hotel, Energy Drink, and Electronics Sponsor that not only were happy to be apart, they are anxious to help and have created custom packages/systems for each.

Cars will be limited to only a few of the same makes and models... no more then 3 Exige/ Elise/ Esprit ect... and no more then 5 Lotus total.
The Rally is limited to 50 Cars (2 people each).

Every aspect of this Rally has been looked at in a way that YOU are looking forward to what is going to happen next. You go on Vacation to do something different and see new places... This Rally is a Vacation!!
I am about to go on Vacation in a week... and I know by the 5th to 7th day I will want to be Home... the same ol' beach, relaxing, and lounging around... its really easy to spend close to 10k on a simple vacation, and do nothing!!
Go Rally!!!

So... I dont want to give out to much info because, honestly, I dont want all our ideas getting used against us, by other rallies. However... I do want to know what you think so far, and If you have a question.. please feel free to ask!!

2. U.S. currency only
3. being this is a Driving Rally... we can Not condone the use of drugs or alcohol... nor will they be provided. Strippers are optional (co-driver)?!?

-Drew

 

[xtn]

Strippers are optional (co-driver)?!?

Meaning you'll provide one if we opt in?

xtn

 

[MadScientist]

:nanner2:

Bring your own co-driver.

Hopefully someone you trust to drive your car... and able to read a map!!

If that happens to be a Stripper... so be it... more fun durring the rally!!

Do I really need to post a disclaimer... basically.. if its illigal, its not part of the rally!!

Summer 2010 SouthEast event will Start in Houston, TX

-Drew
:shift:

 

[xtn]

Starts in Houston? I'd be interested depending on the price.

I don't think it's illegal for you to provide strippers though.

xtn

 

[richw350]

I would be interested depending on price.

 

[RichS]

O its really easy to spend close to 10k on a simple vacation, and do nothing!!

If I had to guess, I'd guess he's thinking close to 10K? Depending on the hotels and parties, 10K could be a deal... Assuming he's going to provide strippers as co-drivers.

 

[cobrabyte]

I would be interested depending on price.

Price is being worked out every day. Everyday we add something new and get new information. The event is a full year away and we are working out every single detail. Once we get to the 6 month point, we will start taking full deposits to fill the grid.

We do have the route planned!! Starting in Houston, TX!! That is all I can tell you right now. Not trying to bore you to death with driving 8-10 hours a day... so we do have short runs filled with events and checkpoints.

Strippers... OK... your experience is what you make of it, right. VIP access to Clubs... includes Strip Clubs. Remember we are cattering to everyone... so if we provide naked chics... we have to provide naked dudes... think about it!! Lets not go there!! So.. if YOU bring a stripper as your co-driver (cup holder)... that is what YOU made of the rally!!!

You have the opportunity to win significantly more then the cost of entry!!!

-Drew

 

[agirls]

Ohhhhhh Naked Dudes! I'm in, lol!

And there are cheaper rallies out there. The Great American Run is $8000.

 

[...m...]

...if i were to pay this kind of money for a rally i think i'd go for something more serious, like the targa newfoundland...

 

[def]

lowest price possible > higher admission prices + cash prizes


- people will enter for fun, not to win money
- people will drive safer
- maybe some gag type gifts or trophies

 

[MadScientist]

We haven't released a Cost yet, so lets not speculate!!

Targa Newfindland is not the same... its a Full out Race spec... Non street legal.. closed Road Event you must be liscenced to enter!!
Great American Run (Cannonball) is also not the same!! In fact you have to take a breathalizer to start off the grid everyday and you are Timed strickly to maintain a set speed!

PLEASE... I do not wish to bash anyone elses Hard work in creating their Rally... Our Rally is different then any other Rally available... If you want want strick guidelines and full out racing competition... This is not for you... Thank you!!

If you are looking for a 5 Day Driving Adventure-Vacation... then join!!
If you wish to enter just for Fun... you will still recieve gifts!!

We are keeping the cost as low as possable... we are not increasing the price to offer more gifts/prizes/etc... Price is reflected by the main expences and fees that are typically unseen like State Permits. So the Rally would cost the same without... its just not as fun that way!!

Prizes and Gifts.... lets elaborate on this concept. These are offered by the Sponsors and by the Rally itself, to our Guest. Lets say when you get to a stop... The first to jump in a pool to get your room key... gets a Herme's towel... or even a set of Rims... its all possable!! And Yes, we are cattering to women also... in fact, one of our business partners (female) has been critical in designing the events!!

We know people will drive stupid and they are compelled to drive with-in the legal limits... If you get arrested and your car gets impounded... its your problem and the Rally is not responsable!!! We know how long it takes to get from point A to point B and we have allowed sufficent time to arrive... We also have checkpoint set-up to slow you down and get you out of the car on long trips!!

Like I have mentioned before... Everything, has been considered!!

Thank you for the coments and consideration... I hope everyone is reading the thread completly to better understand what we are offering!!

-Drew

 

[...m...]

Sunday!!! Sunday!!! Sunday!!!

...okay, more seriously, it sounds like you're planning an ambitious event and i hope it works out successfully for everyone interested, but you might find it advantageous to tone down your presentation a notch or two...

 

[MadScientist]

Dont worry I am human, just trying to keep it profesional and not stray off topic. I am exited about what we are offering... but I am really worried also.

I love how the questions started off with Herpies and strippers... It was funny as hell here, because Mitzi was down my back about releasing info about Strip Clubs... and my god, drugs on the rally stirred a hornets nest.

Word of Mouth is the best advertising ever. If we can get you guys as exited about this rally as we are, then we hope you will tell others.

I have posted this on Lamborghini, Masseratti, and Porsche Forums also... but you guys have been the most active!! :bow:

So my question to you.....
What do you think about limiting the # of vehicles by Make and Model??
(ex: 3 Exige/ Esprit/ Elise... no more the 5 Lotus Makes Total)

-Drew

 

[agirls]

Well, since you are limiting the event to 50 cars, it's not a bad idea. It might make for some competition to get one of those slots though for the more abundant makes.

 

[MadScientist]

You guys and gals have been very helpfully, and really hope you will find the time to join us!!

Lets turn this around a bit... I was hoping you had more questions... So, I guess I could ask a few.

Other then Strippers and Naked Dudes... What would you like to see, do, etc.. as part of the Rally??
