Here's your status report for spring zing 2003
The official name is SpringZing.03 : the midwest invasion (dave came up with it, pretty cool i think)
I'm working on designs for shirts, trophys, fliers, and nametags and stuff.
fee is still TBA
Dates are may 15-18th
Buckshot is going to be producing the trophys, so once i get the designs finished i'm having some vinyl cut so he can sandblast the plaques
dont worry it'll be really cool!
Stereo West here in town has expressed a lot of interest in sponsoring the entire event or a good majority of it as well as letting us have the car show on their property.
Midamerica motorplex is becoming a bit of a dificulty. They would like for us to sit through half a day of classes and then do half a day on the road course. Personally i find no problems with this other than the cost... its outrageous and it will eat the majority of our funds 'pot' if we go ahead with this, need some feedback from you guys on this. They're currently building a 1/8th mile track that should be complete by may, if you guys are interested in dragging there i can guaruntee that would be no problem and probably very cheap.
We also have another drag strip that would be relatively easy to coordinate an event at however i need to know from you guys weather or not you want to drag a new 1/8th mile track, an older 1/4th mile track, or want to blow the entire fundage on getting the road course...
EJ's dyno here in town is also available for these types of events, whose interested in a dyno run?
SCCA NE's schedule is not complete for this year yet so waiting on the SZ Autox info.
Fox42 news is going to be for-sure covering portions of the event, havent been able to contact anyone at the abc, nbc, or cbs affiliates yet, but i'm trying.
Video production will be handled by one of the directors at Fox42 for those of you interested in a springzing.03 video or dvd, as with SZ02 we'll be asking for all of your footage from the event for possible production / inclusion into the video.
Hotel, i know a few people at omni hotels international, they own quite a few hotel chains, we're trying to find a hotel in the area right now that will suit our needs best (ideally big, with banquet hall and a secluded parking lot, not to mention a good price (not too hard to find here though))
Icon Imaging in town will be doing a lot of the printing, as well as shirt shack for the tee-shirts.
we're also putting together a visitors docier of omaha, cool bars, night clubs, things to see etc... for you guys to do during the downtime of the convention.
and thats where we're at...
GIVE ME FEEDBACK
