We need a traditional show in Phoenix

We are thinking maybe a run on Saturday and then a show somewhere on Sunday ? That would make it a cool weekend. Just one of the ideas being kicked around right now.

 

Keep the updates coming Kerry! subscribing to this thread now

 

You want a run and a nice size bar/parking lot here is one that I had started looking into when we were doing the Sinners Prescott run..leave east valley out to payson,pine,strawberry and into camp verde then hitting i 17 down into phoenix. 241 miles..that is my little bike trip i take on the harley during summer to get out of town for the day... maybe have an even and book the rooms in the area or just camp out...

Hurry and type Kerry... I'm anxious to see what everyone thinks!

 

Well......What does everyone think of BilletProof Arizona ? Alan has expressed some interest in bringing his show to the valley for us. Nick has spoken with him and it seems like this could be a REAL possibility. We still need to get together with our meeting and shoot some stuff around about locations and other stuff, but it seems like it could be a cool thing.

 

BilletProof would get you leaps and bounds ahead on a show with history and backing to show what is accepted and what is not. DesertDroog talked to me about this post and you all need to know that it takes years of putting on the same show to get it recognized as a good show with good quality. The greasball that I did took 6 years to get it where it was with quality of cars. That show was focused on the cars with music and vendors as secondary and was at a good bar that has good parking with lots of shade and good access for inside and out entry of people. This show should be once year and should happen in the fall since trying to put something together on short notice before the heat comes. By taking the time to plan it all out and good advertising you could have killer show in the fall. Remember that doing the show on you own will take years to build it up with history for a good reputation. BilletProof will get you there alot faster.

 

We are thinking a fall show and of course the cars come first. Bands, Vendors and other stuff takes a backseat to the cars. But cool to have that stuff as well.....Certainly do not have time to do a show before summer. That much is a given, so we are aiming now toward October possibly.

 

October next year would be awesome.. if you want to pull people from out of state I would shoot for next year as short time planning tends to backfire..

 

Billetproof Arizona.

Has a nice ring to it

We are talking it over, some details to be worked out, some meetings to be had, some scouting missions to be undertaken... but it looks like a good possibility.

 

is it too early to start carving the word "Billetproof" into a jack-o-lantern?

 

Yes it does have a good ring to it. Plus, with the success of Billetproof in other areas, hopefully this could turn into a good annual show for us. GGuys is fun but imagine a field full of traditional. Sounds good to me.....

 

Yip, Falcon Field, the B 17 is usually here for a couple of months at the the CAF hanger. It usually flys right over the top of my house/garage at about a 1,000 feet AGL when its on a left downwind for SW landing. Tough not to recoginize the sound of those four BIG round power engines, I remember that sound when I was a kid in the early forties
I'm in for whatever is put together for a show/run. Dave

 

Agreed. The cool thing is that a big show may generate the enthusiasm to start smaller cruise-ins and such throughout the rest of the year.

 

perhaps

the Billetproof Florida Drags are Oct. 24, 2010... so late Oct. is kinda out.

 

Alright guys, I spoke with the folks down at the Burton Barr Library in Downtown Phoenix this afternoon and they have a Conference room available on May 8th. The upsides are that its only going to cost $20 for a two hour rental and the room will hold more then 20 people. The downside is that the room is not available until 2:30 that afternoon. They are holding the reservation for us without deposit for 48 hours, but as long as no one objects, I'll go ahead and get it booked.

 

Dude if they need cash I'm 3blocks away! Go ahead and book the room. I also second a Billitproof Phoenix.

 

That would be great Chip, I'll PM you the ladies name and # down at the branch. We can call it in or handle in person.

 

Kerry, This is a good Idea for the mean time!

 

Chandler and Kyrene,,,,,sorry, im just now catching up with everybody.

 

That would be no problem Nick. I'll go down and handle the deposit tomorrow afternoon if there is an agreement on that date and time. Anyone, anyone, Bueler ??

 

When I spoke with the lady at the library today she said the only time slot available for Sat. the 8th is from 2:30-4:30. I figured 2 hours was better then one...

 

Wow...what a great idea..Billetproof AZ. I have been away for a while (trying to get my truck done). I am pissed I have to leave the state to attend good nostalgic shows. We need a good show here in AZ. I am glad to hear the ideas of having one here. Count me in.

I am in on the 8th. See you there.

 

Let know!

 

Looks like 5 of us are in for sure, we still have room for 20 more!

 

In for the 8th

 

Do keep in mind fellas that we've moved the meeting to 2:30pm on the 8th, NOT at 11am as originally planned. Mark you calendar's!

 

So we're on then?

 

May 8th, 2010 at 2:30 pm.


Chip please call me if there are any problems with booking that room tomorrow!

 

On the calender. Now someones just got to tell me where the Library is.
