So I was thinking last night that I know there are some members here that would like to come to the next West Coast Classic yet lack the funds to do so....


What if we pitch in to make it happen for one or more members.

Once X amount is collected, the "broke" member(s) write a little essay or maybe we just do a drawing and pay to have the member fly out or pay for gas money with the funds........

crazy idea or not????

I'm in for contributing towards it (and no, I won't be in the running for the funds, hahahha)

I say we should be able to nominate a member we would like to see come. Even if they don't post an essay. If they win they will have the first right of refusal.

I think it should be someone from far away...wink wink nudge nudge say no more..

You write the essay in their honor.
Just don't get my name wrong when you do

I nominate Miles!

Druther have the president of the X1NINETEEN.COM club...

Good idea Mike, just hard to decide who to give it to. How about admins, furthest traveler, popular, best looking, etc...

We could use the sponsor donations to divi out more. I'd forego an attendee prize in order to get more people there...

Another vote for Wolfgang...

Posted by: Howard Jan 6 2006, 05:30 PM

We offered a free trip to Miles in 2004. He declined. That makes him ineligible for future consideration, if he really exists.....

What about the guy from down under? Lets see if they all sound like Crocadile Dunndee

Posted by: TurtleGirl Jan 6 2006, 07:09 PM

Jeroen would be my vote! I'd love to meet the guy in person. He does so much for the club from far far away!!!!

Posted by: VegasRacer Jan 6 2006, 07:13 PM

It's not long distance, but Korijo's GOTTA be there !!!

Posted by: jimtab Jan 6 2006, 07:14 PM

I think Jeroen is coming anyway....last I heard...hope so....

At the risk of sounding dated, this idea sounds alot like "Queen for a day".

he exists, and is a really cool guy. I think miles should come... but then he wouldn't be mysterious any more

I am installing a new engine,pick me and I 'll drive it all the way from N. West OHIO. Dave

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 6 2006, 08:07 PM

Jacco is who I nominate as he's a poor student living in that little town Delft, NL.

Posted by: reverie Jan 6 2006, 08:12 PM

Bravo for the idea, Mike!

But it won't be an easy decision..

There are so many deserving people.

How are you doing Dave? Can you make the trip?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 6 2006, 11:48 PM

I am curious to see if Brad will make the trip....
Korijo will make it I am sure if the Van is running.

And 2005 IIRC..

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 7 2006, 10:47 AM

Miles can drive over and stay at the Camp in a tent......

The European guys will have a hard time crossing the ocean.

Who is over there that wants to come?


Timo
Jacco
Gustl

??
I think Jeroen already has plans to come.

I'm in for donating a couple pennies.
