what about a date inbetween the 2 dates? mid june? early july? that would help solve the increased hotel prices, and maybe even more people could show up?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Were making this happen by moving from one currently scheduled event to another. As far as I know there isn't three events we can attend that weekend. The auto cross seems to be the big draw card and the reason we have had so much trouble getting the event going. BTW: When the 914's show up at the AX it will be a site to behold! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I'm Tellin ya! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) The planning group is open to all suggestions. But once the event is set for this year we will all need to make the best time we can. I'd be worried if this was the old pharts club. But you guy's (and gals ) are real car people and know how to par-tay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . The most important thing as I see it is everyone do their best to make the event. Next event we should have a better handle on. We'll have a year to plan and not 8 months through several holidays.

Can road racers AX? The idea is to pick up as many cones as you can, like on Fear Factor, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Looks like a dead heat.    I'd say just pick a date.

QUOTE
This thing is a dead heat! We need a tie breaker.


Can we make a list of the pros & cons for each of the dates?
I'm looking for objective comments not personal reasons.
Which date would be best for the greatest number of people?


PRO June - Lower cost for hotel rooms and airlines. Cooler temps for cross country drivers.

CON June - Graduation.

PRO July - More time to get ready.

CON July - Conflict with Monterey Historic and Mid-west classic.

Please add your impartial input. We need to make a choice. Soon!

I don't know if any of you noticed, but...

CON: Dave Barber's Mid West Classic is a week after our WCC
I'd hate to see us rain all over his event

I know it's gonna be hard to please everybody
(damned if you do, damned if you don't)

My preference would be the original date or move it up 2 or 3 weeks (end of june)

Just my 0.02 euro

cheers,

nail down the date. what ever it is. the polling could go on until JUNE! maybe less is more with regards to this event. perhaps letting us just READ the locked down thread might be beneficial. flip a coin, i don't care how the date is established. spare us the hanging chards.

I agree with Kevin. We need a date. I appreciate the effort of all who are planning this. And it's great that you are trying to please as many people as you can but, no matter how many votes you get in this poll you will never be able to fit it to everyones schedule unless you have an event every weekend through the summer. (Someone would still have a conflict). The salvation is that next year you can vote all over and go through this again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Seriously, thanks for all your work and let's get as many people together as we can, have an off the charts good time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) so everyone will want to massage their calenders to accommodate your schedule next year.

Ya, If we could locate an AX, Show and shine/ concours, etc. in that slot it may be better. We'll see what life tosses us.

Ok, so to cut things short...
The final date will depend on the lot where the AX / Concours can be held (right?)

Bottom line:
The poll shows that what ever date we pic, there's enough people who will show up for the event

I suggest we close this poll/thread and leave it to the event-planners to set a final date (what ever it will be)

cheers,

Jeroen

Thanks for the great feedback with this Poll. After less than 4 days of being up, we hereby declare it a huge success and it has given us solid encouragement. The poll shows that it’s a dead heat in terms of preferred dates for the event, and that we should expect to see at least ~50 attendees and probably a few more with active promotion between now and then. Those are very encouraging indications without any real publicity. Not everyone can attend on either date selected, but its good to see that either date will work for most.

There are a couple of essential items remaining to be resolved before the final dates for the WCC can be determined and the planning committee is working on those voraciously. It would be premature to select and publicize the event dates until sometime in mid to late March, after those issues are resolved.

Stay tuned and don't delay in getting your 914s ready for a whooping good time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

My only concern for the later date is the Monteray Historics and the 912 Rendezvous 2004 (I know you don't care) are both in Monteray the next two weekend. There is a bunch going on that month.

all due respect - how many people east of the Intermountain region are seriously considering attending the west coast event ? okay - one or two...

an event 1500 miles away is not serious competition...

there's a teeny chance i can attend Dave's event, and zero chance i'm going to California this year. true, i am planning on attending the Daytona Rennfest instead of the Hershey swapmeet/autocross that's right next door. i'm sure i'm not alone. i'm also sure the event will go on just fine without me.

the later event also conflicts with Parade. if you check the Zone calendars from every coastal PCA zone from the mid-Atlantic region clockwise through to the Pacific Northwet, there's -something- going on -every- weekend of the year.

more than anything - dates are governed by venues, and people will continue to have to make choices.

and remember - THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR. do you think a Parade is thrown together in 6 months ? the 2005 Parade committee is meeting MONTHY now - 18 months out ! remember all these wonderful ideas about locations and events and activities and be ready to execute for the 2005 event.

venues like to have contracts sewn up in the fourth quarter for the following year so they can publish calendars and budget promotional activities. people with strong preferences on putting together an event that didn't get their way this year should be starting work on the 2005 event.
