I'm sorry, but I'm with some of the OG's on this.

Everyone "wants" a $5 show, but with $1000 prizes. It just doesn't work that way. Promoting a show, any show, is hard work. I don't care what some people say. It takes planning, logistics, money, time, coordinating, etc. just to get it from story board to reality. If people want cool shows to come here, then they MUST participate when they are here. You don't have to necessarily show all the time, just attend. Show interest. Get together with your crew and make it out to a show once in a while. There are plenty of "non-show" cars that come as a group in order to compete in team entries and the like. That technically is competing. Atleast you're showing your support for the sport you like. You will always have someone pissed because they didn't win. Personally, that motivates certain people like myself.

I understand the whole "I don't have a lot of money" deal. I get it. But if you just sit there and don't support the sport, it WILL go elsewhere. Economics dictate that.

I mean for God's sake, SELOC holds 1-2 meets A MONTH too. Sometimes we have 10 people show, sometimes 50. Mingle with the crowd. Talk to people. Make new connections. Go to a meet every once in a while just to meet the players. That's supporting the sport and that doesn't cost ANYTHING at all. We are a Lexus club, but we invite everyone no matter what you drive all the time. We love to hang out with other clubs and kinds of cars. It's not about, "We're better than you are", it's about "We wanna know WHO you are and WHAT you do to YOUR cars". Anyone that has gone to one of our meets can vouch for that.

If people won't even go to FREE meets, how do you expect promoters to spend big bucks to do a show????? That's why it's not always about money.
