I'd like to say thanks to MAP for putting on this event. I had a great time, even with the light attendance numbers. Here are some of my ideas:
1) Don't beat yourself up over finding a free weekend to do this. You can't find one. Summer is too short. Just don't overlap any major events. HIN in Chicago is not one of them for MN residents.
2) Need a booth for information. The person at the booth should be fully informed of everything going on.
3) Hand out a schedule of events when you first get there. Put times and as much detail as you can. Then make sure to stick to the schedule.
4) I think Friday/Saturday worked okay, but obviously Sat/Sun would be even better.
5) Don't have the competition parts overlap. Obviously time trials will overlap. Just stagger the finals of the different events, and put that on the nice schedule you'll be handing out.
6) There should be some kind of awards ceremony at the end. And at the very least you should post the winners on MitsuStyle since know one knows I took best Jap car at the car show.
Thanks,
Curt
