The Jacob Javits Center isn't too bad of an idea. I think it would cost about $800-1000 for a booth though.
I will start working on sponsors for the event next week and see what I can drum up. I think we can actually pull this off. If we have it in Seaside...I have a good chance to get atleast 3 sponsors. I'm basing this on how many people participate in this thread to see if there's a real interest.
I was thinking of raising money like this:
FREE FOR EVERYONE TO ENTER THE EVENT!!!!!
Racing Participants:
Will have an entry fee to enter into the race heats.
3 classes...Newb, Med and Pro. Maybe $5 each...so it's affordable. I'm not looking to profit from it...this is supposed to be fun!!!
Company Sponsors:
Can rent a table to pimp their wares. I have 6 specific people/car companies in mind that may be interested in the opportunity if we get a good attendance. I think if we could get 5 sponsors we would be ok.
Donations:
Anything can be considered a donation...from money to someone to help build the tracks. Maybe someone can offer some free or discounted trophies or other prizes. How about a shirt or sticker company to offer some free or discounts. Anything is helpful.
Food Vendor:
We could get a small percentage of what the vendor pulls in for the day.
I've helped with organizing an event (of this magnitude...lol) before...so I have a good idea of what needs to be done. It's just a matter of getting the participants and sponsors.
Anyone with ideas, comments or donors?
