this poll is for everyone to "help" decide what date to have the spring pcb bash

IT IS HELD IN PANAMA CITY BEACH FLORIDA

I want to get this rolling so that folks can preplan for next year

I have had a few questions about dates and such and here is a few ideas to help you decide that were given to me by the people that attended this years GTG.



1. the question of Kids, Kids are welcome at the GTG, during the day they can have plenty of things to do, at night , they should be in bed, the gatherings at night are no place for kids.

2. Also has been noted about school time and kids getting out of school and such, most people dont bring there kids, so they must make arrangments for them whether in school or out of school so that should not come into play.

3.also not that before labor day the rates are ALOT cheaper , as well as the food and shopping seem to be alot cheaper before the "tourist" season begins

4. The outside temps are also a bit less the further towards the beggining of may, so take that also into consideration if you plan on racing.

we cannot accomidate everyone , but this is your chance to give your input on the date of the spring gtg


The location is not changing, the track is not changing, doing this would take away some of the PCB tradition, so some of those things will stay the same.
Some things that will or may change is a dyno day added, a fuller race day with possible cheaper costs to the racers,a car/truck show with trophys and an actuall schedule of events with times and where and whens so folks want be left wondering.
We are also gonna do some more advertising on different forums to hopefully bring in more folks, such as the hemi crowd, the lx crowd, and yes the ford crowd.
We hope in the years to come to bring this to a national status with everyones help.

PCB as most will tell you is a very special place , where friends come together, and new friends are made. All are welcome

And we also hope to have at the very least unleashedtuning to attend the spring GTG, and do a dyno day and help with track tunning.
Other vendors are very welcome to help sponsor the event , and even have there logo added to the shirts for a minimum cost.

Every Year the GTG has grown larger and larger,this year we had over 60 folks attend, with them comming from accross the country to gather with friends, hopefully we can have an even larger crowd next year , and bring in even more new people.

So even if you dont usually post, or would like to attend , no matter the make or model, please give us your input so we can give you the best possible GTG we can, I will leave this poll up for a couple weeks so that all can get a view, and once the decision is made by the people there will be no changes in the date, with the exception of cancellation due to unforseen problems beyond our control.
and if you like you may let us know also if you plan on attending, and we are welcome to suggestions, but these are the dates chosen , and the events and places are non negotiable.


thanks

I`m in for sure Tony.:fing02:

Just talked to the girlfriend and she is pumped for attending as well.

I picked the 17th but it really doesn`t matter to us on the dates.

I WOULD suggest NOT doing it Mother`s Day w/e or Memorial Day w/e.

Looking forward to starting a tradition for us in PCB.

Due to the votes on another forum being tainted, I had to close that poll, but with this poll I have made a decision

the Spring JTSVP PCB will be the first week of may

and this is good because one it gives folks time to plan

also , food , gas, and especially rooms are half what they are after first of June.

I cant please all, but I hope this helps with planning next year fellas,

in about a week I will post some info up for everyone to know what is going on


thanks

Tony, we (you) should consider writing to a few auto/truck magazines and see if we could get some coverage this time. Would be sweet if Road & Track or some other rag showed up to cover the event, would certainly bring in a larger crowd (a good thing?), and help make it a national event (I think it already is). May have to impose restrictions to keep it "in the family?"

I'm just sayin'...

I AGREE! Alot more people would attend.

I may have to get som efolks to help me this year, it really runs me a bit ragged ,

but we do plan on doing a bit more advertising this year:fing02:

after talking with a few members the past few days that attended, here is what we plan for next year

Now one thing for those that are new and dont knwo me well, I am my only employee, so sometimes it takes me a bit to get back to some if things get busy, its a lone deal, but we are growing and trying to do it slo so I dont end up like alot of others that try to get rolling

but anyway on to next year

this is what I wnat to do

it is 95% sure first week of may

couple reasons why

the room rates are about $80-$150 cheaper

less crowded and cooler, some folks actually had some probs it was so freakin hot, plus the track will be quicker the cooler it is.

now I will prob get there on a tuesday, most folks come in on either wed or thursday, I do suggest as early as you can, because time does fly by.

but on thursday I am gonna try to organize a dyno day shootout deal, and get with torrie and see if we cant offer tuning and maybe even special pricing.

friday will be the track day, we are working on cheaper pricing , but that will be determined by how many attend.
the classes will be determined on what vehicles show up
but there will be a NA class, a forced induction class, poweder puff and a completly open class

now saturday I want to do a car show deal, only like a 3-4 hour thing, but possibly also where folks can drop some of there used parts too and do a swap meet sorta thing.

now as far as vendors, sponsors and such, in the past I tried an tried to get folks to help to no availe. so now if someone wants to help sponsor, they are more than welcome, it will get them a spot on the shirts, and possible a banner or so.

now if anyone wants to vend at the track , dyno, or car show, we will hve to figure that one out, but I think next year it will still be a bit small so I amay not have to worry about it.

but jsut to let folks know also , we are gonna advertise on the hemi forums, the lx forums, and the mustang and lighting as well as the camaro forums

we want to open it up to all , so that all can have a great time:fing02:

we are def open to suggestions also, and take all into consideration

thanks

Also ,and I dont really know how to explain this unless you have attended panama

but alot of folks worry they dont want to attend if they cant drive there trucks.................


its not about the trucks, its about the people you will meet and the friends that will be made:fing02:

we have guys fly in from california, utah, pennsylvania, arkansas, and a ton of folks from texas.

to give you some idea, we got there on tuesday, I drove the challey to eat that day, didnt drive it really again until almost friday to the track with the exception of small little food runs.

so dont worry too much about bringing your ride, they are a part of the GTG show, but not a neccessary as Viper jeff will def tell ya:fing02:

and a word about the moonspinner condos

they are actuall condos, either 2-3 bedrooms , fully furnished, two full bathrooms, and a full kitchen and with washer and dryer, and all face the beach..

so you do have full amenities, plus what most folks do is team up with another or another couple and it cuts the rooms down quite a bit, actually usually cheaper than a reg motel , so you come out good, with nice rooms, and decent pricing

the parking lot is guarded, and lite up very well, and all things are very close, from walmart to the grocery store, so no worries about having to drive 30 miles to get anything.:fing02:

if anyone has any questions please ask:reporter:

I'm gonna put my 2 cents in here. And this only because I dont want to see you stressing too much. If you're gonna get all these forums involved. Then I would suggest, finding the head dude from each of those forums to coordinate there own people. You stress enough as it is with just us. My only fear is, if this gets too big, then that tight close knit factor may not be there. I definitely dont want to see us lose the whole SRT10 thing. I agree it's not all about the trucks. But u cant argue that fact, that the trucks are what brought us all together. And there's just something VERY SPECIAL about 20 or so SRT10's rolling down PCB. Think about, how many times in your lifetime can someone say that they witnessed that many 10's in one place. The look on those people's faces is priceless. I would just hate too lose that factor. Alot of people may not know what a 10 is. But they do know they are seeing soemthing way cool.

Now that is def a good idea buddy:fing02:

but no, dont worry, the ALLMIGHTY RAM SRT10 is def the spotlight of the show:fing02:

I would like to turn this into the largest national gathering of legendary ram srt10's in the nation:fing02::fing02:

And as far as I am concerned they will allways have the spotlight:trink26:

but too, I want to broaden it out jsut a bit, not much mind you, jsut a bit, each year to the other brands, bring in a few new folk, to sorta give the soup some flavor:bad:

Even tho other brands sometimes dont want to admit it, the Ram SRT10 with only 8-9000 produced , it is something very special, the people owning them is what got me here, and that will never be forgotten, they will allways come an be number 1 with me, and you can take that one to the bank buddy:fing02:
