And perhaps YOU have a bit of an announcement pertaining to the show, Mr. Morocco? Maybe something geared toward our younger enthusiasts...the future of our hobby?

after participating in last falls VF, i noticed something that i thought needed addressed. i had dominics dragster there on display. we had a ton of other kids that wanted to look at the car,ask if they could sit in it, ask to have pictures taken by it. the only problem that i saw was when "dad" wanted go the kids had to go too. it seemed to me that the kids(and the moms ) were being pulled behind dad looking at the stuff that he wanted to. i think that if i can get the kids more involved with the shows to make their own show experience enjoyable, that will in turn, 1) get more kids involved with the cars that "we" all love and 2) maybe bring more "moms" to the show as well. after all the more people thru the gate the better ! so i contacted Bob and told him my thoughts. what i want to do is to have about 10 or so jr dragsters there on display and as the kids come over to see the cars, they can see all the different types of cars from the beginner cars to the 17 year old 7.90/85 mph cars along with some really neat paint jobs and body wraps. they also can go on sort of a " scavenger hunt." they will be given a card with 10 or so things on them for them to find thru out the show. maybe one would be to find a 69 camaro with "Its Something Else" painted on it and have the owner sign their card. after they get all of them signed they can bring them back to the display and win a prize. maybe an event sticker or t-shirt or whatever. this way as they're being pulled along by dad, they are actually looking at the cars as well. i already have 5 cars confirmed and are extremely excited about it as well. im also trying to find a chassis shop that may donate a rolling chassis with the side cut out for the ease of a kid getting in for a photo op. i do have a few more ideas for the kids that i need to pass along to Bob, but i think this will be a very good thing for this show.
sorry for the long post and hope you all bring your kids to the show !!
