<CORSA Chapters> Brief Survey

[tim mahler]

1)  Yes,  (and with the proposed scheduled, I could also enter the concours)
2)    The competitive events at the Banquet is OK. The Car Display awards 
handed out at the Car Display is great.  (btw, the rules states the car 
display awards, even if held the same day as Concours, be handed out at the 
CORSA annual mtg not the banquet)
3) I'll then be ready to head home.  OK with it.   Not much different then 
the local events having a banquet on Saturday night then having a Rally the 
next day, with awards after the Rally.  Besides, the rules state Car display 
awards are handed out a different day then the others any how
4) I will attend the Car display and get a jump start on the trip home when 
it is over. (won't stay friday)  reducing my Convention by a half day.

The PR from the Concours should see a lot more general public / may be even 
press,  come Friday , the car display.  If really successful (IF)  then 
trying a saturday Corvair show is the next logical choice.

I see it this way -- All the traditional Cole competitive events Concours, 
Rally, Econo-run, Autocross are done.  Awards presented, Cole Award 
presented, all the stress ful events are done.  Now it is time to have a 
good old fashion FUN car show. Everyone can participate <Concours guys 
already have they trophy so would be exempted from winning at the car 
display, much like today "dual show">  Everyone gets to see all the cars and 
FCs -- the judges, the concours workers, the vendors -- yep the vendors have 
a relaxed day too to come over to the show and relax vs selling.  The host 
chapter also has an easy day -- count some ballots,  put on some fun 
events -- fan belt toss, monza jr race,  whatever else they can dream up. 
Participants can sit aroung, look at cars, talk,  until noon or the end of 
the car display.  Trophies presented on the field,  top 3 in each class --  
21 trophies.   Those wanting to stay, may. those wanting to get a jump start 
home, may.  Live a day and half away ?  get the half day in on Friday.  half 
a day away, your home friday night.  -- if you leave at 3 pm,  you can get 
5-7 hours driving in before the end of the day.

Not a big shortening of the convention,  but a start.
those are some of the thoughts behind the idea.
