Hello guys, My name is Thanh and would like to chime in just to clarify some concerns floating around.
Standard car roll in is Friday from 3-8pm. This is one of the larger budget shows in the circuit and the preperation and staging is very large. It is also indoors so lighting, electrical, music, pods, backdrops, stages etc etc... take a good amount of our productions time overnight and on to the next morning. This is the main reason why our shows are Friday roll in. Should Friday be absolutely impossible for you then we can set up an early saturday roll in that would include a $20 penalty fee, but because I want to make this happen for everyone including myself, I am willing to work out on the pricing for the car registration to ease any penalty fee's. Contact me at
tphan@visionevent.com for info.
Regarding security and safeguard of vehicles. Our show is indoors at the Charlotte Merchandise Mart. If you've ever been to the place you'd know its gonna be next to impossible for anyone to steal your vehicle. Security is posted for our staging equipment and the Convention centers' security is standard every night also. You keep your keys' once you are staged so NO we wont' be driving it around. In all honesty, we're going to be too busy anyways... besides.... there's plenty of pre-parties to have fun on friday w/ the models so you can guess where most of us will be!
In regards to wanting to show for our benefit, its one of those things that if you are a show guy then you'll like it. If you have no interest in showing then I am willing to tell you that maybe its not for you. Those that show and reap the benefits do it because of various reasons I dont' care to explain, so at the end of the day, if you feel this is definitely not something for you, then I do not want to waste your money and burden yourself. Many people also show solely to pick up sponsors, which IMO really isn't a good enough reason to do it. There's got to be a sense of pride and enjoyment from showing the hardwork and dedication you've put into the vehicle, everything else is just perks.
Its not for everyone but I do hope those that do come will enjoy themselves. At the end of the day we just want everyone to enjoy themselves and enjoy the show. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at
tphan@visionevent.com I would be more then happy to answer any questions.
PS Thank you SupraGreg for posting this thread, we are all looking for the same thing and I sincerely hope we can reach our goal.
