Castrol Xtreme Auto Show 2008

Toby · Post by **Toby** » Wed May 02, 2007 7:39 am

While we were at the Castrol Xtreme show 2007, we spoke to the event organiser about the possibility of having our club at the next show. The feedback was quite positive. The gist of it is:

- Clubs are welcome to host a stand at the show
- We don't need to pay for floor space since we are not displaying for profit
- We can have a car or two on display, suitably bling'd up

I have the contact details of the organiser so we can keep in touch with them. I have a few suggestions:

- Whoever is interested and has the means, should try and build a car for the show. If we can get the car featured in a mag (like SnS or Max Power, that should give us a good indication that it's ready for the show).
- We might then be able to get sponsorship, but that's unknown at this stage.
- We could record some of our drifting action and make a video to display at the stand
- Perhaps talk to the organiser about doing an actual drift show at the event.

Post your thoughts and ideas!

It's good news, very good news! So to those building up cars this should be a benchmark to reach!

At the end we are going to have to have a 200sx shootout to determine whose cars get to be on display.

Are any of us building bling bling? Maybe our stand is going to be more about performance/drifting/drag rather than style/big mags.

Maybe we can have 1 bling-bling sx and one stripped out roll-caged performance monster.

Big question is will we have T-shirts by then or will Toby and whoever has tshirts have to sit there for 3 days non-stop

i also went to the einbach stand and they very interested in the drifting club opposite lock. they want to use us to promote drifting and maybe sponsor us. and they also mensioned us possibly doing a drift special at the next extreme auto show.

We waited for you until about 10:00 to drive with us to the dome. What happened?

i guess I gotta do what I wanted with my SX sooner, rather then later. But I had subtle stuff in mind.
I still think as many SX's should be on the floor, just to show variety. Fark it, we should use the whole dome if we can.

How about we bling up my sx for the event

, I'll be willing to be there the whole weekend if you all chuck some cash at my ride, hehehe, wishfull thinking seeing as you all have SX's already requiring all your cash.

Seems good though that you guys are doing your part for the club!!!!!!
