Author Topic: GBS show N shine idea for Aug 29th (Read 3338 times)

RacingMom3553 · « **on:** August 15, 2008, 09:28:32 AM »

I have approached the Colonial Hotel and the Beer Store about the possibility of holding a show N shine of race vehicles in one of their lots on Friday Aug 29th in the 6pm to 8pm(approx) time frame as a way to showcase what we are about at GBS. This is the Friday of the labour day weekend. I chose these locations due to their location at the main intersection of 21 and 81.

They are going to check with management and get back to me. The manager I spoke to at the Beer Store seemed to think the idea wouldn't be a problem.

If either of these locations were possible... who might be interested in bringing karts, 440s, JLMs and mini trucks to show and promote the track?

I would like to think we could get 15-20 vehicles out representing all the divisions.

No the 440 isn't race ready Jesse but it is display ready. I still need some tires before I can race it. But it does look fast sitting still LOL!!!!

As for the Show N Shine we probably could park the haulers down at the Grand Bend medical center and then walk back up to the colonial. I will confirm if that is ok. Oh and if there are any 4cyl that could attend I am not sure how I would get Braden's car there because my parents are going away that weekend.

If I can find someone to drag our car down there our 4 cyl car can be there, we're going to be racing at Delaware, but i'll try to find someone to drag it down to the show.

I got the ok to park the haulers down at the Grand Bend Medical Center located beside the Shoppers Drugmart. We can unload at the Colonial and then park the haulers down at the medical center.

Awesome news. Event location, a little promo, and places to park the rigs. Now all we need are the teams to show up with their sprint karts, JLMs, mini trucks, 440's, 4 cyls, and TQs.(don't think I missed anything) ...lol
