SILV06 - Show-and-Shine What's the Dealio?

[KeithH]

RSVPs for this year's Supras Invade Las Vegas event are rolling in. We are up to 140 total RSVPs. Only 5 of those are non-Supras and 7 of the remaining 135 are planning to fly in leaving 128 actual Supras RSVPd. We are well on our way to having more than 200 Supras in Las Vegas again this year.

Last year we had 64 MkIIIs at the Show-and-Shine - with still more left in the parking garage. That brings me to the point of this thread.

What is the dealio with the Show-and-Shine. Nearly 1/4 of the current MkIII RSVPs opt'd to NOT select that they were planning to participate in the Show-and-Shine (ten). What's up with that? Nine out of the ten say they will join us for the drive but three of them say they are ONLY coming out for the Scenic Drive!

To those 10, please note that this is not your typical concourse style Show-and-Shine. This activity is a Show of Force for the Supra community. Nowhere else on the planet will you find as many Supras gathered in a single place at the same time.

Sure, our Show-and-Shine attracts some of the hottest Show Quality Supras you will find anywhere on the planet but if we only catered to those cars we would have a very boring show. Our Show-and-Shine parks Show Supras alongside full blown race Supras, Daily Driver Supras, and Works in Progress Supras.

I hope you will reconsider your choice and join us at this year's Show-and-Shine (please note that we will not hold you to your RSVP. You are welcome to participate in activities that you did not select just like you are welcome to skip activities that you selected).

Come share the afternoon with us no matter what condition your Supra is in. Someone may get the next BIG idea from checking out your ride at the Show-and-Shine and you will be part of history in the making as we reach the next level of 200 Supras at the Show-and-Shine.

...i can get a MkI down there, but it's covered in surface rust and doesnt run...plus the engine bay smells like a mix of grease and cabbage :icon_conf

I'll let you guys in on a part of a secret. I am working on another project that will be using a lot of pictures of Supras. You increase your chances of getting into this project by showing up for the various activities like the Show-and-Shine at SILV06.

Well, I'm in that batch of people that opt'ed to be in the show n shine again just like last year. :icon_bigg Keith, do you guys need volunteers again to help w/ the parking or the other events?

 

[born2drv]

maybe they don't want to participate in the show and shine because their cars are cosmetically in poor condition?

 

[KeithH]

Sage1 - will def need help. Please email SILV06@supras.org and I'll get you on the list.

I was away from my computer for most of the weekend. I have now approved all pending RSVPs.

Please remember that this "show" is not your typical concourse type activity. We seen Supras of all conditions show up - even half painted ones. Don't worry about it. We welcome everyone.
