Message I'll never do another one. According to my friend who took first place that night with his RX7, it's all who you know!!!!
I took friday off to prep my Z and drove my Z down there early that evening to get a good place in line ( if you don't you'll get a crappy spot, you need to jockey for a good location ) Then my wife drove my work truck down later that night with all my props.
I had a cool light display with a actual stop light. You do have to disconnect your battery, but I rigged a battery charger "out of sight with long hidden cables to run my laptop, stereo, auto light effects, ect.
It was definatley an experience! LOL!!!! I only won a 2nd place trophie and 100 bucks for lighting display, even tho I had more traffic and spectators than most cars around me.
You have to be pretty "RICED OUT" to get recognition, or make the right connection with the "IN"peeps to get anywhere with this group! And like Seedy said you have to pay for electricity. Get the cheapest deal they have and then just bring a heavyduty outlet bar. They really don't know how much you use, at least they didn't at this one cuz it was subcontracted out to a local company.
Hope this helps ya Sean! I like the less riced out shows where you are judged on your Z and not the fad or politics!!
