the first Nat meet we held was for one day in a field central to most. It was a basic show and tell with a hastily arranged competition. best dash, best boot, most ghetto, best overall, and most original idea. Prizes were donated by UK suppliers we got to come down.
This is kinda what I was thinking for a first meet as well. Just have to find judges, etc.
I was also thinking about seeing if someone would be willing to host a USACi single or double point event. USACi has car audio shows AND car shows...

Oh and barbecues as well for food.
Agreed, once we knew how many people, getting someone to cater shouldn't be hard...cater like BBQ or even have someone bring a grill and offer to cook.

1. try and make it as central as possible
That's why I was mentioning having maybe 3 meets, spread out over different months at different locations across the nation. Being that it's 3000 miles + just for us to go out to cali and back, I think that having a few different meets spread out would help get attendance up. And if you spread them out, you might have a few people who can make more than one show at a time.

3. Try to get suppliers involved, they can set up a little stall and maybe sell some products at a small discount (and of course no delivery charges
). They may want to supply prizes for comps like ours do.
I was thinking the same thing as well!

4. Have other things to do IE that kids will be able to do then people with kids will be able to bring their kids and be happy they won't be bored. (that again will allow more people to attend).
Will have to get some ideas on this one!
