Hello all,
Most of you that I spoke to at the last run may remember that I was talking about a new job, which is why I bought the SVTF and was considering selling the SHO.
ANYWAYS,
before I send something out to other clubs, I figured I'd ask my closest car-chums and get a little feedback, hopefully.
I am the Catering Operations Director for a 200 acre entertainment ranch located just outside San Antonio called Rio Cibolo Ranch ( www.riociboloranch.com ).
It's a rather large ranch that does weddings, corporate parties, conventions, etc. Upon my first week it dawned on me that not only are the wide open spaces perfect for car shows, but the ranch is literaly across the highway from River City raceway.
I am considering putting together a car show/drag day/reception proposal that would include rental of the ranch grounds, either a full buffet banquet dinner or appetizers ( bar and drinks of course are also available. ) and possibly, if the track is willing, rental of the racetrack all included in one price.
In order to do it cheap enough, I'd need to involve a few other groups, as the head count would likely need to be in the 60-100 ppl range. This could include guests however, and not just cars. I'm thinking maybe getting the SHO clubs the SVT people and perhaps Mustang/Probe/other Ford groups together first, then again it could be domestic/import, or whatever, just a bunch of car nuts. There is a huge open pavilion where some cars could be parked as well, if need be.
I figure a cool event would be an initial gtg at the ranch followed by a short drive over to the track for drag racing or perhaps guest speaker ( in this case, maybe a SHO guru or something. )
After while, back at the ranch for an evening dinner and reception, maybe even an awards ceremony for the top car at the track or something.
The point is the ranch has so many features that almost anything is possible. If there are enough votes of confidence, I'll put together a more set-in-stone type of proposal and present it.
If anyone local wants to see the ranch to get an idea about what I am talking about, PM me or e mial me and I'll set something up.
Thanks for listening and I hope you all can provide a little feedback on wether this would all work or not.
