TWO inthe works ideas!!!!

Hello everyone. While I am very new to this site and to the Wicked Stangs family, I am not new to organizing rides, events, parties, and running things. I have two projects in the pipeline that I will need help with.
The first is a Charity Ride, and show. I know I know there are many of those that happen, but this one is a good one. My friends from the San Diego Chargers and I have been working an angle to raise money for kids who need a little extra help, and money. Like all kids most are into sports and cars. Now we have decided to combine the two. My friends play pro football, and I am a car nut. It only seemed natural to combine the two. A few of the guys are bringing their customized rides out, we will try to work in a burnout competition, and a car show for the kids to see the cars, listen to the motors, and maybe throw a football around with a pro athlete. I am looking to get a team together to help me get this moving along while I have connections they dont have the time to organize but their presence is worth so much to these kids. I need some guys to help me, organize, make some calls, put out emails, post bulletins, make flyers, and promote. I also would love some feedback and ideas. The best way to get a job done is with team work my friends agree with me on and off the field that is a good motto. So message me lets get together and give something to these kids.


That was long this is much shorter but still nice. A FORD VS CHEVY SHOOTOUT!!!!!! A small entrance fee to run, set up time brackets, run heads up, talley the wins and the Logo with the most wins takes home bragging rights. Now the good thing and the catch for the community is, that the entrance fee goes into a large pot. I have a counterpart/nemesis who is a die hard Chevy fan who is helping me out. The winner of the shootout Ford cars or Chevy cars will take the pot, and give it to the pre determined charity of their choice. This will give us backing from Charity organizations, and give us a foot to negotiate with the proper people to get a race going. My friend will get the bowtie girls LOL to vote on a charity and I will try to do the same from the Ford guys. The charity we come up with I will get in contact with and discuss this with them, to help promote the event. I will need a team for this as well. Plus here is your chance to invite that clown in the Z28 Camaro that has been pissin you off to a heads up race for a good cause and to finally end the debate on who is faster.
Well guys that is it from me. I hope I get a couple responses and some helpers with these events. ANY ideas and help is greatly appreciated.
if there is a Charity close to your heart let me know we can add it to the charity list along with a reason why it should be represented and and we can vote on it. Thanks for reading this novel guys. Take care.

I think both are great ideas, Dennis, and best of luck to you. I wish I was closer geographically, but maybe I can get some folks out here in Misery moving on a charity event. I have already started work on our second annual poker run to benefit Children's Hospital in St. Louis. We are trying to incorporate muscle cars into the mix this year, as last year was all bikes.

Bikes And Cars

Hey Jim, thanks and yeah man nothing goes hand in hand like muscle cars bikes, and poker. That is just as American as it gets. LOL. Good luck with it and if you need anything let me know! I would be glad to help with whatever. Yea the distance sucks, but you can get a lot done with the internet now, and you have my number if you need anything out there!..

can use all the help I can get

I have been emailing people with different foundations, and have been trying to get some vendors up and running for the first event. I have also talked with my Fox News resource Mr. Keys about gettin some publicity and doin a quick interview on the news about it, the shoot out for charity. I feel that with it promoting charity, and legal racing then the press and city will eat it up!!!!!! He felt the same way and is running the idea right now
B.j if you wanna help me can you get me a list of all the local San Diego Charity organizations, and some of the big National Ones. The way I see it is if we get a 10 buck entry fee for non racers and like 30 bones to race your ride, and we get even just a hundred people then we can have a few G's to throw at a a charity. Plus get a little more needed attention on legal racing and getting a good track.

So yeah if you can google that and get me a list that would be great brother. Ohh yeah and those black outs are yours. You can swing by the work and grab them if you want today or tomorrow I have them with me.
If anyone else wants to help or has any ideas or charities let me know. thanks guys

not competing

I am not competing with them, I am having my contacts at the Chargers work with them. It will be a Saturday so they wont have any worries, and make sure it is an off weekend that they arent running race legal, so people dont feel like they just ran and dont want to come out. Plus with the Charities pushing in our corner, and celebrity profile they wont say anything.

No no type at all. Just a good hard working charity foundation. So it doesnt matter if it is cancer or children or what ever as long as they are reputable and work hard.

I will dig through them and check it out. the first event is a pre-set charity and is a co-run event. It is really the second one the shootout that we can get a group idea about. Thanks for the list man. How is that car lookin now BJ.

No worries

Hey guys no worries. Like I said before, I have been looking for a crew like this since I left Texas years ago. If you guys need anything and I have it or can get it then I will get it for you. Plus on the Charity side, I love to give back and help out however I can. My friends all use their Star status as football players but I figure I can capatalize on that as well and do what I like to do, CARS!!!! I have a couple of bands that will perform for free when we get the Shootout set up. Well if you guys need anything you all have my number call me. If you wanna help or have information or ideas about the events then definately call me, we can get together over lunch or dinner, or in Jims case over the phone. Sorry bud wish you were a bit closer HA HA.
Thanks again guys.

one thing i think we should do is some kind of award for the shootout winners. make people want to come. maybe talk to companies about donating stuff for the event. like they did for the BBCIII cruise raffle.

That is a good idea. I was calling around already, good we are on the same page!!! Yeah I have been looking into these crystal trophies, they are inexpensive, sand etched and we can put whatever we want on them. LOGO, Name, date anything, but if you know anyone then email me a link or something.
