The North Texas T-Buckets (NTTB) is in the preliminary planning stages of holding a mini-Nationals next April 8-9 in Shreveport Louisiana. We have partnered with the Red River Street Rod Association to hold a joint function. The Red River Street Rod Association is a very well structured and organized group that has held over 37 “reunion” events. They have already obtained a host hotel and corporate sponsors and printed flyers and registration forms. They are willing to modify the flyers to include our proposed mini-nats.
Before the NTTB commits too far into this joint venture, we would like to take a short survey as to the interest in attending such an event. Before we get to the survey, you have to be made aware that there is a $25 pre-registration fee or $30 registration the day of the event. Free event T-Shirts and lunch buffet tickets go to the first 100 pre-registrants and all proceeds are donated to charity*. There are cash awards to the top 5 pre & post 1949 vehicles, real ones or replicas. There is discount lodging available from the host hotel which also happens to be a casino. Currently, the host hotel is quoting $109 per night for a room, but we hope to get that rate lower by offering more attendance. There is ample parking for the car show as well as trailer parking for those who require it. We have the option of printing and selling T-Bucket mini-nats T-shirts that will go for about $10 each. Registration will start at 4:00 pm Friday, April 8 and the show will run on Saturday, April 9 from 10:00 am to around 2:00 pm with awards immediately after. There will be a pizza party Friday evening and a cruise afterwards. We are planning a another cruise Saturday after the awards.
*The Red River Street Rod Association will donate their portion of the proceeds to a charity of their choice and we will have the option of donating our portion of the proceeds to a charity of our choosing.
We are asking for your input to see if there is enough interest and if we need to go back to the hotel to negotiate more rooms at a more reduced rate, more buffet tickets, more give-aways from sponsors, etc.
Now, the survey:
1. Would you be inclined to attend a joint car show\reunion\mini-nats in Shreveport Louisiana next April 8-9, 2011 that requires a $25 pre-registration fee\$30 registration fee on day of event, with proceeds going to charity? … yes or no
2. Would you be staying overnight requiring a hotel room? … yes or no
3. Will you need trailer parking? … yes or no
4. Would you be interested in purchasing a mini-nats T-shirt for about $10 … yes or no
Please give this your consideration and respond back so that we can get the results of the survey back to the Red River Street Rod Association.
Should there be any questions, please advise.

... it IS quite an expense after all. Heck, you might even find yourself behind the wheel of some tetanus-trap called Kletus driving on the wrong side of the road with bugs in your teeth HAHA! I'm good with the peer pressure?
