I like the title, "display your car....free"

We all display our cars when we drive to the shops or go out somewhere... this probably needed more incentive to make people want to take their cars.

What kind of incentive did you have in mind??

Initially there was a big cash prize on offer but people didnt want to pay the entry fee cause they thought it was too expensive so then we made it free of charge but still kept a prize which is the helicopter flight along with lunch both days...??? But now your saying you need more incentive...

Cant win...

a helicopter ride is fine, but the way you have mentioned it (basically one winner out of a possible 50 or so entrants) doesn't sound too appealing, not to mention that allot of people would rather not go in a helicopter for various reasons.

If the odds are very much against winning a cash prize then people won't bother going to an event just to sit there all day and not get any recognition.

The only way it would work is to get associated directly with a few of the car clubs and see if they can combine one of their events into your event.

Think about it objectively, if you had no interest in aviation or model vehicles, would you go there to display your car and hang around all day somewhere that doesn't interest you?

Ask a few of the tuning companies they can have a stand their to promote their company ect....

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
