Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to get everyone's input on this. An import auto show called Driven to Perform is going to be taking place in Calgary on May 28th.
I wanted to know if a group of people would want to Enter the show and have their cars on display for $50 per car or just view the show for $12 per person. I talked to one of the coordinators and it appears that they would prefer cars that were in excellent shape with nice big Rims and Tires. (That counts me out... ) Personally I would rather just check out the show since meeting their requirements might be difficult. I think Justin's car might meet those requirements but I still need everyone's input on this. Keep in mind that if we don't enter our cars this year, we can always do it next year or place them in another show. We would need to have at least 2 or 3 MX-3 to make this worth while.

What if we all kinda chipped in to have Justin's (Or anyone else's for that matter) car enter on behalf of MX-West?
I can't guarantee being there, but it would be nice to have some representation. Heck, it would probably be the only MX there.
Seems quite high to enter. It would definately be cool to have some reps though. Any one able to part with some rims for the show?

Well if we were to have only one car in the show to represent the club, then I think MX-West would be able to pay for it. Wouldn't be able to pay more than that though. But I think putting Justin's car in the show wouldn't be a bad idea. This being a one day event makes it a lot easier to organize with one car but I agree that the fee is pretty high. The most that I've usually seen is around $25-$35. Oh well. Maybe their cash prizes are bigger.
I would have loved to put my Red MX-3 in if It was still alive. Oh well... I think Justin's car would just need a little TLC around the edges and gettings some rubber on those 18" wheels before the show. That's all I can foresee.
Hey i am in stacy if you wanted to go in it with me i do not want to be the lone rep from the club and yes it is true i need to get dome minor things touched up from a brutal winter here in saskatoon and rubbe on the 18's is a must. i have the fiberglass ordered but i might redo the door panels comploetely so i will see what time frame i will be looking at once i have finished calsses.
Talk to you all later,
Justin

Well like I said before, Justin. If I'm not to busy when you move back here, I can most likely help you with the fiberglassing and any other things you need done. You should almost attempt finding a fabric match for your door panels instead. I think it would look cleaner than the fiberglass. If you do, make sure it's fairly stretchy.
I would love to enter...but the car would be naked with the 17's.....hint hint Late me know as i could be entering a golf tourney.

Well it looks like we'll just be viewing the show and not exibiting in it. There wouldn't be enough time to register anyways. I won't be able to make it to the show since I'll either be building on my house or swapping my engine that weekend. I'd recommend that a group of you pick a time and place to meet up at the show and check things out.
