There is approx. 6 weeks left. I hope that there will be more PT'ers supporting this. I have read that Cruising the Falls Rally has thrown in the towel, I hope that more PT Enthusiasts will help support this event

Thank you, Crystal, for the kind words of support for the Mid West USA Regional.
It is the intent of our club to offer a quality event, and to put the fun back in. Many events seem to reach a point where they seem to lose interest for their registrants and vendors, let alone the public. Examples would be: basically nothing to do once you arrive, rarely any cruising, not being organized, dull games or activities, boring prizes, the same old vendor selection...and dwindling at that, higher registration fees, higher motel fees, higher vendor fees, you get the idea.
A cruiser spends their good money in going to an event, and they should feel they have enjoyed themselves.
In order to have a quality event, one needs to offer something for all in attendance, and not just during the event hours. One also needs to provide the most enjoyment for their registrants they can offer.
Our event staff consists of 28 members directly involved, and other members doing behind the scene work in supportive roles. An event is much more than just having a mouthpiece promote it.
Our club's goal concerning our event is simple. We want to offer our registrants and public the very best event we can, with enough activities for all ages, places to go and things to see, community involvement, new items from vendors, organization, and a car club atmosphere that many only remember.
In short, we want our guests to enjoy themselves, be completely worn out when the event closes, and can't wait until next year to come again.
Thanks, again, Crystal for the kind words and your cruiser spirit. With people like you out there, we can have the best event ever.
The rest of y'all out there..... get off the porch and come down to the real double six for some fun.

Old cruisers never die, they just go down a different highway.

It's a real shame when we hear that events stop running but you have to remember that most clubs last 3 to 5 years. Its the same with events.....The time it takes to put these events together is unbelievable and it almost becomes a job.
In Colorado, we are very lucky to have a group of people willing to each put out some time to help plan the event and get everything in place. I hope that this is the same with Dave and the Midwest Regionals and with "the surfer kid" (Big Kahuna) in St Louis. Without this group effort, putting on the event becomes too much for the one person or small group. If you are reading this and live in the local area where these events take place, get involved to help. If lots of people each give a little time, all works out great.
Cruise The Rockies was formed just because we love to cruise in the mountains. We find a area that we think others would love to cruise in and invite everyone to join us. If 5 show up or if 100 show up, thats fine because its something that WE want to do anyway ....its just that we would love to share our mountains with others. As far as our support group in Colorado goes, we will plan a event in a area that we want to visit and put it together so that we can have fun. If we can't enjoy it, its not worth the effort. One thing to remember, its the people that make the event and its the cruiser that got us together.
I know there is this thing about the biggest, the best, the longest running etc with the events, and thats aways a blast to tease each other, but if you "kids" out there want to see the events continue, just give some time to help. The group putting it on would love a little help. I just wished I had the time to go to each of the events that are out ther, but I'm just like everyone else... a little short on time and money.
For everyone out there that puts on a event....be it a car show or a cruising event, I commend you. Big Kahuna, I have heard great things from Fire & Ice about this years event and how everyone was so friendly at the event..... Thats the way we want everyone to feel at our event. Dave........I know that you will make sure that people will enjoy your event and there will not be a dull moment....... and for all that want to see the events to continue, GET INVOLVED..... For now, all I can say is....
I HAVE A NEED TO CRUISE

Thanks SmittysPT, That was very well put, I have also been "eyeballing" the RedRiver Run, and as you said, time & money. I try to support two Rally's a year & I guess I am partial to the Midwest Regional Rally because that was the first PT Cruiser Rally I went to in Sept. 2004 & I had just bought my DCS#3. I talked my husband into going to Winfield,Ks, he thought I was nuts & still does! Oh well. I remember when I got the rally & they were doing the tailgate display I thought this is insane! Now I love decorating for it! I have met great people & have learned alot about a car other than just putting gas in & getting the oil changed every 3000 miles. (in fact when I got home from work , there was a package for my PT) I am a member of the Heartland Cruisers & in the two years ,I have seena alot of people come & go, but there is still a core 6 of us hanging. Due to me being in the medical field I have to work every other weekend, but I do thouroghly enjoy my job & the postion I have working with the community with my co-workers. I do have a ways to to retire unless I win the lottery & welp...today is Wed. & once again I didn't play. I am off this weekend too bad the Redriver Run wasn't this weekend, I think I would have just got in my Cruzer & Cruised that way! Keep on Cruzin' !!!!

It is good to see this thread happening and I hope members and guests take the time to read and digest what is being said. I think we all take for granted all the dedication and hard work put in by many people at these events and cruises.
Putting any event or cruise together takes somebody, and more often than not, the efforts of LOTS of somebodies to ensure the plan comes together. From personal experience I know this involves investing tons of time, major physical effort, emotional ups and downs, and last but not least MONEY!!! That being said, when you can just show up and have an absolutely terrific time, we need to recognize that those "somebodies" have been hard at work for many, many months to ensure that good time for all of us.
Old School is right - we have come to expect all the "bells and whistles" when we spend vacation time and hard earned dollars to attend events. Even so,
it has always bothered me when I hear people grouse about this or that during or after an event. And some times, the people complaining are those that never lift a finger to help. That is just plain wrong. Those of us attending are just as responsible for making any event a success. It's all about attitude - and we are living in times where folks seem to have this sense of expectation and entitlement without making much of an effort themself. I guess we reap what we sow! Every cruise Jer and I have put on, we do a self-critique afterward and ask our attendees for their thoughts as well. Almost anything can be improved in some way or another - but that being said, if we aren't willing to lend a hand to help make the event happen or gjve polite, concrete suggestions for improvements, we have no right to complain.
We all support and attend whatever events/cruises we are able - local and otherwise. I realize gas has gone through the roof everywhere - but it has been through the roof in California for about 3 years. So yes, we have to pick and choose a bit more to fit the budget. But the PT community at large is so much fun - I think it is worth it to pinch pennies and try to make as many events as we can. And there are events and cruises happening all over the place to choose from. But it is especially important that we support our local happenings. We probably take those events more for granted because they are so close by. And Smitty is right as well - Jer and I have always considered "twos a cruise" - we always say the more the merrier, but we ain't staying home even if we are few in number!!! Who wants to miss a good time???!!!
For Jerry and I, this has become way, way more than about the car itself. We love both our PTs, but, that being said, what has become more important than any material object are the friendships we have made through the last five+ years. The good times we have enjoyed all over the country when we have been able to get out of CA for an event, and the people waiting there for us - that has made for some memorable experiences we consider priceless.
Anything that has gone on for five years plus - it just isn't possible to maintain that level of excitement we all enjoyed at the beginning when the cars and fun times were all so new. But if the people we have been privileged to meet are what truly matters, then their efforts on our behalf should be important enough that we support and/or attend whatever events we can.

Boy, you guys said it right....and after all, a good percentage of us are just wanting something new, much like it was 6 years ago when all this PT life came about.
I'm like the Cruzberg's....I cruise when I can and I usually try to combine it with family and friends. That's the main reason I go to CA every year, it just fits. I do a big event, I have family to stay with the rest of the time, and I get to enjoy my old stomping grounds. 
I make that trip fit in, and then the others fit in around that trip.
I realllly wish I could do to the Midwest event, I think everyone's heard me complain cuz I can't make it this year.....but if the event goes well and it happens next September, I'm there. If it's the only one I make, so be it. I've already got plans with a whole group of people to meet there. They've all heard me talk about Tulsa and the surrounding area, I hope that will happen so I could share my hometown with them....and you guys! Most of my family has yet to experience so many PT's in one spot.
So IMHO, as long as we've got committed people that want to continue the friendship of PT Cruisin', I can see this thing lasting a while. Sometimes there are bumps in the carpet, (people that make things tuffer than needed) but you walk over them and go on to the people that just want to have a good time.
I know my PT has come along and saved my life...so to speak. If I ever get some time over a margarita, I'll explain that statement!!.....

.....and speaking of next year. There will be chamber of commerce leaders from three cities attending our event, unbeknownst to each other at this time, each wanting to learn first hand what the event encompasses and what their city can offer us.
We also have six major vendors, who need a breath of "fresh air" within an event, who are awaiting our location decision.
By relocating and revamping this Mid West event, we purposely planned to create the atmosphere of PT events from years ago...when things were new and fun. As an example, have you attended a PT event that had a county fair, complete with rides, within "rock chunking" distance?
As Jack mentioned, it doesn't matter how many cars show up...for we plan to have a great time offering the fun and fellowship of an old school car club event.
Our club is hosting this event because we want to share with others. Yep, it takes a lot of effort....but the smiles, good memories, and friendships are worth it all. It's not just about the car.... it's the cruisers.

If anyone takes this as a Flame.. You took it wrong.. It’s just a look at another side of the story.
I attend car shows all over the US... Mainly the South ..But I do venture out.. I have a 1969 SS Chevelle that I show besides our 2 PT Cruisers. I reckon I have been to every kind of show you can imagine from the Little Church to World of Wheels and everything in between.
Observations.
..You CAN NOT HAVE A CAR SHOW IF NO CARS SHOW UP.....I.e.. Car show attendee does not owe the promoter a favor. It’s a favor to the Promoter that the Car owner shows up.
... The Promoter that takes the car owners for granted soon has NO SHOW or a very small one with new comers only
..The Promoter OWES the Car Owner an Honest Show. Fair Judges that knows cars. Civic Groups that judge cars pick their favorite no matter what it is. This is not saying they are dishonest. Just saying that they are not good judges. Most car owner judged shows are won by the car clubs with the Biggest Car Clubs in attendance. Plus it’s a lazy/free way for the promoter..If the registration cut off is stated for a certain time then STOP TAKING CARS after that time. This is NOT FAIR to the people that came before the time. If those people had all showed up late the Promoter would NOT have a Show.
.The Promoter owes the attendee a nice place to show his/her vehicle. Clean/safe and as comfortable as it can be made.
..Promoter needs a Cheerful staff that can handle GRUMPY car show attendees its just a fact.
..Promoter needs to be organized with BACK UP PLANS for bad weather etc
.Promoter needs to explain in all it's promotions all activities that will be available and have the means to provide these activities. Restrooms need to readily available, A Variety of Food needs to be available OR PLAINLY STATED what will be available so attendee’s can make arrangements for themselves BEFORE getting there.
A promoter OWES the Car Show attendee the chance to be able Know in advance what Kind of awards will be presented. What for.. Class.. What Classes.. Top 10 ...to Top Whatever. This Needs Stating in all promotions.
Promoter needs to start and end Shows at stated times
If your show is not as successful as you thought it should be .Don‘t take it personal UNLESS you personally acted like a Jerk. You have to look and listen and decide if you want to continue doing car shows. It may have been location or many things listed above. You learn and adapt or you fail
Lots More.. But it’s all related..
If a Promoter (this is one person/club or group of people) cant do these things THEN DONT HAVE A SHOW or EXPECT COMPLAINTS..You will deserve them and will have earned them. Again You didn’t do anyone a Favor that attended the Show.. Yes you may have done a Charity or your Car Club a favor BUT remember they are not complaining the Car Show attendee is complaining.. YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE ...YOU NEEDED TO HAVE YOUR SHOW.
If you think your doing the attendee a Favor by having a Show.. Your just doomed to Fail
The Groups do need to be applauded/commended for their hardwork and effort for the $$$ raised for the event Charity ..But this is a separate issue
The Attendee Owes the Promoter (If they follow above) to know what is expected when he/she arrives at the show. IE: If you read an honest promotion then don’t go to the Show telling them How they should do it or how you would do it. You should have made the decision on what you read and If you didn’t like it or think it would NOT be fun.. Then DONT GO.. If the Flyer says participate judging and you don’t like that DONT GO. If you don’t Like Civic Group judging and they told you up front that’s what is was going to be and you don’t like that DONT GO.
If you think you’re suppose to win ..THEN DONT GO
If you go to shows that are judged and awards are to be presented and YOU HONESTLY DONT CARE IF YOU WIN ..Go and have a great time (it’s the best way) BUT DONT EXPECT everyone else to feel that way. They don’t and that’s not wrong either. Some Folks like to win an award for their accomplishments... Again that’s not wrong
If you’re going to be Mad because you didn’t win at a HONEST SHOW..Don't Go. Trust me just because you have won before and you think your car is the best It can still lose at a HONEST SHOW. Only so many Great cars can win. Most shows have LOTS of GREAT CARS.
There are plenty of shows that are just Meet and Greets. No Show/NO Awards..Just get together for a good time
These. The Host does need some leeway.. They usually do a lot of work with no expectations of reward to any charity or club. They just do it to have a good time. They do the best they can and sometimes these do not run as smooth as can be expected..
Again..If you come to these. Please don’t complain about how and where it was done. You knew where it was when you came.If you don’t like it, don’t come back. If the person putting it on asks your opinion. Give it ...in a HONEST and NICE way. But still thank them for putting it on ..They tried and did not intend to put together a bad meet and greet.. They didn’t ask for your money to come. They just invited you to come and you accepted.
Ok ..I am through. .

Next year.....YaHoo!!! Sounds great and I'll make my plans to be there.
 ...
The CA group joining me will be glad to hear this, they will be coming actually from back East after a cross country trek.....boy, I wish I could THAT!
Well said about the "numbers" thing.....there's a Deep Southwest promoter that is obsessed with the "numbers" that come to their events.
Quite honestly, if they were the only events available, I'd be driving a new Mustang.
At my event in October, it won't matter if there's 15 cars or 100 either OldSchool. That's the attitude to have, if the event is for the people.
And AUCRZR.....all good points buddy, and IMHO there's nothing bad about letting your opinions fly. That's what's great about living in America. I find your statements honest and helpful.
Someone needs to remind the Press Corp about that, and to leave ol' Mel Gibson alone. Free Speech. It's not always good, but it is what it is!

This would never be taken as a flame. Thanks for your input. The thing that is really different about the Colorado event is that its based on Cruising, not showing the car. Sure, we get together, clean them up and oooo and ahhh about the great rides, but the main event in Colorado is what God gave us....... the mountains. That's why I said we would do it with 5 or 50 cars..... but I do understand what you are saying about shows and thats very true. My ride is not show quality and I drive it everywhere so I really don't enter car shows unless I'm supporting the club for a good cause and I don't get into sitting in parking lots..... I HAVE A NEED TO CRUISE. I guess what I should have also said in my first post is that if you have never put on a event, try it just once to see whats involved and then remember that when you go to another event and not all things go as planned.......Pease and Love to all and please don't blast anyone for their comments on this post. Remember, none of are as smart as all of us......

Well said Doug, but please remember the MWUSAR is not necessarily being promoted as a car show. We are planning an event which encompasses the cruiser spirit.
In a nutshell, we offer a fun cruising town for day and night, multiple cruises for smaller groups of cruisers so that they can actually see and do something as small groups, many places in and around town that will offer something for everyone, games and activities available throughout the event for all ages, prizes (from both public donations and our club) to show our appreciation, plenty of vendors with refreshing merchandise, a comfortable outdoor setting, indoor restrooms and air conditioned retreats, on site concessions provided by others, etceteras.
We will also offer a car show for anyone that wishes to show. It will be a judged point show without the good old boy system in place. To make it consistent and fair for all showing, our club has a classification system I created strictly for PT's and part of our staff will classify all vehicles accordingly (eliminates class jumping that both of us have seen). The judges are very PT knowledgable.
We will have the token city official type judging for best tailgate display, and participant and public judging for the people's choice award...henceforth the name.
Our light judging will be professionally judged as a static show, and then we will offer the light cruise after all judging is completed.
Our host club cars will not be involved in any portion of the show.
The main purpose of the MWUSAR is to put some fun back into an event for the cruisers attending. The event is not any one highlight, but simply an event for cruisers by cruisers.
I have been to events in several states, and have seen firsthand what works and what doesn't. I've even seen a Jawga vehicle at some of them.
Thanks for the comments Doug, and I wish you could come on out because I haven't seen you in purteneer a year now. We may not have any surf around or flowered shirts like some folks, but we still aim to have some fun on the real six-six.

Well said about the "numbers" thing.....there's a Deep Southwest promoter that is obsessed with the "numbers" that come to their events.
If it's who i think it is, they are more concerned with putting on a quality show. The numbers are mearly statistical figures which are used to introduce prospective vendors and sponsors to the depth and size of the show. It's called marketing strategy. The numbers are never fudged and all info is public.
