Glad to hear about the CBJ classes. That is something that needs to be 'kept up with'. As the sport grows in Arizona, you can never have too many CBJ's.

The NASCAR thing is a nationwide deal and is gonna be very huge in the future (I think anyway). This is NASCAR not PIR. I was there for my first NASCAR race ever in November. What an unbelievable exposure to the masses a contest would be there....unreal. The vending would be astronomical.
If this is a one time deal then not to worry. If it grows to an annual event then the Pulte event might want to consider moving it's date. This would be good for the competitors here also. Hopefully you have communications with Ron Cates in the future to keep track of the progression of the NASCAR event. I will also keep my eyes and ears open for info in the future. This might also get your foot in the door if it is a one time deal. They might like what they see the first time and bring a real KCBS event in there.

I think that the Nascar thing will be an anual event.I know it went over big last year at the tracks were it was held (at least from what I read)and that is why Nascar is expanding it this year.I think the racing and BBQ goes well together,just not at the same time as the Pulte event >:(

Mike,is it too late for Pulte to change their date this year ? I think it would be a bad thing to have 2 big events the same weekend even if one isn't sanctioned.I wonder how many teams Cates can get without being KCBS sanctioned and with another event the same weekend.I know some teams will go after the money,but just how many teams he can get is the question.

Well, I'll tell you, I would absolutely love to do the NASCAR contest. I would love for everyone in Arizona to be able to do it. You also get tickets for the race on Sunday from what I hear. If the dates were different of course I would do both and both could be KCBS sanctioned. If they are at the same time I will do Pulte.
I just don't want anyone to think that these guys are just shoving us around, cause I don't think that's the case at all. This is just so big nationally and they obviously can't change the date. It's gonna happen on that date whether we like it or not.

It is my opinion that vending will not be allowed at this event as Americrown holds contracts with NASCAR and/or PIR. Americrown invites nonprofit organizations in to staff their booths. Americrown supplies everything they need and the groups shares in the profits. I have been involve with several of these on the nonprofits group side and it is a quick way to earn some cash for your church or Charity group. 5,000 to 6,000 dollars in one weekend.

Mike this is why I asked you about the status of the club. I thought this might be an option for next years "Feed the Homeless" and "Adopt a Family" programs.

In talking with Pulte this week, they do not want to change the week they have held their contest on for the past 4 years.   

They put a lot of money into it and it is their single biggest sales day of the year.

They should have tried to do it for April either this year or next.  That event would have been easier to move.

Moving a NASCAR weekend?
Or I see going with the early season race date
This is going to happen more and more as the sport grows
Having a contest drop in the open week between my first two for 2010
has been a great deal of fun The same day protection KCBS provides to
Western Sates is great. In other areas they have doubled up contests and
really hurt established smaller money events
