David Hawkins Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 THIS IS THE NEW MODIFIED PLAN: I am in the beginning stages of organizing the VEGAS CHASE 2013. I have been wanting to put this no this for some time now. One of the reasons I havent was because I would have to FLY from Tallahassee to Las Vegas and Flying scares the bageebees out of me. I have the Plan worked out, now I have to start with the organizing of it. It will take place sometime in 2013 to give me time to get it all together. Here is the basics: I hope to find enough Sponsors to pony up most of the needed Money. I have scaled it back a little to help make it easier to find the needed Sponsors. Only 100 Vehicles will be allowed to Register. It will only cost $50.00 to Register a Vehicle (instead of $350). The Registration Package will consist of 2 Event Tee Shirts and Car Decals supplied by the Sponsors. The Winner will receive $10,000.00 in Cash. The VEGAS CHASE 2013 will start in Atlanta by the Airport and finish in Las Vegas. This is a TIMED EVENT but NOT for Speed but rather who can get there closest to a Time that I came up with using basic Math, One Clue will be given the Morning of the Event to help the Participants do the needed calculations, after all, they will have a long time to figure it out. I have found a portable Time Clock that runs on a rechargeable Battery that lasts 7 Days and it is in a Lockable Briefcase to use for this Event. After the last Vehicle departs, I hop a Plane to Vegas and wait for the Vehicles to arrive. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormracer Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I am in the beginning stages of organizing the “VEGAS CHASE 2013”. I have been wanting to put this no this for some time now. One of the reasons I haven’t was because I would have to FLY from Tallahassee to Las Vegas and Flying scares the bageebees out of me. I have the Plan worked out, now I have to start with the organizing of it. It will take place sometime in 2013 to give me time to get it all together. Here is the basics: <01> Limited to just 150 Vehicles. <02> Open to all Street Legal Vehicles. <03> Vehicles MUST be Driven. <04> Entry Fee is just $350.00 per Vehicle. <05> ALL Participants MUST be at least 18 Years of Age. <06> Winner could Win “UP TO” $30,000.00 Cash. <07> Cash Prize is $200.00 from each Entry. <08> Closest to the “Calculated Time” Wins. <09> You can find Sponsors to help with your Expenses. <10> Starts in Tallahassee, FL and Ends in Las Vegas, NV. <11> Destination is to be decided (I’m shooting for SAI.). Registered Entrants will receive 2 Tee Shirts and a Vehicle Decal, both are still being designed. $150.00 from each Entry Fee will be going towards the Cost of putting on this Event. I also hope to find some Sponsors. This is a “TIMED EVENT” but NOT for Speed but rather who can get there closest to a Time that I came up with using basic Math, One Clue will be given the Morning of the Event to help the Participants do the needed calculations, after all, they will have a long time to figure it out.

After the last Vehicle departs, I hop a Plane to Vegas and wait for the Vehicles to arrive. What do you think? Hmmm sounds interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I am coming up with a "Back Up" plan where I find Sponsors for the Vehicles, that way the Participants only have to worry about their personal expenses and not the $350.00 Registration fee.......BUT, they will have to put the Sponsor Decals on their Entered Vehicles. I haven't decided yet though, still working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hawkins Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 OK....If I go with my "BACK UP" Plan and find Sponsors for 100 Vehicles, meaning you will be able to Register for FREE and have a Chance to Win $20,000.00 BUT.............. Would you be willing to place 14"x 20" Sponsor Decals on your Doors and a Banner Decal on either your Windshield or Back Glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting in Tallahassee, they can jump on I-10 and boogie West for 90% of the Trip. I might consider Atlanta Georgia and let them find their own way there.............LOL. Hummmmmm.....that could work. It will cut about 3 Hours off my Flight Time....................... OK.....How does Atlanta Georgia sound to everyone?

David Hawkins Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Okay Bangor, Maine then! I have to start this close to Home for personal reasons. Atlanta is as far as I want to Drive away from Home. Moving the Starting Point West is Out and moving it North of Atlanta is out to. I have to be able to get to Vegas before all the Vehicles get there so I can set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I found a cool Time Clock. It is a Mobile Unit that has a Rechargable Battery that lasts 7 Hours and uses Credit Card Style Time Cards that you Swipe. It also plugs into a Cars Power Port. It's not cheap. but it's really COOL......... :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
