NekoCon 11: November 7-9 2008

Nekocon 11 is rolling around, and this time I'd like to plan some events ahead of time. I have a lot of responsibilities during the convention, so I can help plan but I may not be able to help run the track all weekend. Soundwave should be able to work the track though.

I want to run some qualifying heats for the newbies on Saturday and then have a main event on Sunday. If there's enough interest this year from the miniz community, I'd also like to run some races for the pros. I'm going to see about getting trophies and prizes for these events, too. Shouldn't be a problem.

What kind of race events would you guys like? Aside from the track we'll have our normal events, video game rooms, dances, dealer's room, cosplay, etc. Plus some new and exciting stuff in the works that I can't talk about

We should be in Hall B again, with approximately 60'x60' of the room for us (the dots on the floor plan are 30' apart).

Well, let's figure out what we want to do with the time and space. We won't have the money to do some of the things I wanted to do, but I'm still planning on getting trophies and some prizes. I want to have two events, one for the pros and one for the ams. I'd like to give an amateur an RTR. Don't know what kind of prize the pros would like, other than a trophy.

What kind of race do we want to run? Unfortunately, we can't turn the lights out in Hall B, so we can't run a night course.

I recently heard from a guy here in Virginia Beach who has a couple of Ls and is building a banked oval. Maybe some Nascar action? Byebye should like that.

I had an idea of asking some other clubs to start up a Mid-Atlantic Points Series, or club tour. Three to four events per year, each one hosted by a different club in the mid Atlantic area.

I think this would be a great way for people to meet each other, cross pollinate skills and ideas, and have a good time.

The DCGTG hosts several events already.
SCRC's event would be Nekocon. It's really the only time we have the facilities.
Would Charlottesville, Dorks on Wheels, Charm City, or Hotwheels Hobby be interested in participating?
