Skymeet West will not be happening- this year.
We tried making the event large scale with sponsers, a track, prizes etc etc. That ended up costing us $4500 when everyone bailed.
This year I changed it to a $30 admission fee while still maintaining sponsers and prizes and trophies, a dyno, a BBQ and still people complained.
I then toned it down as much as I possibly could do a $5 BBQ and for everyone to show up and meet, and no one wanted that either.
This event has been met with no much negativity and ignorance is it not worth putting on. All I ever wanted from the start was a venue for all Skyline and import cars to meet and shoot the **** over a BBQ. As friends. Unfortunately it was has become clear that is not possible with this crowd. It is truly disappointing as I really felt this event had a ton of potential.
