EVENT LOGISTICS WEBSITE AID
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 8:48 pm
I am a relative new participant in PHA events so I have had the same questions posed on the forum page before an event. Questions include where should I stay; where can I park the trailer; how are the pits organized; where is a parts store?
I know that there is a wealth of information that is both valuable and available from seasoned competitors. This information is often passed on by conversation. I was wondering if the association has ever attempted to organize this information as part of the website?
I see a lot of advantages including positive publicity for PHA events, exposure for local motels/restaurants and, possibly, discounts to participants/workers.
The format could be based on the following outline:
Event Location Details – Each will include Inspection link to map/driving instructions
- Location of pre-event Registration and Tech
- Location of starting line
- Location of pit area
- Course
- Recommended viewing areas and how to get to these areas
Accommodations
- Camping – (w/map/links (if required))
- Local Hotels – (w/links)
Event Logistics
- Trailer Parking/Storage
- Overnight
- Day of Event
- Pit Parking Restrictions
- Special Events
- Locally sponsored Saturday Night dinners
- Other
- Local Restaurants
- Photographers offering event coverage
- Local Auto Parts Sources
- Helpful tips
If there is interest I could develop ths proposal then ask the association for inputs. Since the post season punch list on the Bugeye looks small I could even take a stab at organizing the data so it could be formated for the website.
Any comments?
