As most of you are aware, we are attending NOPI nationals this september. We have run into a few issues that need resolving.

First, we have purchased an advertising booth on site which consist of an enclosed 10'x10' area. We were originally going to have a small powdercoating setup there and do some small parts for the enthusiasts. however, in order for us to do that, we are required to have $5M insurance with both NOPI and the racetrack as insured on our policy. on top of that, electricity is an additional charge ranging from $1300-$2600 depending on the voltage and frequency. we cant justify spending that kind of loot if we wont be making anywhere close to that in return.

so that's the issue. what can we do at our advertising booth to attract attention and get our names out there? here are a few ideas that we have come up with. If you have a suggestion, please let it be known. if we use your suggestion, we will give you a voucher for $200 in powdercoating. and here's the kicker, we will issue voucher's for $20 just for making a submission (as long as its something reasonable).

1. give out/sell bottled water with out logo on them
2. sell universal equipment such as shift knobs and pedals in various colors
3. t-shirts

let's hear your idea's!!!!
