Spectator Code of Conduct

Many of you will be thrilled to learn that several shows have ordered our free "spectator code of conduct" cards to give to spectators at their shows. As a reminder, the cards simply say:

FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLES
PLEASE...


No pets, skateboards, bicycles
If you brought children, control them
Do not touch or climb on vehicles
No Littering Thank You

It's nice to know that some organizers are taking the care and protection of your investment seriously. These show organizers are to be praised for taking that extra step on behalf of all entrants.

FYI, the shows that will be using these cards (so far) are:

Maine Oxy (all three shows in New England)
Yankee Cruisers DURHAM show
Franklin County show in Farmington
Two Trails Cruisers show in Windham
Bangor Wheels on the Waterfront Car Show

As I see it, any show whose organizers are willing to take extra steps to protect our cars are shows that we should strongly support. Perhaps someday, handing out spectator cards at shows will be the norm, rather than the exception.

If you are a show organizer, or know someone who is, please pass it on that these cards are absolutely free. All you have to do is email your request, quantity desired (in multiples of 50), and the address where you want them sent, along with the date of your show. It's that easy. Pass it on - we will all benefit.

Again, HotKarz will provide these cards at no cost - we even pay the postage. So there is no reason why every show should not be using them.

If I live long enough, perhaps I will discover a way to have HotKarz.com earn a few bucks to help cover these costs. Again, the idea of t-shirts comes to mind. Of course, if you own a business that would benefit from reaching almost 1000 dedicated car folks on a regular basis, you might consider advertising here - it's a great audience :o)

For those of you going to Togus, we hope you have a great time. Wish we could be there, but family committments in Connecticut prevent that.

The following weekend, we'll be having a hoot of a time at the Moose Festival. This is a truly great time, especially on Friday evening (Colebrook NH) and Saturday (Canaan VT). The festivities cover 4 towns, including Pittsburg & Columbia NH. If you think you may want to know more, go to the NH Show page, and check out the listing - and click on the 2 page flier. Perhaps we'll see some of y'all up there in the hinterlands. It's a long trip (183 miles from Limington), but worth every mile and minute.

Later!
