Awesome.. both Treo and Concepts on Wheels have a lot invested into these shows (Time, Thoughts, Money, etc) It has been a pleasure working with them this year on these shows. I hope to see a good turnout for the fourth and final show on September 9th.

As usual a kick *** show. More people should be going to these, every show there seems to be more and more to see and more givaways.

Good Job Chris, Mel, Brono, and everyone else for keeping the show running smooth and fun.

Last show was by far the best Concepts / Kankar show. My suggestions (and i hope they’re welcomed) would be to start making affiliations with car clubs and websites.

First approach the bigger car clubs, offer them and their teams a % off on items. In return get new advertising avenues through them. Have these clubs promote the events for you and even bring their clubs out… give trophy to the best represented club at an event!

I think what limits the show is the 'car show' factor is not there. Yes, it is primarily car audio event, but i would say many who think 'car audio event’ worry they don’t have enough to compete, meanwhile the shows are not even filling all the categories. So these people don’t even come out.

In the future, add a best of show, best of rims or... but always keep the focus car audio. If a guy shows up with 22's and air bags but has a small system, get him involved!

Anyways, there’s always more to it than just adding trophies and such. There’s always logistics, time & money that needs to be invested.

I look forward to the next event!

Feedback is welcome!!! Please post it here, PM me or e-mail me.

I only am responsible for the dbdrag portion of the show (in conjunction with Treo Canada of coarse)

But I will pass along any information to my contacts at concepts. So far anything I have meantioned they have put serious thought into and even improved on it.

I hope to see everyone at the final show on September 9!!

It was indeed a very nice show...

I don't think the promoters capitalized on the fact they had 2 extreme show cars there (X5 and fusion)...

The plugs on z103 reached a lot of people but maybe live on location would attract more listeners as most people forget the website really quickly...

Give the people an incentive to come... free stuff was nice...

I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the ads in PAS, as I've seen 90% of the people that came out knew each other from previous shows/industry...

Make it on a Sunday if possible... I know about the Saturday and the rain backup date, and how it's a gamble but I think quite a few people are not willing to miss work on Saturday to check out the show...

Please think of it as constructive criticism and not negative feedback...

just my $0.02
