    LOL- nice recap.

    My husband swears he didn't "pout" :popcorn:
    He wasn't expecting to win anything, but he's always up for showing off his car.

    It was a nice show and I wish more had come out. I also met a few MAers there that I may not have met otherwise.

    Maybe if it's advertised what a big prize could be, OR do a 50/50 to the winner? I think we could all spare a few dollars (like maybe $5?) to enter. Just some ideas to drum up participation.

    But all-in-all, great time :Thumbsup:

    I had a great time too, thanks for all the hard work! Since Smurfette won (a couple of times!), I doubt I will enter her again. I promised Tom we would get to do something different next year ;) I will say, for me, the prize was the trophy so different or bigger prizes wouldnt have mattered.

    Thanks to the list you have posted I was able to go through my pictures. I have one shot of every winner. I will post them on MA and NAM when I get a chance. I am hoping that will be tomorrow.

    Thanks again everyone!

    I like the Friday afternoon time frame because it lets you have time for a fun run in the morning, then head back in time for the show.

    one thing I found was people didn't all get the special categories, so it would help to put the descriptions on the ballots.

    I'm not sure how to get more entrants, there were a ton of cool MINIs there that were not in the show. I entered for fun with no idea of what the prizes were, I just wanted to show off my Tigger. It was fun because I got to meet so many nice people during the show. It would be great to hear from some of the people that didn't enter and find out why.

    I will second Tigger's suggestion that the categories be defined on the ballot. I had read all the entry online info before going and I couldnt remember what the heck Fine China was. Granted, I was a little focused on Bling but still...

    Yeah, I had posted all the info here & elsewhere, but it just wouldn't fit neatly on the ballots. Already planning to print the ballots double sided next year, with instructions/descriptions on the back. (Unless I manage to format the front so that it will all fit without making it so small you need a magnifying glass to read it.)

    I'm also going to change the Limited class ballot slots from looking like:

    1 ____

    to something more like:

    1 __ __

    to emphasize that you are filling in the last 2 numbers.

    There were a number of ballots where people wrote in all 3 digits, and often in the wrong categories. I'd say I had 5-10 ballots where no votes counted in the Hardtop or Cabrio categories because folks didn't get that they were divided into 1st & 2nd Gen, so they ended up writing in 302 and 301, etc. My bad on that, I suppose.

    Maybe by the time I can afford to get back into a MINI, I'll get this sorted out so I can hand it off to someone else so I can enter the show. LOL

    Keep the comments & ideas coming!!! I welcome all of them so I can make the show more appealing & successful going forward.

    A lot of my friends came by and joked that they had voted for Tigger in every category, then they would say things like "That's a nice Clubbie you've got there." I'm pretty sure the goofs didn't actually do this. :lol:

    Thanks

    Sorry about that. On some of the categories it was a bit of an elimination game since I didnt have clear photos of all the cars with the numbers displayed.

    I believe I have the correct one now. If not, well, just post pictures of your car yourself ;)

    Thanks for the pics of this... been trying to take in as much Dragon stuff as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to make it down there sometime to see it all myself.
