So I just got back from putting on a 25,000+ person event this weekend, and it's gotten me thinking about the all-Slingshot rally I've been planning to do.

The complex where our shop is in is a terrific place. There are private roads, two hotels, our shop AND a Harley shop, plus a huge ice arena with exhibition halls and seminar rooms.
This could be the place for our forum exhibitors to showcase their new product, have a traveling exhibit, like classic Polaris vehicles in a museum display, evening concerts, and tons more!

Events management and Slingshot combine two of my favorite things, so I'd be really excited to do something like this. Now if I could only find a way to combine beer with this, I would probably never leave.

What do you guys think about Slingstock? Should I pull the trigger? Would you attend?


EDIT: Coming soon!

I think it's a great idea.....

Especially if all 15 SS owners show up.:hilarious:

 

[Kip]

LOL!

You know, I could book a conference room and we could have a forum meetup too. How cool would that be?!

 

[Turbosling]

WHAT DID I HEAR BEER!!!?

 

[Cstewart]

I think Austin, TX would be a great place. Not to far from the Hill Country and you could hold it in the fall when the weather is in the 70's

I think you're on to something Kip. That actually does sound like it would be fun.

 

[Ryder]

Why not, it sounds like fun.

So maybe I missed the post, and not trying to hijack........But did no one from the forum take delivery today??? I was thinking we'd see 10 or 15 "I got mine" posts..........I guess the 26th is tomorrow.......I shouldn't complain yet.:wtf:

I would Kip.

You are of course talking summer, right? Count me in.

I'll allow it.

Yes!

With my Comic Con behind me (and yes, we have 2015 dates already for that show), I'm looking forward to possibly contacting the hotels on site and doing some room blocks for Slingstock again.
I'm cautiously optimistic about moving ahead, so if I do... how is your July?

I'd still like to do some live bands and other acts, but I'm fearful of the attendance. There aren't a lot of SS owners just yet, so if you don't have yours, will you bring your other ride instead? Maybe your bike?
Do you need all the entertainment of some live acts, exhibitors, etc? Or should we just pitch a beer and food tent for one day, and have an early morning cruise out route on Sunday?

I think if I prepared a budget for 100 people, even if not everyone brings a Slingshot, or some come in pairs, this might be a good break-even point, just for the hell of throwing something fun!

I vote cstewart's avatar as best on forum!




Well, next to barons of course ; - *

If this happens, I'd like to see as many vendors there as possible...with product to sell. I went to a Victory Rally a few years back had lots of vendors but nothing there to buy. They had pictures and samples and that was it. I can do that from a catalog.

I'd be up for a road trip in July!!

I would do the beer tent and ride just to get something off the ground. You can gauge it from there.
