If the VIP section is going to be up front again, it may help traffic flow to have signs and people direct the VIP parking to the far right lane and everyone else to the left. Then have the regular admission parking start further back and work forward to get more traffic off the street.
Have some sort of way to enforce VIP parking or an actual gate for VIP parking. I saw at least 4 people pull into the VIP section and they were told to turn around and go park int he general parking. Instead they parked in the VIP area, locked their cars and walked off. Why should they park in VIP for free? Make sure everyone knows there is no ATM on site and to bring cash if they want to purchase food and beverages and raffle tickets. Have some more entertainment. After walking through the VIP area, many people said there wasn't much to do if you didn't want to watch the cars going in and out of the event.

I think part of the reason there wasn't much to do was because everyone went straight for the VIP section and didn't look at much of the other cars. And since the VIP section wasn't huge, you could go through it in a few minutes. I doubt it is possible but improving the parking for the non-VIP section would make things much better. So many nice cars were hidden and missed since they were in this section. I feel like in past years you would have to walk around for 2+ hours to take everything in yet last year it was just natural to walk past the non-VIP cars which made everything go by much quicker. It felt more like a parking lot of a football game than one of a car meet. I know VIPs pay more and definitely deserve better but it would improve the meet as a whole if parking could be made better for everyone. That would probably be a tall order though.

I don't know if I missed it, but did you even say in the first post that it is/isn't being held at the park?

Also, parking made better how? You keep stressing about 'VIP' or 'nice' cars outside of the VIP section being missed. Should 'stock' cars go to the far end of the lot and modded ones up closer to the VIP / vendor area? How many would think that would be fair? Maybe an option for those bringing non-show cars to park at the back of the lot out of common courtesy would go over well. Personally, I think it'd be nice to have a parking lot that has lines on it, then be mandatory/highly suggest that everyone backs in their parking spot. Backing in will take longer for everyone to park. Having parking lines, people would be more willing to drive a little further to park faster. |

If people want to have the parking with the front of their cars pointed out, there are two ways to do it. Either park like they did last year then turn around after everyone else around you parks...
or park all the cars facing one way then start the next parking row with all the cars facing the same way. When several rows fill up, redirect a few cars at a time down to park and back in if they want or park facing in if they want. It will allow more cars to park with the front pointing out. I tried giving an example with the simple paint picture below. I heard some people complain about having to pull in and the backs of all the cars pointing out to the rows last year.

Just remember, you not everybody will be satisfied with whatever you decide for the event. Do what you think is best for the event in the end.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions so far, your all generating good ideas and discussion. I can cover some of the things mentioned above.
ENTRANCE TRAFFIC: The biggest issue here is that people dont pay attention to the signs directing traffic or they are so jazzed up that if verbally told it goes in one ear and directly out the other. Last year we had signs and were telling all VIP to stay in the Right Lane and Spectator to stay in the Left until after the VIP entrance. This should have worked well but obviously did not since near half the VIPs were over in the Left lane and had to cross traffic to get into their parking area. On top of that we had 2 lanes of in bound traffic or at least we tried to but numerous times it would turn into a single lane and bog flow down. If we are returning to Warminster Park this year I think a 3 lane strategy will solve this issues....2 Entering and 1 dedicated Exiting with a massive sign showing this at the fence entrance. PARKING: We park the cars in the fastest way possible, a double pull in rear bumper to front bumper. We did tell people who wanted to back in they were more then welcome to after their row was completed or at a time that would not cause a back up in traffic. Most people did not want to wait and just walked off after parking. Having to talk to half the drivers in entering vehicles about either of these issues takes a lot of time that we as a parking staff do not have. Even if its 10 seconds, that translates into nearly 3 hours of stopping and speaking to cars over a 1000 times and there are near 2000 cars coming and going through out the day.

Spring... not 110 degree heat would be cool lol, I paid vip in my poopra cause I didnt wanna walk a half mile, plus more money for a good cause is reason enough for me, and if your using that big ass landing strip again, why not a real drift demo, I'm sure theres some reputable local drifters that would be down for it.

Ya a drift event is out of the question IMO. There is already enough chaos going on at the TsT Spring Meet as it is. Also as JP said insurance would be outrageous, it's already freaking pricy just to do what we pull off now.

I think $5 is fair. Other car shows in Delco charge $10+.
For me, it's a chance to support a good cause. My mom, my aunt and my wife's uncle are all Cancer survivors. I know what it means for people with Cancer to have hope and inspiration. I attend the show to get an appreciation for what is trending with other makes and models. I look forward to this show yearly and can't wait for this years show!
