I'm not sure why some people are trying to pick this apart. Same meet, just doing a lot more good for the community. There's nothing confusing or difficult about it at all... just get excited and save the date, and plan on coming out and having a good time the same as years past.
Year 1 and 2 were planned by completely different people, and they decided to name the event the TST Sonic Run, which I had nothing to do with at all. They weren't interested in continuing the meet afterwards because it does require quite a bit of time, even in its simplest form.
Year 3 Jon stepped up with no prior attachment to the event. The turnout was big, and very successful even in the rain. I am curious about the details on the 'record donations' that were collected. I was the one who was pushing for doing something for charity which was originally shot down, but then a food drive was added in before the event. I'm not aware of any donation other than canned food, but I'm sure it broke the record of 0 the previous two years.
This year we want to do something AWESOME. We want to build on what was founded here on TST 4 years ago and make the most of it. The quality of the event will not be compromised, in fact I'm confident it will be better from a larger attendance and people winning things like free tint jobs, alignments, dyno pulls, and car parts from raffles throughout the day.
Originally in year 1 and 2, TST's name was in the name of the event and we didn't do that this year, so I'm not sure what anyone could try to twist out of that, its actually placed quite small on the flyer at the bottom. This IS a TST event, its where things have always been organized and centered around, but thats really not whats important on the flyer.
This is going to be an awesome meet... all the good of the past years, plus some. We're growing and improving on things each year, as we should.
Oh and I agree that TST is a product of its members... you guys are what make it and as these types of discussions show, those of you who spend your time here feel quite passionately about what takes place here. We have a huge amount of respect and consideration for that, and any forum decisions are made with the members in mind.
