Showcars wanted...

I have been asked to try and get together a couple of show-worthy cars (Tylorrr... the GC was the 1st to come to mind), for an event at Andretti Speed Lab on February 16th. It is a creative reactor with a big client of ours, in which we are brainstorming for a huge project. MTV, VH1, and Spike TV will be there, so it would be some rad exposure. They would need the cars the night before to park them inside Andretti... I'm not quite sure how it would work past that... but I figured I would ask.

They wanted full racecars too... but everyone I know with a racecar is heading to Houston.

Let me know if you're interested, and I can get more details for you.

THANKS!!!

my car is beat up enough to be a race car, but its damn sure not "show" worthy. Tylors GC FTW!

don't think mine really qualifies for either (and i may be going to houston as well), but if they were interested in another beat up 240 i might be down

I think they want either full race or show-worthy. I'm trying to get more details about it. I'm still not sure why they want cars at a creative brainstorming event with ad agencies.

I may try and holla at Erik and see where the Chicken is at.
I'll let ya'll know more info as I hear it.

The crazy thing is... I don't even think it's something the general public can attend. I dunno... I'm confused, lol.

I don't think that would be a problem... I just don't think the meeting is open to the general public. I'm still working on finding out more.

These cars are awesome. Thanks for getting these.

It will be held at the Andretti Speed Lab and they will need to have their cars there the night before (Feb. 15) I am awaiting a call back from them as to all of the details, so when I hear from her I will get back to you. They have two garage doors that you will be able to drive right into the conference room.

Yes they can stay with their car all day. People will not be getting into them or anything, and if they have any rules about how to touch them or anything have them give them to us. If they come, they might be asked to share a couple of things, but they will be there from 9 – 5 and can join us for drinks afterwards.
I sent them pictures of Tylorrrs car, the Chicken, and the Batlground Evo. The Evo isn't confirmed yet... but I think it'll be a go. I will post more as it develops.
:D

If the soarer had a back window I would let you put it in there.. But I don't know if thats the Demographics of what they are looking for..

I don't know what they're looking for exactly. It still seems odd to me that they even want cars. As far as I know this is kinda like a design-nerd creative brainstorming idea session. Maybe I don't know the whole story... but that's what we were told. It is an all-day thing, so maybe it is something more than I know.
