I guess noone understands the cost to put on the event. I wish it was free for me to keep it going but it will be shut down and G Force wont have any part if I dont provide officers, extra trashcans, porta potties, etc. Honestly I dont want to charge anything what so ever but its "THE" only guaranteed way I can make sure I have the money to cover these costs. A donation box is cool but who is going to willingly pay? What maybe 10-15 people paying a $1 or 2? I cant make everyone happy but at the same time Im just trying to keep the event going.

Basically, how are you going to have it blocked off/reserved? Cause i am usually the first group to get there, and I park alont the Hill everytime, is that going to be reserved, or just the middle section and the wall?
Only reason I want the hill is to set the grill and tent up and try and raise money for a charity.

I understand it takes alot to throw it together, I mean shit I bet G-Force LOVEs it becuase of the people coming in there paying to ride. Yeah A donation box wouldn't do much I understand that..

God, I wish my Print Screen key would work so I could show the back way in...It's ALOT easier than having to deal with the mile long 45 minute ride..lol.
I understand having to pay for the event, but Reserved parking is kind of silly.....IMO of course. IDK how many people you have helping you with this, but maybe if you had a couple shirts made that say "Event Staff" on them, or something along those lines, and sent multipul people around during the day asking for Donations, I'm sure you'd get quite a bit, seeing as how many people show up per year, and how much money people are already spending and don't have a problem with it, I'm sure they wouldn't mind sparing 2/3$ in order to keep the event alive.

I'm aware of that, but I mean, you'll have people paying for Reserved parking, people paying for "vendors", well, I hope they're paying for the 10 spots they take, and if say you have 3/4 people walk around all day, and each one has a Donation Box, I could see them gathering quite a bit of money

hahaha calm down. The event is free but who is going to pay for the police officers, trash cans, porta potties, etc? The Reserved parking is paying for that. This is the only way to keep the event going, because Henrico police almost shut it down last year. You cant have an event with thousands of people and not have any police officers present.
I would thoroughly LOVE to see you tow my car or any of the people's that I drive down with.
LOL. That would just be very bad.
Again, what happens if I get there at say, 8AM WAY before the meet even starts. Are you going to tell me I have to move if I'm there before all the bs?

Alright I gotta question for you big guy..
If this "reserved parking" doesn't work out and you have the whole front blocked off and you have 1000 spaces but 4/500 cars show up. Are you going to keep that blocked off so there's a big ass empty space? Or are you going to allow people to park there? Or wait, are they going to have to pay that dumbass fee?
And another thing.. I mean.. If the police are working already.. aren't they already getting paid to do their job? Why waste OUR money to pay them additional to do what they're already doing?

I think managing the "reserved" section is a good idea.
I got there early last year, parked in the middle no problem.
But once more people showed up, there was that half row thing that formed, blocking half the cars that were already there.
I wasn't blocked, but I know alot of people that were, were pretty upset.
I don't think you mean to regulate the ENTIRE front stretch though, so I don't see what the issue really is.
There is plenty of space in the front, if someone is managing it, I can only see it working out better than last year.

Last year was not planned for that many people,and it showed.They are just trying to keep things somewhat controled this year.
