Putting together "annual ride in" to the Huntsville Polaris Slingshot facility.

Quote from rabtech

@KZ1 you are correct.... These are some of the challenges that a ride in would have for sure...

I have several hurdles to work out for this to be effective.

April seems to be the favorite month.... One thing for sure is that it wont be this year... To much going on for sure....

@MACAWS is going to do the planning and logistics. I will let him and Spencer work with everyone on getting things laid out.....

My main goal by this thread was just to get a timeframe that this could happen.

Hey gang I am on my way back from an overseas trip and will be getting to work on this project shortly.
As soon as I can clear a date on my schedule I will be flying out to Huntsville for a planning meeting
I also have an event I need t get wrapped up in September "Slingshot Booze and Blues II"

I am going to ask @rabtech to help set up a thread for suggestions - these events are all about the participants so we will work to deliver the rides and functions you want. I will post more shortly. I am extremely excited about the opportunity to help organize such a stellar event. But please remember I am only one of many people who will be behind the scenes making this possible. As rabtech posted earlier Spencer @ Champion Powersports is one of the key players in bringing this thing to life.

Just put the date where we can have maximum participation. That would be my only suggestion but not on top of another SS event.

We are not going to plan a date that will conflict with other scheduled events
We are just trying to add a new venue that we hope will become an annual event - Huntsville is great location

Just let me know what us Vendors can do!

Might also want to think about a vendor ride. A time set aside for us to get out for a little drive time early in the morning or later afternoon. Most will be there for customer support but who would not like to go for a ride with some of these guys that have made a lot of peoples wishes come true.

We will definitely be reaching out to all vendors as they will have a say in how the vendor area is set up, hours of operation and so on.
The event will be more successful if everyone is happy.

And the Jack Daniels tour is very interesting. Especially the samples.

some time at end of April is Texas Hill Country Event (I think it is already booked for the next 2 years)
Edit just checked @ivor site and it is April 18 through 22 next year.

March has a big Sling event...and April is the SS in the Texas Hill Country

I sure like the idea to have extra time to make plans. Anything in 2018 and I'm ready.

I'm in, Like most of us on here with kids and school and jobs of course. Sometime in the summer or spring sounds good.

We're in... April '18 works!!

First Sunday in April is Easter ...... Polaris could sponsor a rear deflector hunt instead of an Easter egg hunt ..... Just kidding this sounds like it's gonna be AWESOME

I agree. Some of us have kids in school and some work for the school board.
I think it would be better to have it sometime in the summer when more people can attend.

Ant new infro on making this happen?

I need to get with Spencer to work on it.
He was busy with a new baby and I have been a bit swamped at work, Hopefully we can start things up after the holidays

Is there any new news on the possibility of this event happening?

Since it is only two hours away it makes it easy for me to attend providing that work or racing doesn't get in the way.

You know a man has to keep his priorities straight!

I have been so busy at work I have not had a chance to do anything for this event or the events I run in Clarksville.

I definitely can relate!

As I said "a man has to keep his priorities straight' and sometimes that means that we don't get to do the things that we want to do when we want to do them.

Hopefully things will settle down for you soon and you can enjoy some time doing things of your own choosing. Just know that all your efforts for the good of this forum and it's members are greatly appreciated!

As an ole ham would say "73"!
