THE MISSION STATEMENT HAS CHANGED
SO PLEASE REREAD THE BELOW INFORNATION
WE WILL BE RIDING NOW
We, the members of this site, are noticing a pattern in all the OHV meetings that are being held and that is that they are all on the weekdays thus preventing us from showing our full support! We all want to show our support and a few members on this site have had the ability to do so even during the week when most of us have to work. We may have a solution! If we can get enough show of support here in this thread and on this website then we are going to organize a Saturday meeting. This will require at least 500 people to show up. CAN WE DO IT?? Below is the proposed agenda," not in stone and a work in progress"!
On SATURDAY MAY 19th by the SHOW of SUPPORT and with 5 months notice we will all meet at http://www.quicktrackmx.com/ and We will all bring our riding rigs for display and set up for a day of riding the track and trails . For example prepare to make a day of it! Bring the grill and
appropriate beverages and hang out. Bring the easy ups for shade and the fold out chairs to meet
and greet members of the site. In simple terms... . A BIG COOK OUT WITH FRIENDS! Roll
out your quads and bikes as a show of your investment so the PRESS that will be informed of our location can stroll through and be in AWE of how serious we take our sport and how much we spend doing it! We are trying to get our local shops involved by making a donation as in a part or gift certificate that can be raffled off to cover any expenses that may be involved in this adventure. I would even like to see enough support shown that the shops would want to set up a display with items for sale. This would show that we have BUISNESS support also.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: THIS DREAM IS SHAPING UP AS OF RIGHT NOW! Do not be fooled though, we can and will pull this off if this thread LIGHTS UP WITH SUPPORT! We will put out flyers at our local shops, run ads in our local papers, tell all our friends and post it on all our favorite websites.
Volunteer's welcome! Ideas welcome! Support welcome, HELP NEEDED!
This is not a RACE thing or a MUD thing or a QUAD thing! This is for anyone who likes to ride a OHV.
Thank you in advance for any support we can get.
P.S. Please put a link to this on all your other websites

sorry i had to change the date again but i have a good reason! our KEY SPEAKER would not have been able to make that weekend due to personal reasons! but on his behalf i feel that Thrumud has earned this move for all his hard work he has already done for our sport ;)
I WILL NOT MOVE THE DATE AGAIN UNLESS QUICKTRACKS SAYS TO.
and donta youa forgetit.
Id@
Maybe we could celebrate my 19th birthday one day early!
If so.... I will be there! If not... I just want to ride!
(I hope I'm not busy being a fireman though)
I gotta get the day off work but I'll be there. It's plenty of notice. You got a trailer Fred? Maybe we can truck pool.
hey dreth did you think about what i posted or is that not what you are looking for
we will be there. should be a good group of people to meet and have a great weekend.

I don't have a trailer, but if I did I would take you up. I want to see that LTR you got now 8)
Here is the address for those who dont know where it is. Its the address for the USA International Speedway but you go through their parking lot to get to Quick Track MX.

Lakeland, Florida 33809
Have you guys made up any flyer designs yet to hand out to local shops? I know the shops down the road from me would be all over this.
Thanks for changing the date dreth. :bow.gif I know you didn't do it on my behalf, but May 12 was the only booked day so far on our 2007 calendar, and I was trying to figure out how you got it ;D You ever play the lottery? ;)
I know there are some florida members on atvoutdoors.net so I posted this there too! I just copied and pasted Dreth's original post in this thread. People are taking the post I did and posting it on other forums they visit as well. ;)
What is the status on flyers and how do I go about getting some to hand out?
Members, please contact your local dealers and let them know about this event.
I will make somekind of lil memo or type flyer but must be sure the date is not gonna change again then we can let everyone know about it in advance then as we get closer to the date we will make up more detailed flyers to pass around
we should have flyers made up and ready for distribution by mid january. i want everything set in stone before we pass them out. ;)
cool that is what I need to know just email me 1 to gorda1072@hotmail.com when they are ready I pass around in se dade
Alrighty Good buddy I got the 19th off of work, I just put in for vacation day and it was the last slot. So all I need to do now is spread the word. ;)
Be sure to post the flyers. I'll hand them out here at work.
I will most likely be able to make it, and I'll try to bring all my riding buddies.Can't give a number until the day get's closer.
Sun Sports Cycle in Ft Myers is very interested in this event. Just want to tell all that Ian, the owner of Sun Sports was the only dealer owner that showed up at our last OHV meeting. He gave me his word that he will do his part to get more legal riding areas. Thanks Ian !

Quote from: Psycho Ward on January 09, 2007, 10:31:07 PM

it will depend if you ride or not. the track will charge you $25 to ride for the day and the gate fee will be no more than $10.

I am still wondering about the up front costs. I voted for getting the cash on the front end from the membership to divide the men from the boys so to speak. How much and where do I send the money?? Lets Roll.

That is the best i can do uploading it.
bump
as you can see we have a rough draft of the flyer. there will be a few changes but it looks good so far ;)
Nice job. Thanks for all your efforts. Good to see LMK back as well.
Also make a black and white version so I can print some out on the laser. It will convert it, but does better if already in B&W.

thanks
i also need to inform everyone that FLORIDAATV.COM is a major sponsor for this event. the new owner of the site is a great guy and to say the very least has been very generous! thanks Paul.
Should i just make a "sponsors" area on the flier? Also ill do both black and whites and colored versions, the only problem is i do not know how to upload it without distorting it. The changes will be later tonight as i need my mom's computer.

a sponsors section would be fine. maybe we can pick up a few more that way ;) were looking forward to the updates
Shaun, do you have Microsoft Publisher?

even if i did i would not know how to use it ??? and you spell my name SHAWN ;)
ahhh I thought it looked wrong. Sorry man i feel like an ass now.
Also im working on the flier as we speak and im going to try and save it in a file so EVERYBODY can open it.
-Curtis-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, i hate computers.

Now before anyone goes and prints these images, they will not print right if you A) right click and click "Print Picture" or B) Save the picture as then print it. A line on the left side of the page appears because of the way ATVFL is. I need to EMAIL you the picture then you can print it once you save it from the email.
-Curtis-
Can you give me more information about this event and the park itself. I might be able to round up my crew and head out there to support you.
I am very interested. Please pm me
do not print this yet! its not final and more will be added.
looks good Curtis. i will give you more hopefully monday. im waiting on a couple more tasks to be finalized.
Thanks for your efforts Curtis, It's really starting to come together! :ThumbsUp.gif
lookin good so far. LMK, make it a .pdf, it will be easy for everyone to print.
I would scrub brother, but in Publisher it does not allow you to do so.
Lookin good LMK. I cant wait for this thing, it should be huge. I hope everyone that said they will be there shows up. People we have to get together on this and any other event you can make it to. This state will outlaw ATV's if we arent persistent.
TBR will be there with at least 3.
this will be a great event for everybody to meet and socialize and just have a great weekend.
We will be there with our group. ;) Gives us a chance to meet some of you face to face ;D should be a great turn out.
Here is the file in pdf and resized so it fits on a letter size sheet of paper.
Do not print yet until Dreth and LMK have made final revisions.
http://www.floridaatv.com/QuadRally/OHVRally.pdf
I think we should invite Governor Crist. Seriously. At worst, he'll send a flunkie. Everyone invite their local politicians (commissioners, mayors, state representatives etc.). With the press present, the pols' love any photo ops. This thing can become bigger than anyone could imagine. Maybe get 60 Minutes in on it.
Hey Paul, thanks. I am going to redo the logos you made and try and get a blown up size logo from Mr. Bones so it is not so pixleated. After the final copies are made ill post em up.
-Curtis-
PS: Im glad im back too.
yeah or maybe even Geraldo LMAO
were making progress ;)
Good Job.

Hey, download primoPDf, the program is awesome. It installs as a print driver and prints to a .pdf with great quality.
Moving this back to the top.
I have been working with dreth a little on this and it will be a great weekend. If all goes well I think we may 1000 plus there.
sounds great see everybody there

i see that this has been read over 1500 times and that is good. thanks for working with us on this project so patiently. VERY SOON you will have flyers to pass out ;)
[color=deeppink[Alright, hurry up and post the final flyer so I can take these babies into work, lol.[/color]
BUMP BACK TO THE FRONT

whats your number? ill call you and finalize it. lol. i know it takes time to put stuff like this together. dont let everyone rush you and make you look over details. thanks for doin all the work.
Put exrider on the list with 4. Sorry can't pm you.
So how is the flyer coming?
Anyone wanna carpool?
Ok, I know everyone is waiting for the final flyer and I got to let Dreth off the hook. I was supost to hear from the last bit of information for that weekend today. I hope to be able to update tomorrow. But I think it will be worth it if everything falls into place.
Is this location large enough for this many people?I
m coming with my little girl and possibly some other friends.
Oh yes.
thanks Brett!
the RALLY IS ON :o PLEASE SEE NEW THREAD

Definitely large enough, they have a NASCAR track there, an 1/8th mile dragstrip, a mudbog & a motocross track.
On the flyer it said "motor cross track", correct spelling would be motocross track. I just want everything to look good & not have people saying, "see those ohv riders cant even spell" ;)

good eye! and thanks because we will be under a microscope ;)
It looks good! Just a few ideas. You might want to include the exact location of the event in case people don't know where it is or just add their web address. Or, a web address for the event, such as atvflorida.com/ohvrally for example. That can have all the info with a link to the thread in the forum. Add the day it is happening next to the date so people won't have to look it up in a calendar (like me).
LMK, I'll send you a higher DPI logo that you were asking about.
Thanks.
I forgot to ask, is FTR involved at all?
I think everyone that shows up should get a T-shirt!! FREE...
Hey Dreth, I sent you a PM, put my name on the board for a t least a definate 6, I feel I can get up to around 14 or so...
Looking forward to getting the Flyers......
Suggestion for the flyers, if someone prints off a stack and dropps off any at a dealer, post it in here so others in your area dont try to deliver a butt load to a location that already has a bunch..........
~WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~,,,,I am excited.....yeah baby!
This looks like this thing is going to be a blast!!!!. Can some give some info onthe mudbog??? can atvs play :P or will it allowed?
This is going to be long trip from Jax, Be ashame if we did not get muddy :D :D .I do understand the main reason for the
event,but still plan on having fun all soooo.... Medic mudder.
