It's obvious as Michael Johnson's article "Best Week Ever" in MM&FF's issue states it. Anyhow back to the topic at hand. I do know that one MAD Staff member is obviously mad the dates for MW moved as she has displayed her opinion on line and to vendors and still shows up at the MW events. Heck it don't matter when a event is held - someone will not be able to come, it maybe due to kids in school or kids playing travel ball, an unexpected sickness or death, a car breaks down or financial reasons...you just can't please everyone. But their is no use of going out here on social media displaying your drama for all to see just because your kids can't come. Heck my kids are in college and my oldest took a couple of days off to come and is surviving her last year of college, it didn't disrupt her schooling. Anyway, drifting off topic again LOL. Just man up and say hey yeah we have watched your MW event and we took your concept and renamed it MAD or PITS (that's another sore spot - as they copied their business model, sponsorship proposal almost to a tee and top 75 Award and then the Kevin Brown and his wife go around boasting they are going to cause people not to come to MW and talk trash about MW) to have our event be the mega event from the get go. Just because you say you have 800 Mustangs committed don't mean squat. People can post all they want to and say yeah it's going be grand see you there, but that don't mean they are committed. 800 committed???? Really, come on - so you have these 800 peoples name and addresses and their paid entry fees - right? I didn't think so. Just like PITS boasting they had 600 cars last year - LOL just ask one of the largest Mustang Vendors on the East Coast what he said to them when he asked for numbers LOL. It took MW since 2002 to become as big as they are. Several weeks upon weeks traveling to meet the vendor in person at their place to sell and secure sponsorship is how they done it. Not by going to MW and bothering the vendor that is their set-up, when sometimes that person is not the person you need to talk to. I seriously doubt anyone will match the registration and attendance that MW has within 8-10 years. Now if you give away 1,000,000 cash in a drawing, that might boost up your attendance, but then that's all they are there for is the money LOL. But hey you might get that much when the title sponsor i heard is around $15,000! Have your events and have fun but don't copy business models. Be ethical to your Mustang community. Make your event unique and come up with different ideas instead of copying what others do. The event from 2007 found out quickly with a cease and desist paper to end it now before law suits come into play especially when they tried naming it "The Official". Again all over one person that got ticked off and wanted to cause drama. People can say what they want to but no way anyone will ever top MW ever! I will always come to MW, with or without my 03 GT Convertible.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="03BananaGTVert, post: 16081632, member: 58263"] Ok been sitting back and watching this and now I believe I need to say something. You say "we had a lengthy conversation with MW people" - but I do know who are talking about, but he only stated to me that he only talked to one person and that being Jeff. This guy Jeff talked to is a MW Support Team person (not one of the 3 Original Staff members) and he is well known around the US Mustang and Saleen Community and a very straight forward and trusting person. He said he explained the info that others and he was seeing when MAD started posting info and dates for their event. It was the exact dates MW had for several years and also had a lot of the same business model events copied. He said Jeff also explained he didn't come to MW but would be coming next year and wasn't copying anything. That he has only had a Mustang for 2 years and wanted to do something near him for as he was in South GA. He said he wasn't trying to take away from any ones event. Now we all know by reading this thread and reading Facebook, that MW in fact did not lose attendance but grew attendance for the 2nd year in a row for the September dates.
