For all of the buzz and people who have expressed interest, the response so far is lackluster. We will be making a decision in May as to whether or not to go forward with this event. If this event is going to cost us money, there is no way we will continue the planning. I'm on the fence right now as to whether or not I should even contact Nissan/Infiniti and other potential sponsors if there are no attendees.

It's amazing; the support prior to opening registration was strong but now that it's time to put your money where your mouth is, everyone disappears into the woodwork

 

Don't take this the wrong way... but it may be because your website looks shady at best, and you have 7 posts.
Being a total unknown to almost everyone on the board doesn't really help.
Also, this seems to be buried in one small portion of the forum that people don't actually check that often.

Those factors are probably the biggest reasons you don't have anymore registrations.

 

I've openly admitted the website needs help. I am by no means an HTML guru like many others who are into cars.

With regard to being a newbie, I can understand that. HOWEVER, google my name and Nissan or Infiniti and you'll probably find LOTS about me. Like I think I've said, I have NOTHING to hide. My username is my full name. You could probably find my home address with minimal work on the internet. You might even find my personal website I did a LONG time ago and it'll actually look familiar

Is there another location in a different sub-forum that I should have posted this? I thought I posted in the most appropriate place but, if I should have it moved, I wouldn't mind speaking with an admin/moderator.

 

Due to lack of interest, the convention is cancelled. We will be
contacting individuals who have already registered to discuss their
options. There will still be a group of us attending a NASA track day
on Saturday August 6 at NJMP's Lightning Circuit. For more
information and to register directly with NASA for this event, please
visit www.nasanortheast.com. DO NOT contact me about NASA's
registration, pricing, rules, etc. The time for me handling the track
event and handling questions was from 12/1 to 6/1.

There will be no Meet & Greet. 14 people have registered. Hardly
worth the time and effort to organize something formal

There will be no Car Show. 10 cars are registered. Definitely not
worth the time to find and set up a venue or to pay for trophies

There will be no picnic. 11 people are registered. I think most
catering companies have a minimum order and it's way more than 11

There will be no raffle. Although 260 tickets were sold, they were to
8 people. Again, embarassing to request raffle prizes for such a
small group... no business would give away a product for additional
exposure to... 8 people

There will be no t-shirts or hats. 11 have been ordered. Again, I
believe there is a minimum order way more than 11

For those who will inevitably complain, the time to register or
complain or get involved was between 12/1 and 6/1. Too little, too
late.

Many thanks to the handful of people that did register and I will be
in touch with these people separately.
