Sums it up perfectly, well said.mick1 wrote:I live in York and like the idea of the Scooter Shootout. I agree that the event is poorly marketed (i've just googled it to check it was Elvington again). I'm not aware of any local clubs being approached about the event which would be good marketing as the York area is a bit of hot-bed for the scooter scene.
It's probably too late for this year but the YSA may have made a good partner for this event. They had one one of their "Inland Invasions" about 3 miles from Elvington a couple of years ago, with numbers well over a thousand.
I agree that other scooter events make it hard to get large numbers at any one event but consistency is needed to ensure a growing attendance. Putting doubt over the event will only make the "undecided" look for an alternative.
I especially agree with the suggestion about Bishop contacting and talking to the YSA to see if an inland Invasion could tie in with the event next year....the numbers would be phenomenal.
Clearly people want these sprint events to happen........
