Over the weekend we welcomed The Greasy Fix to host their season closer car meet for 2017 in our back parking lot. Although planning time was short, both teams pulled off an incredible little event. Enticed with free food and a $200 raffle, cars from near and far came to enjoy the meet; one crew came all the way out from Montreal to join in the fun! Thanks again to all of the car spotters and photographers that stopped by.
Hosting a large meet like this also gave us the opportunity to test the limits of our space and hospitality at Goldwing. Coordinating parking for guests, ensuring people are safe and comfortable, and making sure media teams capture the event smoothly were challenges that turned into valuable experience. These lessons will have a positive impact on future meets, ensuring that both car clubs and photographers can enjoy a memorable gathering at our location.
