View Full Version : Announcing SevenStock 8
rotarynews.com 05-02-2005, 06:11 PM http://rotarynews.com/node/view/615
After your emails, phone calls, forum postings, and face to face conversations, we would like to announce that last fall's SevenStock7 was not the last event in the series! We proudly announce SevenStock8. Mark your calendars for October 8th, 2005. We've moved the event back to October to take advantage of the near perfect weather in Southern California and to allow the caravans crossing the Southwest to run in cooler weather.

Jedi54 05-13-2005, 03:23 PM I have no idea what SevenStock is but it sounds like an AMAZING event!
*frantically looking for threads on last year's event*
Plus, it's only like 10 minutes from my house :D
And, if all goes well, I'll definitely have my RX8 by then :D :cool:

www.rotarynews.com for now SS info... or even www.sevenstock.org for pix, and more goodies.
Was definitely worth it to check out tons of other rotary enthusiast's cars, and even the raffle/vendors/etc was good.
Though I would ask for a bit more "food" vendors there... like have a few In N Out there to supply food.
zoom44 05-13-2005, 04:56 PM hey yeah didnt this thing start as a cook out? more FOOD:)
XDEEDUBBX 05-13-2005, 05:09 PM last years food kinda sucked! Hopefully they will have better food.
Outlaws eXtreme 05-13-2005, 05:16 PM Wait a second, they had food there? Where? Not no hot dog cart was it?
Have In N Out bring a few of their trucks, sell tickets (charge slightly more... since it's kinda like a fundraiser type deal), wait in line, present ticket, get a burger... etc etc.
Have Subway, premade sandwiches, etc.. sell...

There was a food vendor trailer there all day!! Right at the entrance to Vendor midway!
We working on different food options!! We are talking to several food vendors, including In-N-OuT... but the requirements are big though! In-N-Out can only be available for 1.5 hours, and after that it's a $100 a HALF hour, beyond the food sales. So, there are challenges. We are working on it though.
Feeding 5000 peeps is easier said than done!

Outlaws eXtreme 05-13-2005, 06:09 PM I'm sure if Mazda uses their leverage... for instance, calls In N Out, and say they are having this event, could promote both franchises, I'm sure they would work something out :)
Could have a catering type deal... charge food, make a little profit.
Honestly I didn't even see any food being sold... must have been Rotary Blindsided...
Nevertheless, if there were food, it would have to be away from everyone's car's and Mazda HQ so no trash will be all over the place. How about around the corner where people were parking, in that area, designate a food vendor place... Or if no RC race thing, then have the food location there...
Was the RC thing successful? Personally I glanced at it, and didn't really care much for that... :P

Damn bro... you sure have a lot to say eh?? :eek: I'm glad we have you around to give input... who knows where we would be without you :D :D just messing with you my man! Thanks for caring actually!! Input is always welcome!
All kidding aside, we are pursuing all angles and leveraging everything we can, don't worry! The food vendor location has never been an issue and will not be this year, so we got this covered also. We are looking at more clearly marked trash cans and more restrooms!
The RC thing was HUGELY successful and will be back again!
Food Vendor was right in front of Racing Beat and next too the MazdaTrix booths.... see pic... I think you did go ROTARY blind... it happens to all at their first SevenStock :D so MUCH to see!

Outlaws eXtreme 05-13-2005, 07:14 PM Oh man, I remember that... the water bottle place.. :P We need more food places!!
But ya, input input input... it's better than "no-put". Uhmm...
And there were restrooms? Where? I had to pee in the bushes... j/k (In the Mazda HQ area)... but there were porto-potties outside?
Dude....we handed out event programs WITH a venue map, to every car that entered the show. I'm sure you left yours in the car!! There were also signs around the venue.
Here is what the map looked like, so you can see all the stations on it... including the 10 port-a-pottie restrooms.

truemagellen 05-13-2005, 08:15 PM that is a pretty dinky food area :p

you can't see the food tralier in the pic.... added in this version... not that small!!

Any chance you can talk to RB again for another day after Sevenstock "open house". That was a really fun day. Good stuff.

speeddemon32 05-18-2005, 11:34 AM Hey Bern. i am sure you have been told this a million times. but Thanks to you and your team for getting this together again. :D
there is no doubt in my mind that this is a lot of work to put together. and thanks for making it free. not that i am a cheap bastarrd, but i know 2 years ago i was and there was no way i could have went 2 years ago if it wasnt free. :p

Jedi54 05-19-2005, 05:35 PM Random thought:
Since fellow rotary enthusiasts will be joining us from all parts of the country (most of which we've NEVER met) how cool would it be if we could have some kind of name tag with our forum names on them?!
Maybe even with a picture of our avatars?
I know this is a free event and there probably isn't a budget for it but I for one wouldn't mind making one at home...
Would anyone else consider this? (so I'm not the only retard with a name tag on) :o
P.S. Never been to SevenStock so if this has been done in the past, I apologize for the unoriginal thought. :rolleyes:
Outlaws eXtreme 05-19-2005, 05:51 PM The closest thing we had was meeting at the booth for the RXtuner Mag booth, and introducing ourselves. It was a decent grouping, and we even had a group pic shot in the Quad area... Wonder who has that pic. :P
But name tagging people wouldn't be a bad idea... but it would look mighty dorky for us that have it, and the ones that don't would think we are dorks.
Jedi54 05-19-2005, 06:16 PM At least I'm not the only one who thinks this might be a decent idea. (thanks Outlaw)
Yeah, the dork factor could be a major issue for some people...
Hmm, how to pull this off?

Also remember that all the other Rotary dorks from the many other Rotary forums are thinking the same thing, so there might be a bunch of dorks with name tags from all kinds of Rotary forums in attendance!! Dorks UNITE!!! :D
The reason I hate FORUM NAMES!...
-Bern "Berny" H.
Outlaws eXtreme 05-19-2005, 06:50 PM The only thing I can think of is to have the users on the forum to wear a RX8club shirt, then just ask each other what our names/screenames are.
Even though I'm planning to wear one of my older Sevenstock shirts... hmm
I can bring a baloon machine, hand out Bright Yellow/Pink balloons with the website's logo on it, and give it to the members... then each member can write their names/screenames on the baloon. Even from far away, someone will see..."Hey it's MikeB"...

NICE!!!! love it... just pick-up after yourselves!
btw, I'll be the BIGGEST dork :confused: up on stage with the mic, so no need for any ID for me! :p

^^^ All hail our Dork Leader! :p
Outlaw, that would be pretty cool if you had the balloons... Hmm, how could we attach the baloons to our cars? That way everyone can know who's driving what...
rotarynews.com 05-20-2005, 03:09 PM We've had a RX-*Club/ RX-7 Mail list get together for the past 3 years at the Hilton, right before the banquet.... Called it the Hilton Happy Hour.
Here's a pic from SevenStock 5.
http://sevenstock.org/Photos/Sevenstock5/SS5_475.jpg
Tim from the Arizona Club usually helps put this together, and has provided the name tags in the past.
We will probably do something like it again this year.

D1GT-x8 08-02-2005, 12:46 PM if you want to participate in the car show what is the process? do i have to get a confirmation? do i have to email anyone? or do i just show up and park my car anywhere? PLEASE HELP
Show-up early and get a spot... I mean like 7:00am - 7:30am an line-up. It's that easy... at around 9:00am the gates open and the SS volunteers will show you where to park.

Outlaws eXtreme 08-08-2005, 06:16 PM If Shawrf comes with his car, I'm pretty sure he would win... :P Has everything and MORE.
Btw, that weekend is also the CIAS in Anaheim... perhaps there could be some people from out of state or simply car enthusiasts that would like to get a caravan going to the place on the Thursday or Friday night? Or even Sunday if Racing Beat doesn't have their thing this year.
XDEEDUBBX 08-08-2005, 06:20 PM yea most likely shaw would win...he has everything...(dam him)...i spoke with gary at the ol skool bach and me and FE3P volunteered to help with parking coordination..hehehe...you guys better start kissing up if you want a good spot, or i'll put you in the back..(thats where i was last year :( ),..hahahah
