Re: Texoma HotRod/RatRod Show
Yep, I've displayed my Rabbit and Pusher combo at a number of car shows, and the reception has always been enthusiastic. Most car shows will allow you to show your car for little more than the regular patron entry fee. If you want to have your car judged, that usually costs more.
Be warned, if you do this and stay with the car to talk with the public, you will need throat lozenges by the end of the day. I've talked myself hoarse each time I've exhibited at car shows, energy fairs, EV appreciation days, and Earth Day observances.
Be sure to type up some informational pages and post them where they can be read by the attendees. Many people will be able to read up on your car while you are away resting your voice or talking to a small crowd of other people. I've found that some people are reluctant to approach me until they have read some of the literature describing the car.
Also have "business cards" with your name/email/web site printed on them. I see several hundred of these go out each day the car is shown.
It also doesn't hurt to put out a "donations" bowl if the organizers will allow it. Good way to collect some coffee money!
