> [@JVG Motorsports](#): > > Do you as a person want to be solely liable for idiots such as some people at the lot do damage and pay out of pocket. Im not talking about a meet but if it was like a show like in her original post any land owner is going to require it because they dont want to be liable either. Yeah i get ya there, but say for instance we get a big place, that serves food and whatnot, and this event would make them alot of money, wouldnt their insurance cover it? Or no? ---

If the show was during the day it would be less likely for idiots to pull the whole burn out and go 90 through a parking lot routine ---

No. I had insurance with my shop when I was located in the Kohl’s Plaza. The insurance is written down to cover day to day activity’s. In my case i was required by my landlord to pick up and additional rider policy for the day of my show for one million dollars personal injury and property coverage and I was told I what I was and wasnt allowed to do. A bunch of people on this forum will tell you I had no vendors. Due to my location in a plaza they dissallowed any businesses out side my plaza from selling anything for a profit and I had to pre-approve contest and such. It was a process. ---

Its a lot of work and tough to pull off. If any one remembers that huge fiasco of a car show in lake george a couple years back not every thing runs smoothly. And unless you have deep pockets esp. with a first year even dont be shocked to lose a grand out of pocket. I feel very fortuniate that my show went pretty well. Only had a small group of jackasses. Def. had some things that didnt go my way. But I was happy I meet and exceeded my own expectations. ---

what if you have it at a public park though ? Theres no limit to how many people can be at a public park and they have to carry they’re own insurance, is that a possibility ?and how much will it cost for the insurance ? I know alot of advertisers that I might be able to get some sponsors to get some extra cash flow, its a possibility ---

I know alot of advertisers that I might be able to get some sponsors to get some extra cash flow, its a possibility To have it in a public place you have to get the approval of the local town that its in. They require permits which range from $500-$1000 and will also require insurance as that was something I looked into as well. I had o get a permit from colonie even when I did my show at Kohls plaza. Now this is only if you have a car show its alot more simple to stick with a GTG BBQ like the Shift518 BBQ at Central Park in Schnectady. ---

Honestly, if losing a grand is a big deal you shouldn’t be proposing or planning a show. You really need to find a good location and start advertising now. ---

well Im going to try for the next cpl weeks to see what I can get figured out, I work for the Denooyer’s and I am almost positive they would sponsor it and even allow me to use one of they’re properties for the show, I will look into that also, If I cant get anywheres or if it turns out being to costly I will just plan some kinda bbq for shift518 and 518carscene and maybe some other local forum, we will see, I will at least try before I give up 🙂 ---

good idea, I hope you make it happen. ill be happy to help out in anyway i can. i think it would be best to keep it local albany/colonie area. meets that are a distance tend to not workout as well. like i said you have time vote on a spot go through all the steps and it should turnout great. ---

LVD track day is actually more than likely your best best. They have their own insurance, and it woould cost alot less. Plus, the attraction of racing/grudges will bring people. Bring a few grills and theres the food, they have b/r’s. Got my vote! [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2009-car-show-meet/240791.md?page=4)
