Kearney Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 I've emailed the crowd doing the promotions for Japfest. I don't mind if for instance there is 10 cars, we have 6 passes and the other 4 cars costs are split between the 10. If everyone has to pay and they go back on what they've already said then I won't be there, I know a few feel the same . You've a very fair point its annoying alright , They shouldn't of emailed us that first message. The reason I said yeah is because most people didn't have a problem paying if they had to thats all. I'm just going to wait til monday to ring them and sure feck it I'll go to town on them and tell them we won't show our cars if they don't let us in for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 All that we want is the 6 passes originally promised. I'm almost certain mnc are getting passes for 6 drivers of show cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supramkivcork Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well I know one or 2 that are scheduled to be there. Unreal cars altogether but Japfest didnt know that when giving them 6 cars. Waiting to hear back confirmation on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) It's just the general sites that are getting free driver passes.mnc, dtd etc. I'm out not attending. They're not giving passes to owners clubs. Disgraceful if you ask me. I wouldnt lay the blame on the promotions crowd it's obviously Mondello doing the bollox with this. Not a chance am I paying to see my own car on show, haha. Sullyd also boycotting this because of this stance by Mondello. Show stand 1. Kearney - J spec SZ - confirmed # 1 2.

Wolfie - Supra J spec TT - confirmed # 3 Was on to sharon and to (I think his name is) Kristian from modified motors yesterday and I drove down to mondello to get the exhibitor passes. Anyway they both said, like you have above, that free passes are only giving to carsite forums and not to owner clubs. If anyone is going to this just to spectate it'll be 20 euro at the gate and then more for parking. So if you think of it like this, your paying to get in and free vip parking No, but on a serious note, Everyone else has had to pay for the car to be on a showstand if they are in an owners club. We have to aswell. Dealing with mondello directly is the only way to ensure the deal we are getting not off any other third parties. It's completely up to yourself Mark, if you'se want to pull out over not getting the free passes its up to yourself, But I've put alot of time into trying to make this work, between third parties sending emails telling us we are free in etc and all sorts of shite. Was with Kev-gtr yesterday of SO.com, we're working on this together to have the two site stand side by side. We worked out the numbers between we'll have on the stands. He's 27 cars on his stand and I think I'll be lucky to have 6 on ours Every car is precious to the stand, we don't have 27 like kevs, we've about 6! Mondello probaly wouldn't care if we didn't go, they'll just find something else to fill up the spaces. But the reason we are doing this is for our club. I'd appreciate it if everyone looked at it like that and not a money making business for mondello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supramkivcork Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) I know you have put effort in Eamo, there's no doubting that. I know what it's like sending countless fruitless e-mails/texts/calls as much as anyone. I won't be there though and it's no reflection on you at all. It's on the greed of a track that are running a show on their own grounds not rented premises and playing the poor pauper . It's not as if they need to pay rent to host this show. So costs while considerable won't be insurmountable to give owners clubs the same treatment that independent forums get. Simple as that mate, they supposedly model the show on the UK Japfest, it's as close we'll ever get but still a million miles in terms of standards of quality and quantity of cars/ organisation/trade stands/track itself etc. The way I look at it is I enjoy the shows normally as I usually have the car in and don't pay for them. Their show is not a show without show cars therefore those on show should be rewarded by a free pass. Greed is a terrible thing and Mondello should not be biting the hand that feeds them.It's no wonder there's little interest in Irish shows anymore with this type of mentality taking over. It doesnt cost them to give us the passes as I won't be making the trip anyway so it's not as if there losing out on my 20 euro entrance fee. Aswell as the rest of the costs petrol/accomodation/food etc costs a fair bit to come up from Cork so I'll be leaving it off this time. I also look as if I was to go this time I'd be being hypocritical of myself as I often say to others don't go if ya don't think the shows are worth the 20 spot. It's a sad state of affairs mate when more Supras want to go to a meet than Japfest . The main reason for that is lads are sick of being raped by organisers of these shows. I really wish we had the standard of the UK shows as even one of a comparable standard would completely obliterate the rest of them.

Thats a fair point you have there, if you do have second taughts about going as I said before I only live 25min away so your more than welcome to have the spare room in my house for somewere to stay if you want. Its very true alright, just wanted to try make a good apperance at this show but like you said I can't put a gun to anyones head at this one to do it.
