Spring is coming! Preparing your members for the year

As the Spring season approaches you and the members of your club will start to get excited about the upcoming year and all the upcoming cruises and car shows. To help you and your members out with planning out the upcoming year, take some time to plan out your car clubs membership meetings. Your members will appreciate the planning more than you will ever know because they have a lot of activities competing for their time, so the sooner they know when car club activities are, the more likely they are to put them on their calendars.

Reminders help

Case Study

Case Study: Mustangs at the Island

If you are a fan of Ford Mustangs, the Mustangs at the Island car show is a Must attend show. The 3-day annual show is held at Treasure Island Casino just south of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and attracts around 300 Mustangs from every era of the cars production. The show schedule includes a driving experience with Gary Curtis, a cruise, poker run, movie night, and many other activities to keep the participants active all weekend long.

The club that hosts the show, The Lake Country Mustang Club, uses the Middletwin suite for managing membership, and used the Middletwin car show software to manage the car show.

They started by setting up the show in Middletwin, with the dates and show description. Since all the cars would be Ford Mustangs, setting up makes and models was easy, however if they had more, it would not have been difficult to setup. And with Middletwin you can even let the participant manually enter their make and model rather than defining a list to choose from.

Since the car show portion of the event is held in the casino parking lot, the club decided to set sections of the parking lot up as classes in Middletwin and created “placeholder” registrations for all available spaces in the parking lot. Then, when a car would arrive and be parked, the car would be entered into the placeholder registration.

Onsite, doing the car show, Middletwin provided 3 chromebooks for volunteers to use to enter in participant details as they arrived, and a printer to print out voting results. Voting was open from 12:30 to 2:30 on Saturday and the show used Middletwin’s new mobile voting, providing one time use QR codes to all participants. This allowed the vote to be entered by the participants, and allowed the show to be able to be able to print out the voting results at 2:30, the moment voting closed.

Simple and flexible setup along with mobile voting really took away the stress from the club volunteers when it came to the car show management, and ran smoother than it ever had in past years.

Case Study

Case Study: Power on Tower Muscle Car Show

The Power on Tower Muscle car show is an all makes and models charity car show in Superior Wisconsin and is hosted at the Benna Ford car dealership on Tower avenue and run by the Twin Ports Mustang and Ford club.

The annual car show was held on August 20 2024 (originally planned for August 15th but changed due to weather). Participants were encouraged to pre-register by the Benna Ford dealership and the Twin Ports Mustang and Ford club through online posts that included a QR code that took participants directly to the pre-registration page. Pre-registration was low due to the car shows date change.

The show was setup with a total of 18 classes based on car year and weather it was modified or not.

On the day of the show a total of 106 cars showed up and registered for the car show. The show was held from 5-7:30 and all car registrations were entered in manually by volunteers using 3 computers, and custom dash cards were printed out for each participant by a volunteer immediately after the participants were entered into the system.

Participant voting was handled using Middletwins new mobile voting process. This worked extremely well even with participants who initially considered themselves to not be technically savvy enough to figure it out. Because of how well this worked, only 6 ballots had to be manually entered, and when 7:30 came the Twin Ports Mustang and Fords club was able to print out the voting results. It only took a few minutes to add in special awards and the awards ceremony started right away.

Because this is a charity car show the Benna Ford dealership and the Twin Ports Mustang and Ford club were able to raise, and match, a very generous donation for the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Fund in Douglas County and the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans in St. Louis County.
