Let me be the first one to respond to this pop quiz:
"1.) We have the oppotunity to have fully catered dinners at BOTD this year, complete with a full sit down dining room. The meals include a salad, entree, dessert, and drinks. The meals are all you can eat and are of restaurant quality, not "lunch room" quality.
Would you be willing to pay about $55 dollars for four meals?"
YES*2 since my wife would be joining me.
"2.) What are the top 3 things you feel are important factors that would give you the most satisfaction from BOTD from this list?"
#1 - Accomodations
#2 - Excursions - Such as driving as a group through the Dragon, the Skyway, the Devil's triangle, etc... on the other hand if by "excursions you mean putting on hiking boots and going in the woods after big foot then you can put this one at the bottom of the list.
#3 - Food and Beverage
"3.) Using the same list, what are the three LEAST important factors that really make no difference to your enjoyment of BOTD."
#8 - Awards ceremony(last place) - I know a lot of people put lots of effort not only into their car's performance but also into the looks of the car, for these people an awards ceremony might be important, but for those of us that go to the dragon just to drive the
out of our cars this is negligible.
#7 - Prizes - Read above, I think driving the roads out there its a prize all onto itself.
#6 - Lowest possible price - Not that I want to pay a high premium, I think we would all like to save as much as possible, but if a much lower price its going to affect the overall experience of the trip in a negative way then I much rather pay a little extra(big emphasis on LITTLE extra
)
"4.) Would you be willing to spend $100 on registration if it covered all four meals?"
It depends on what else its included on that registration, do we get discounts on lodging??, event t-shirts????, memorabilia, souvenirs?? stickers??? keychains??? all of the above??? anything?? nothing????
I would be bringing at least 3 more people and maybe as many as 8 total, so to me registration would be from $400 to $800, lodging discount would make those numbers look much more attractive, and all those little extras would put a smile on everyone and it just adds to the whole experience.
"5.) What would you like to see different about BOTD this year, than from prior years."
I've never attended a BOTD event but I've been to DGRR and if the experience its anything like this year's DGRR then, I'm there
