i think 250 per vehicle and 100 per passenger would be good...  after all they are gonna supply food everyday

oh and they should pro-rate it if you can't be there everyday

yup

Yeah what is up with $250 a person.  That is an outrage.  If these are supposed to be family events they mus expect that all Hummer owners are loaded.  Im sorry but my son is 8 and would be EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED if he knew that I went to a hummer event without him.  ME+WIFE+KID=$750  Total BS!!!!  Shame on you Hummer Club.  Not to mention the $500 im going to spend on gas.  I am beginning to wonder why I even joined.  [:@][:@]

Damn, and I was worried about the cost of this past weekend? Sorry guys, guess I will see you at the next Hummerforums unofficial event. $500 JUST to get in the gate? Sorry.

I talked with Camou2 who is on THCI Board. He was going to find out why so much, there is talk that he will change the price to $300 per couple/truck.  They are providing breakfast(comes with the Hotel room), lunch and diner Thursday thru Sunday morning.  So you just need to pay for fuel and drinks.
Don't register just yet until I let you know.

If you are single, than I'm assuming it's $150 ???? If it's any more than that, I can't justify the cost. It's a little to steep, especially when you are driving a long way!

Muddydawg75 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (5/31/2008 8:13:26 AM)

I'm out....  I'm already a member there and it's just crazy to pay that price for something I could go up on my own and pay $5 for my passenger... or ride shotgun and pay $5 for myself...

I still have reservations for the hotel so if any of you folks go I might still drive up there and wheel with another truck...

HARDxCOR3 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (5/31/2008 8:49:19 AM)

yeah after you think about it 250 is way too much. 150 is more like it or even 125 like they're charging in west va

well i'm down to go w/o thci

Trey124 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (5/31/2008 10:56:47 AM)

I talked with Glen and it's staying at $250 per person!  The club is paying for breakfast, lunch and diner plus entertainment for Friday and Saturday nights.  Also, instead of a T-shirt your getting a real shirt.  So after you put out the intial money all you have to pay for is hotel and fuel.
I'm still thinking about it, only because I go to the East Coast events and it's nice to catch up with the other guys that I met at the other events.

You get a lot for it but that is pretty high. In this economy I can see that being too steep for a lot of people.

Muddydawg75 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (5/31/2008 5:14:39 PM)

uhhh.... I think I'll stick to my $5 weekends there.... and I'll save my $500 for the next TWO years worth of season passes...

I think this is still a bad call... but I'll back out of the entire thing and not stir the pot.  I apparently was wrong about the direction of the club and in all honesty I doubt I will renew my membership or participate in any events this year...  it's much easier and I can spend the extra cash to just do local events with friends.

HummerKid82 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (5/31/2008 7:12:28 PM)

Well, I don't feel so bad that I can't go now. I would have to get a loan for that. I plan on going to the Badlands event in September. I'll be home on leave and it's like 1 1/2 hours from my parents.

3hummers -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (5/31/2008 11:09:01 PM)

Muddy I agree. That is entirely to steep a price for an event.

Camou2 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (6/1/2008 6:31:09 AM)

I am listening to your input and hear you loud and clear.  As I explained to Trey I had a discussion with one of the Board members about the cost when it was posted on the web site.  I also called the event coordinator and discussed cost of the event.  I will have more discussions and post something Monday night.  Muddy, it is not the right direction.  We have these events because they are a blast, you are with people you enjoy being around, you meet new freinds who have a common love for the HUMMER and you get to challenge these awesome trucks.

Muddydawg75 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (6/1/2008 9:10:15 AM)

I'm not coming down on you in any way Glen... I know you are at the events and you are also with the member at the lowest level having a blast... at events like Trey and I's memorial day event... I don't want you to think for one second that I put any of the blame on you...  but you are also a very intelligent person... so when you (THCI) look back and wonder why participation is down you will also have our words in your head...  or maybe little guys like me won't be missed at all...  maybe what people have been saying about THCI all along have been correct...  I'm talking about the rich assholes standing around measuring their ****s stigma that the club has...  I dunno...  but I do know one thing... trying to get an extra $250 out of me has resulted in a net loss of $565...

Trey124 -> RE: June 26th-29th THCI trip at Rausch Creek (6/1/2008 12:05:28 PM)

I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle.  I'm trying to promote The Hummer Club, Inc. but they are making it difficult.  Glen knows that I drove up to NYC to meet with those guys and talk about the club.  With our event I think we had a good turnout sure it cost us some money out of pocket but was it worth it...YES.
After my eye opening trip to Kinzalow's it just keeps confirming what Muddy says that this is still an rich man's club all trying to prove who has the biggest you know what.
Now the club has raised it's yearly membership rate when I know for a fact that the club cut it's insurance policy in half!  Just keeps making me look and sound foolish.
It's a shame that the people who have good intentions get overlooked.  If I was running the club I would make sure the costs where reasonable so that you could have more members attend not drive them away.
This is the only THCI NorthEast event for the year and I know for a fact that what they are charging is going to keep everyone that attended our event there away.  So that's 6 Hummers that would have gone if they charged less.  I don't see how that is going to help grow the club.
Maybe we need to wait until all the H1ers can't find parts for their trucks and than rejoin the club.
