Trey I am doing the same thing. I am trying to push the Club. I can go run Borrega, Mojave, Hungry Valley, Red Rock, etc with friends for next to nothing. It is hard to sell THCI with rates like that for events. I know Glen is pushing to change this. You know that the club is changing directions but like turning an aircraft carrier it takes a little time.

I've had numerous talks with Glen and I like the direction he is trying to take the club. He has great ideas for the club, I know it's hard to please everyone. I"m willing to hang in there just to represent all the H3ers that want to wheel with the big boys.

At $300 a couple I would go. I really wanted to go to this event and I know that at $300 per couple if my wife would not go my dad might or a buddy might. I am beginning to think that someone wants to keep this a Millionare's Hummer Club. Makes me start to understand why Jeepers Stereotype us Hummer guys.

Every stereotype has a base in fact but I know a lot of H1 owners that are a long way from Rich...they just love the truck and what it can do and adjust their activities and lives accordingly. I know a lot of H1 owners that do all the wrenching on their rigs because they can't afford to have the Hummer mechanics do it...all for the love of the truck and wheeling it. The last THCI event I went to had 12 H1s. We had a plumber, a male nurse ( 10th Anniv. Edition ) a heavy equipment operator, a welder, etc there as H1 owners. Probably a couple of guys would have fit the stereotype but the vast majority absolutely did not fit it. Stereotypes die hard so it will take time but if you go to many THCI events you will see what I am talking about.

3Hummers I hear ya man. Seeing as how I am new to owning a Hummer (Sept 07) I am still trying to learn more about the club etcc... I have heard this stereotype from other offroaders. And there is no doubt some truths to it. It really makes me sad. I have no doubt that there truly some down to earth everyday people in the club. I just think that there should be more consideration for the everyday individual's budget when planning these events. I understand that the Hummer Club wants everything to be top notch but not everyone can afford "top notch".
For me $250/Head is just absurd. Yeah I an afford to go by myself. But I would want to bring someone with me as well. And I know for a fact my wife is not going to let me spend $250 on her when she really could care less to go. And how do I sell $250 to a buddy when they are really only along for the ride?
If you want to build a club into something and keep these events I would think it would be smart to offer 2 packages.
A regular package that only offers paid dinner and admission.
A premium package that offers t-shrit, breakfast, lunch, dinner
Or Make things alacart. Just a suggestion

I've seen it all. At the last THCI event I was told by a bunch of H1ers that I shouldn't even bothered to show p in my H3. In fact I have a copy of the trail map if anyone wants proof, they event orginizer listed H1 trails (Black), H1 trails (Blue), and H2 trails. No mention of any H3 trails. I met my first billionare there and guess what you wouldn't have known this guy had money. Out of the remaining 8 H1s there only 2 of them would even talk to me or anyone else that had an H3.
Thursday and Friday we had to run the same trail over and over again since it was the only one that the H3 could go on. I had to leave Sat. morning so I didn't get to see what they did that day.
Bottom line is that I still had fun, because it's what you make of it. Would I have drove 12 hours to go there if I knew it was really only H1 event...the answer is no. The Hummer Club, Inc. should have posted that this was only an H1/H2 event or have been more receptive to the H3s.
