Normally I would post this is the Events section, but I wanted everyone to see this and get their input.
Their used to be 2 main Xterra or Nissan Off-Road events in the country, but after their 3rd year, NXM is now the 3rd major contender for attention in the U.S., along with GONE Moab & ECXC.
ECXC is the longest running Nissan Xterra event in the country, but has been far from the strongest for quite a few years now. After seeing the success at NXM 3 a few weekends ago I was left wondering why ECXC has waned as of late. I always have a great time at ECXC, and this past year was no exception, but I always feel in the back of my mind that it could be better.
NXM drew over 70 Xterras the last day of their event, a task that ECXC used to do year after year consistently. ECXC has grown a bit stale, with less excitement and an on again off again challenge that always leaves everyone confused.
I want to see ECXC return triumphantly as the premiere Xterra event in the country. There is no reason that ECXC can not return to it's former glory with a little extra planning, thought, and effort.
I know NeXterra is running ECXC now and I think that is a great thing! I want to get the ball rolling with ideas for making 2014 an excellent ECXC that draws a lot of new attendees and encourages past attendees to return for wheeling, fun, friends, and maybe even some knowledge they didn't have before.
A lot of this starts with sponsors. And, no, I am not just talking about a great raffle or free swag for everyone, but sponsors that can help the logistics of the event and generate publicity as well as contribute to our community through new products, demos, or maintenance.
So, in a paraphrase of John F. Kennedy, I ask not what ECXC can do for you, but what can you do for ECXC?
Who is with? Who wants to get moving and approach this year's ECXC with a new vigor? I know I do!
