The Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees addressed key logistical challenges for the upcoming summer car show during their regular meeting on May 28, 2025. Didi Stump, representing the event, clarified misconceptions regarding participant fees, stating that the charge is only $50 for both drag races and autocross events, contrary to earlier assumptions of $1,000.

Stump highlighted a scheduling conflict with a competing car show in Douglas, which is set for the same weekend. This overlap has raised concerns about participant turnout, as many racers are likely to attend the more established Douglas event. To mitigate this issue, Stump proposed potentially swapping the days for the autocross and drag races, suggesting that racers could participate in the autocross on Friday and then head to Douglas for drag races on Saturday.

The board discussed the implications of this change, noting that student groups planned to fundraise during the event, which necessitated timely communication about any schedule adjustments. Stump assured the board that insurance coverage would remain intact regardless of the day changes.

While the exact number of participants remains uncertain, Stump indicated that they have the capacity to accommodate up to 500 racers. The board expressed support for the proposed schedule change, emphasizing the importance of collaboration to ensure a successful event.

As the planning progresses, the board and event organizers will continue to communicate closely to finalize details and maximize participation, ensuring that the car show can thrive in its inaugural year.
