We need to recognize deserving people and prize donors should get something in return, however, is doing this exclusively on stage, live, at the end of the rally, the only option?
How about utilizing a small amount of time on the main stage each night? Or, utilize this web forum and our high quality ON magazine. These two mediums would reach even more than the 6000 or so at the closing ceremony. Just a thought...
...It reminds me why I have never gone to any motorcycle rally, BMW or otherwise, and why I never will.
It reminds me why I have not gone to Sturgis for the rally and never will.
You could put the gun to my head and say "you are going to Sturgis for the rally" and I would not be there.
Here in Los Angeles they use the term cattle. As in cattle call. Or cattle boat.

I don't think you can reach anyone unless they want to be reached. And I'm usually one of those people who doesn't want to be reached. Unless I want to be reached.
I'm glad to see this thread.
And I'd like to see it keep going.

It ain't hard at all. It's rather delightful, actually. Part of it is known as peace and quiet.
Some guys like to wander off and live in isolation in the mountains, like an old man. I'm seriously looking at that type of thing myself.
One does not have to spend much time in Los Angeles til it becomes pure delight to go to the mountains, or the desert, and wake up in the morning, and look out and see, for miles, nothing but nature. No humans whatsoever. At one with nature.
Then reality sets in.

I feel that while the vendors who supply the prizes are certainly entiltled to their stage time the whole "must be present to win" scenario needs to be dumped.
If you don't need to be present to win the Grand Prize then why change the ground rules for the remainder. Please consider the hard-working volunteers out there who are excluded from winning under this strange rule, simply because they are busy volunteering somewhere else on site to provide the masses with First Aid cover, Security, BEER !!!! etc.
If the prize donors insist that the winner be present then a proxy should be allowed to claim any prize won by a volunteer who is working at that time.
The positioning of an easily-accessible and "highly visible "Go to" person at the front of the grandstand would also alleviate a lot of problems. All they would need would be a big sign saying "Claim your prize here" coupled with radio communication with those on stage to inform them that the winner was indeed present, instead of having to wait while some poor soul has to walk 1/4 mile around a chain link fence to get to the stage, perhaps to be told "Oh! You're too late, we didn't think you were here so redrew the ticket!!!!"
It's not "all about the prizes" but I feel anyone who makes the effort to attend the event should have an equal chance at reaping the rewards.
Hopefully someone with a bit of influence will read this and at least consider it as an option next time round.

I made my opinion know. You can't fix problems if you don't know they exist and a polite approach is always more accepted than just ranting and raving.
Look forward to catching up with you next time.

I might make a donation to place the person who made the decision to bring the flame cars to the rally in a dunking booth filled with ice water.
That had to be surpassed by the person who then decided to have the cars make repeated runs despite the disapproval of the audience.
