What you descriped is very much like what we did here last Sept, and are doing again in May. (except I don't have 42000 acres
) We did tune ups for free, and general maintenance, but if someone wants Maz, Scott, Haydug, or any of the other top notch techs to install a 450 kit or new crank, I certainly would expect them to get paid for it. I fully expect dealers and riders to be selling and swapping parts, and any work that gets done is between the tech and the owner.I wouldn't really call it competition, but the more events that occur, the less attendance we will have at each of them. There are guys coming here from all over, many of them traveling 1000 miles or more (Eurogods coming from Netherlands). We are expecting 50+ Cannondales, and who knows how many other brands will be here.
If there where multiple events in different areas I'm sure they would all be a great time, but we wouldn't have such a mass gathering at any of them.
Your in no way infringing on our event, as I doubt any west coast owners where planning to drive all the way across the country. But I'm sure there are folks in your neck of the woods that may have attended the ATK event, who will now attend yours instead.
It's all good, as any excuse to ride, especially with other Cannondales, is great.
