A Proposed Convention Idea with "Ponyville Derby" as the theme

[twilightsparkle3562 145]

So, I was watching the episode "The Cart Before the Ponies" and I got a really good idea for a possible Brony convention in the near future.  The convention would be themed around the Ponyville Derby and would be held in either Indianapolis, IN or Charlotte, NC, two cities that are home to both Indy Car and NASCAR, respectively.  What do you think?

Hard to give an opinion without more details.  How would this work, exactly?

Well, the convention could have its own "Ponyville Derby" during the con and the winner would get a prize of some sorts (something signed by special guests, community guests, etc.).  The cars used would be perhaps remote controlled cars decorated in Pony style.  Perhaps even invite either NASCAR or Indy Car drivers who are fans of MLP as special guests.

I like the RC cars and themed paint jobs, but having actual race drivers participate would probably get stalled.  Given they're public figures in a rather manly-man sport, even if some of them were MLP fans, it's unlikely they would attend.  After all, "image is everything" when it comes to celebrities.
