Would you consider becoming a sponsor of downstate Illinois’ largest All-British Car Show?

We invite you to support our event and become one of CBCF’s valued sponsors. You can sign-up online or download our Sponsorship Form and a Sponsorship Level Details chart below.  I’m confident that we can provide the level of community exposure and awareness that your business deserves. 

You can learn more and become a sponsor on-line at https://iflbcc.club/become-a-sponsor/

If a monetary sponsorship is not feasible, we also have a need for promotional items and giveaways that would promote your business and enhance our participant’s enjoyment. I suggest items like gift certificates, pens, flashlights, coupons etc.  These promotional items help drive traffic to your business long after the event has ended.

What makes this game better than a standard 5-card poker run?  It’s that NOBODY has a clue if they have a good hand or a bad hand until they return from the drive.

To play, you have to attend the Driver’s Meeting at the Double Tree Conference Center’s parking lot on Saturday morning, June 4, 2022 and receive up your 2022 CBCF Poker Chip Run Instructions   

Your 1^st Draw will be at the Double Tree Conference Center’s parking lot before you leave for the Morning Run.  The chips are divided into equal numbers in an opaque bag so you can’t see which color you’re getting.  

There will be four more chances to draw poker chips throughout the day.  At each stop, or designated chip draw point of interest, you will draw out 1 chip

At Saturday’s English Pub Night, we will stage a public drawing, where one chip of each color will be blindly drawn to determine value.  The first chip drawn is worth 20 points, the second chip is worth 10 points and the third chip worth 5 points. 

The beauty of this is that because the value of the chips isn’t established until AFTER the ride concludes, no one will know how their values measure up. Prizes will be awarded for the Top 5 scoring “Hands”

In 2021 the US was just coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Champagne British Car Festival was READY to welcome British car owners from throughout the mid-west.

CBCF 2021 was a “NO” Event – No registration, no fees, no awards, no classes, no voting, etc. etc. You’ll notice in the video that cars could group in traditional classes or in more informal groupings.

It was all about the CELEBRATION of our love of British cars and sharing them with others.

We hope to see you in 2022 http://www.CBCF-Bloomington.com
