Things You'll Need:
- *List of your neighbors
- *List of the NASCAR drivers
- *Permit
- *Large area
-
Step 1
Hold a neighborhood meeting to make arrangements. Complete the necessary paperwork for any permits required by the city. Or make a reservation with the Parks Department, if the party will take place at a local park. Decide who will be in charge of decorations and entertainment.
-
Step 2
Consider having everyone contribute five to ten dollars toward trash bags and other expenses.
-
Step 3
Get a current list of NASCAR drivers. Put the names in a bowl and have each person draw a name from the bowl. This will eliminate fighting over who is assigned to which driver. Each house will be responsible for bringing an item to promote his driver.
-
Step 4
Decide on the food. Have each person draw a slip of paper with entree, salad, dessert, and beverage written on the paper. Have each household draw from the hat to choose the foods they will need to bring.
-
Step 5
Have each family wear the selected driver's colors or bring something from their drivers' sponsor. Color it up.
-
Step 6
Choose a time that corresponds with one of the races. The Saturday night races are becoming very popular and is the perfect time for a NASCAR block party. If the party is held at someone's house, a big screen tv can be set up in the garage so that everyone outside can see it. If that isn't an option, you can always set up a stereo so that everyone will at least be able to hear the race.
-
Step 7
Delegate cleaning duties. Again, have someone from each household choose a chore, such as picking up trash or sweeping the pavement.
-
Step 8
Depending on whether the people in your neighborhood like to gamble or not, you can always set up a racing pool. Check your city and state's regulations on gambling, you don't want to violate any ordinances.
-
Step 9
Decide whether or not you want to have alcohol. It is a NASCAR party and some people will want beer. You will have to check city regulations concerning alcoholic beverages. This will be a very important detail if you choose to have the party at a public park. You may also need a permit.
