Also while showing off the cars the racers could hand out discount coupons. This would get the cars and racers in front off the public. And with their commercials promote these car shows.

Thats a great Idea Jeff
A few things though. What day leading up to the event would you be there? More time off from work? Is there enough room in the parking lot? What is in it for the shopping mall? The biggest problem is that this is all nostalgia stuff to most. Its all old news.
But its worth a try. I also think that social media works for a lot of things. Why not this?
