We had the good fortune of connecting with Eli Hall and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Eli, what do you want people to remember about you?
I value the connections and relationships formed through my automotive events, my legacy could be one of a community builder who created spaces for people to come together, bond, and form lasting friendships through their shared passion for cars, it would be a wonderful sentiment to be remembered for.
What should our readers know about your business?
I started a company named MNM, aka Monday Night Madness, I started with doing some research within our local car community. With a little to no money and lots dedication I started hosting small organized car meets, as more people started to attend I finally started to look for a permitted venue to host more upscale events with more entertainment aspects than just cars to look at.
Once we found a decent sized venue I started to promote very heavily on instagram with features of hosting a rev battle competition and live performances, all on a Monday Night, after hosting these events bi-weekly the community started to fall in love with our passion for the community. The Monday night Madness events went on for about a year attracting around 1000 people per event until we finally grew out of the venue leaving us nowhere to host our events. Between then and now we ended up collaborating with other organizations to bring our following around to a whole new style of automotive events, we are now hosting events at Texas Motor Speedway featuring Drag Racing, Drifting, Ride Alongs, Drift Lessons, Show Car Competitions, Rev Battles, and live performances of many talents.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my friend was visiting Dallas I would bring him to automotive events here in Dallas, there’s many to note but the community and cars in Dallas are extremely enjoyable to be apart of, we’d definitely hit some sushi spots and downtown and kickback with some friends.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My father instilled in me the enduring values of resilience and hard work, teaching me that with unwavering determination, I can overcome any challenge and achieve whatever I set my mind to. As a young entrepreneur I have developed many relationships with very high profiles and professionals in the Industry to help me get to where my goals are set, these relationships I hold value to and couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunities.
