Re: RE: [Chrysler300] Fw: past and future meets

[lfuller@xxxx]

having attended 2 meets organised by each of the 2 clubs,(4 in total) I cansay that there are a whole bunch of nice people in both clubs, whose friendship I value. I have not been a member of either club long enough to appreciate the differences, but can understand there are likely some real issues. bottom line is we all appreciate these cars, letter or otherwise, & beinga long way north in this continent, I really appreciate the opportunity tomeet with others who drive these vehicles to the various meets & exchange knowledge & experience wit h them. Whatever the background, I would hope hope that we could"bury whatever hatchect there is"if there were members in both clubs in the vicinity willing to bring their cars to EITHER of the club's meets. I know there are a significant # of members who are registered with both clubs. the world is too small for petty differences. I do appreciate our club's adherence to detail, as it is very constructive input for restoration of my c
ars. I do not aspire to a couple of perfect trailer queens, as that is not my objective,but if I am going to do a reasonably good restoration, I REALLY appreciate being able to draw on the vast experience that this club offers to do an appropriate job. A lot of that comes from the concours judging standards. After attending the Ohio meet, I have many excellent reference photos to work from. In addition, I now know a bit more about drag racing, so will be better prepared to beat john hertog next time we meet @ the line.Lighten up guys!
