  4. Dave Fields & Dave@Moon: I deleted your posts as they drifted totally off the topic which is no surprise to the Moderating team. Easier to delete now than after a few days of collecting all sorts of non-thread topic discussion. Should you have any questions please send me a PM so as not to ruin the thread topic...Thank you in advance. Peter J.
  5. True about polls, Bob. My point is until someone phones/e-mails/writes to any target entity and receives an official reponse to a complaint these complaint threads seldom are resolved here. They remain a venting avenue with no closure. What I have done over the years on this forum is simply send an e-mail to "XYZ Club" or "XYZ Company", inform them there are questions or complaints being aired out on the AACA Forum, give them a fair chance to respond, and, then we hear from the horses (dogs) mouth. Personally I respect the opinions of those who do not like dogs on showfields. I never really worried about it myself, but, it is obviously a concern by some who posted here. Regards, Peter J.
  6. Bob, Though the respondents on this Forum (all threads) appear to be an overwhelming number I must remind myself that we Forum regulars are in actuality a minority. A huge percentage of AACA Members that frequent our National Meets do not care to even come on line let alone participate in our discussions. This includes Region/Chapter Officers so to get any messages across should be directed to the proper decision makers. Over the years I have seen so many thread topics of complaint or in search of an official answer fully cognizant that they are <span style="font-weight: bold">not</span> going to receive a response or resolution on this Forum...just a lot of opinions with no closure. As a matter of fact the majority of regulars on this AACA Forum are not even members of our great club. This includes all of the Marque (Guest) Forums. I suppose it is a case of perception is not necessarily reality syndrom. Just my 2-cents, Peter J.
  7. alida...Welcome to the AACA Forum!
  8. Guy in the background (about 10 o'clock) looks like Link from the '70's Mod Squad series...(sorry)
  9. Quote you reference is from Shop Rat's post.
  10. Good point, Susan. That was the AGNM held in May of <span style="font-weight: bold">2006</span>...
  11. Charlie, You are correct 2012 is 3 years away. There is a process in place and procedures to follow. In short the location of the 2012 AGNM will be announced in <span style="font-style: italic">Antique Automobile </span>with plenty of time for you to make arrangements. In the interim enjoy the current meets.
  12. I understand that some tracks have "old, historic race cars" on display. (Now the thread is "Old vehicle related".)
  13. Hi, Charlie. I was helping out at the "AACA Family/Membership" Booth most of the day. My TR6 is on loan to the Museum for the summer so just stop by the booth at meets and buy some more Prowler tickets while you are there... Regards, Peter J.
  14. "Thank you Pat and Lynn at Headquarters and the entire Judging Administration team for the quick turnaround in posting results from our National Meets. What took days or weeks in the past now is done at lightning speed." This is a quote from a great friend when describing just what dedicated employees, volunteers, and Regions/Chapters do for the greatest historical automotive club...The AACA. Thank you to all... Peter J.
  15. Brian, You could phone National Headquarters for assistance: 717-534-1910 (<span style="font-style: italic">Antique Automobile</span> is a bi-monthly publication) Peter J.
  16. You are quite welcome, Bob. I had a Library meeting there today and I can assure you it is a very nice place. Will be there on Saturday working the AACA Membership and Museum booth. Stop by and say hello... Peter.
