  1. I received my 2022 newsletter award but the link from the AACA.org web page at aaca.org/region-award-logos only has the 2021 images. Would someone kindly post the link to the 2021 awards? Roy Ireland Editor, Sandblast Tucson Region
  2. Thanks Phillip! I can understand the delay and appreciate the effort that is going into improvements. However, this is not the first year the link to award logos has been incorrect. Surely, the Congratulations letter is online and could easily be updated each time awards go out when there are changes to the logo locations. Please forgive me if this is too simplistic of an observation.
  3. I received my 2021 newsletter award but the accompanying letter stated the award logos could be found at: www.aaca.org/regionawards. This link is unreachable. The link from the AACA.org web page at aaca.org/region-award-logos only has the 2020 images. Would someone kindly post the correct link to the 2021 awards? Roy Ireland Editor, Sandblast Tucson Region
  4. Any idea when the 2018 logos for Region and Chapter Awards will be available? Roy Ireland Tucson Region
  5. I emailed Steve Moskowitz my question. Here is his reply: We do not take possession until March and then the remodel begins. We are hard at work trying to raise all the funds to make this happen.
  6. Is there any update on the progress of the new headquarters building on Hersheypark Drive? Is there an expected move-in date, or has the move already happened?
  7. Online registration for the 2018 Western Spring Meet in Tucson, AZ is now available at members.aaca.org. Information about the meet and a Schedule of Events can be seen at http://www.tucsonaaca.org/
  8. Photos of the Dual in the Desert II Grand National and Western Spring meets can be found at: fsrau.smugmug.com Thanks to Frank Rau of Pappy's Perspectives for shooting, editing and posting these photos!
  9. As Ron stated above, the 2015 Dual in the Desert II, Western Spring and Grand National Meets will be in Tucson on March 18-21. Meet registration is now available using response cards in the Antique Automobile, as well as online. Visit the Tucson Region website at www.tucsonaaca.org for meet information and host hotel reservation information at Casino del Sol Resort. There is also information about area places of interest to explore while you are in the Tucson Area. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Sunny Tucson in March!
  10. I haven't had as good an experience with the Higherinfogroup Help Desk. Due to a hack into my Joomla editor, I changed my web site program to Weebly. After I notified the Higherinfogroup of the change, it took two weeks for them to update the DNS pointers. We are hosting a National Dual Meet in March of 2015 and our meet ad is already in the July-August issue of Antique Automobile. We needed the website to be back on line as quickly as possible so interested parties could get additional information about the meets. All you get when you send an email to higherinfogroup is an automated message that someone will contact you as soon as possible.Roy Ireland Tucson Region Webmaster
  11. I'm sure most of you already know this because it seems to be an ongoing issue. The link to the 2013 award logos is actually www.aaca.org/region-awards (note the hyphen). It can also be reached through the Regions and Chapters link on the AACA home page.
  12. The letter accompanying the region newsletter and website award certificates contains an incorrect url to the Award logos. The correct address is: www.aaca.org/region-awards
  13. Are there any plans to allow newsletters submitted for evaluation to be sent electronically? This is a trend that many organizations are adopting and with the costs involved with printing and mailing, it makes sense in these economically challenging times. Roy Ireland Editor, Sandblast Tucson Region
  14. This link appears to be broken. Can you update it please? Roy Someone is working on it, Roy! Thanks-Wayne
  15. Bob, I took a look at your Tallahassee Region Website and it looks great to me! I like the layout and photos. The only thing I noticed that might have "demoted" you from Excellence was the absense of contact information for club officers. At least it wasn't obvious to me. And I have seen the same thing happen to the Tucson Region website since 2006. Ours has dropped from Excellence to Merit without any significant changes in content or appearance. The only thing I can think of is that someone doing an online review must have logged on one time before I had a chance to remove some outdated activities. I try to update the site once a week but sometimes that's just not possible. We must also keep in mind that the folks doing the evaluations are also fellow club members and volunteers and I'm sure they only want the best for our websites and newsletters. Roy Ireland Webmaster, Tucson Region
  16. I'm interested in specifically how to password protect a web page. I have recently began to publish our monthly newsletter in .pdf format and place a link on our Region web page. However, some of our board members feel this it is too risky to have this information available to the general cyber-public. It also defeats the purpose of having the newsletter as a benefit of membership if anyone can view it. So, is there a good, easy html remedy for this that anyone would care to pass along? Roy Ireland
  17. Well, as is typical of our Federal Bureaucracy, the EPA has delayed the official enactment of the new Arizona emissions rule until all their red tape has been satisfied. The new effective date is the first of May 2007. A nice summary of all the issues involved with this legislation can be found on the Hagerty Plus web site. See this Hagerty Plus link for more information. Roy Ireland
  18. Good point, Ron. It would be important to make our members aware of this restriction. Roy
  19. The Pima County Board of Supervisors has approved an ordinance that will allow a person to work on their own automobile on their property. The restriction is that repairs must be done within 60 days or the vehicle will have to be screened from neighbors' view. Originally, the county wanted to prohibit ALL personal repair work on private vehicles unless it was out of view (behind a fence or in a garage). This ordinance applies to the greater Tucson area including Marana, Oro Valley and Vail. More information can be found at this link.
  20. I posted this on the General Form also. See this post: Click here Roy Ireland Tucson Region Webmaster
  21. In the Tucson Region, we have recently had a request from a local production assistant for cars of a particular vintage to use in a movie that is going to be shot here in the Tucson area. We were found by web searching and because our Regional website has a Members'Cars page with photos but no contact information (member's first name and city only). The production assistant wants to contact our members to inquire about using their cars. Our response was to identify specifically which cars were needed and we would give the production assistant's contact info to any club members who have cars of that type. We've all heard the horror stories of how antique cars are abused by the movie industry, even with a supposedly iron-clad contract in place. I'm not suggesting that we advertise or promote that our cars are available, but rather have a policy in place for when situations like this arise. I'm thinking of maybe a link on our Members' Cars page that reads: "Click here to inquire about Members' cars". The link would open a form that would request information like type of event, date(s), type/year of car wanted, reimbursement offered, etc. Then, the form would be sent to the Region Membership chair and distributed to any members who have cars of that vintage. The individual member would then choose to respond directly to the inquirer or not. I'd be interested to hear how other clubs and Regions handle this situation. Roy Ireland Tucson Region Webmaster
  22. The bill was approved but after further review by the EPA, it was decided to limit emissions exemption to only "collector" cars. So it's still a win for old car hobbyists, just not quite as big as originally expected. More details can be found here: http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/160644.php Roy Ireland Tucson Region

  24. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Under a law enacted last year, qualified collectible vehicles (at least 15-years old) could be exempted from emissions inspection if approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of Arizona?s state plan for air quality.</div></div> The EPA finally approved the emissions exemption for qualified collectible vehicles that are at least 15 years old. To be eligible, a vehicle must be considered "collectible" and insured with collectible auto insurance agency. This type of insurance usually limits the number of miles a car can be driven each year. So this exemption will not apply to a 15 year old daily driver. For more details on this see this link: http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/160644.php
  25. My mistake. It does come in black only in a caulking-type tube. http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1674&itemType=PRODUCT
