The Old Guy Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 In our area ,the only game in town was AACA back in the 60s. It was a good organization and had a fairly large membership. We now have a BCA chapter,Chevy club, and numerous "cruising" groups. The AACA chapter has been taken over by a small group that runs it for themselves. They have even rejected applicants for membership because thay do not fit their criteria. It is a shame that this has happened ,but unless the National AACA steps in this region will always be a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dspence Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I'm 34, and a life member of the AACA. I have my grandfather's only brand new car, a 1933 Buick Model 57. I love the car, and I like learning through the AACA meets, and the 'old' guys, etc. My job takes me on travel regularly. Lately I have been spending quite a bit of time out of the country and have not had the chance to get registered for Hershey. I got 2nd junior last year, and have been working on the car in the few days I have at home to try to get it better for this year. I called the AACA today, only to find that I have missed the deadline to register. I am really upset and disappointed. This is not fun to me.

Guest Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 In reffering to "old" people please remember that old age is a state of mind not a function of years. One of the regions of which I am a member just completed a 9 day tour with 25 cars on it. Many of the tourists were in their 70s with a few in their 80s. Three were in wheelchairs and others have various infirmities. Their enthusiam is an inspiration to me and others. The other region of which I am a member sounds like what has been described above. Its difficult to get things done. I tried getting the younger members involved but with family obligations and such their time is somewhat limited. This is a small group with about 30 members.

novaman Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Father Ron and Peter, is there some way we could post on the AACA website a reminder as to when the registration deadlines are for each event? It might not have helped in this case but it might be a good reminder for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
