Ron,

All that happened at Carlisle was Carlisle's fault...........you have no idea of all the issues that they caused behind the scenes. It's not easy doing what had to be done and at 59 years old, it's the last thing that I want to do. But, I will support the ACA and the Camaro Nationals as long as I am healthy to do so. This event needs to be there for all who are serious about restoring these cars correctly........and the good old Camaro enthusiast! All of our staff with be there. These are people you can depend on........and if Carlisle does not want to work with us, then that's the way it will be. We will move on!

Here's a couple of examples for you. Did you know that owners were paid to bring cars in the garage outside the fairgrounds??? People like myself and Larry Christensen own some of the rarest cars known to the hobby. We don't charge anything to bring our cars there. I brought out my 1967 Z28 NHRA National recording holding Z28 for all to see. "THE YENKO EATER." It's the fastest NHRA stock eliminator 302 Z28 in the world......and restored like a show car! I am glad to bring it for all to see. FREE! Larry Christensen has brough THE 1969 Indy pace that paced the race.........does it all for free. But yet others are being paid to bring in cars......and cars that don't rise to the pedigree of what our organization brings to the table. Ken Lucas, Larry Christensen and Bob Harris restore the nicest Camaros in the world.........and they are at the ACA Camaro Nats for all to see. I'm only touching the tip of the iceberg. You have no idea on the issues that go on behind closed doors............
