An Announcement

[bashton]

Thanks to all of you for your support. I will truly miss being a part of the CVF,(and the AutoRama and World of Wheels shows too), as you all know, it was "my baby".

Championship Auto Shows, Inc. is owned by Pete Toundas and Bob Larivee, Jr. The office number is (248) 373-1700.

WTF!

That was a total Bonehead move on their part, on many levels. You just can't replace what Bob brings to the table!

I don't think disclosing this will be an issue, at this point, but our contract as title Sponsors of the Chevy Vette Fest specifically included Mr. Bob Ashton's employment. I guess that speaks volumes regarding their thoughts about the 7 events we have sponsored since Bob took over?

Bob, I am truly disturbed to hear this.

You represented that show and organization as if it were your own. It is not likely they could find another car guy with your enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism. I am sure a man of your qualifications has much to offer many quality organizations.

Good Luck- Chris

Though not in writing, I do not think it is any secret that the reason for the sYc's heavy involvement in CFV was because of Bob and Vicki. For the past several years, between Nickey and the sYc, usually 50-60 member cars, and this past Fall, I would guess close to 100 member cars there, with the qaulity second to none. Why rock the boat?


Looking at their site/schedule, appears CVF is a thing of past, with their focus on World of Wheels shows.

Bob, Thanks for arranging the "Twins" for the 409 display! Priceless!!!! Never had so much fun. Chris P.

I have been on the Phone with many Key people involved with Supporting the Chevy Vette Fest. Some for the past 27 years.

No one I have communicated with has been Ok with this decision.

While the sYc had a Great Showing of over 100, of the finest and Most significant Chevys, we also had thousands of friends and Members show up and pay the gate as well as support the Vendors!
