Guys,
You may be overlooking an obvious source of support and assistance, and that
is the Austin-Healey Club of America. You want insurance? Experience in
staging large car meetings? A desire to make the 50th anniversary of the
Sprite/Spridget a really special event? Well then look no further than the
AHCA.
You can rant about past perceived slights and injustices, or you can ask for
their support and assistance, assistance which I believe will be readily
forthcoming. Sarcasm will get you nowhere. Cheap shots don't organize,
insure or coordinate car meets.
There's just really no downside. The 2008 Conclave is slated for San Diego,
and I understand that the Sprite is to be the featured car there. That
could be the west coast celebration. Duplication of effort and the
concomitant waste of resources just doesn't make any sense.
Look, I know how some of you feel. I own a Porsche 914, and it is not
exactly the most-admired car at any given Porsche club event (despite the
fact that it still kicks butt in the corners at track days). But as I say,
reliving and reviewing past perceived slights will gain us exactly NOTHING.
Taking advantage of the resources and experience of the AHCA WILL.
Your call. Good luck.
Cheers,
Reid
