I recall showing up at a convention in MA with my 69 Firebird. The dude at the gate immediatley commented that my wheels were not correct (because I couldn't afford RallyII's at the time). Otherwise, my Firebird was beautiful (in my opinion). I was then sent to the back of the hotel where my Firebird could spend some quality time with the dumpsters and cooks on cigarette breaks. Never again.

I've seen this first hand with a few shows around here. Then to top it all off, the clubs wonder why no one new is signing up.

Where in New England are you? There are some nice family type shows here on the MA/NH seacoast.

I was the chair of that show in 1987 and 1998. I feel as that I owe you an apology for the way that you were treated. Was it someone in Tech Inspection who made the comment about your wheels and as a result of that, were you mis-classed?

We were VERY short of space due to a problem with the front grass area which was promised to us in writing but there was a legal battle ongoing so we were not able to use it, which caused a major problem for everyone.

As I stated earlier the old school officers are and will let the POCI die a slow death over their own position and interests.
