Hey, passionate is good! It's what drives all
these clubs, races, etc...
Personally, I'm having a
difficult time believing someone would actually desecrate
and devalue(!!!) such a unique Dekon...especially it
having all these unique features. Very sad indeed. Naive
question though...if these cars are participating in a
'vintage race', don't the rules state the vehicles must
remain in an 'original' condition? This was why i
originally was wondering if this particular one was a fake
or the real thing....as i hadn't seen it on your
site.
If Mr Malone ever does visit the nearest track to
me(Daytona,~1.5 hrs N of here), i'll smack him silly for
ya<just kidding!>
BTW, my initial impression of its
'soft' front end does seem to have been a byproduct of
sensory overload ; )
re taking a lap or two in your
GT1, hey! i don't care where i sit....just strap me in
anywhere, and hang on! woohoo! : )
re formalizing
club, i'm all for it. The only immediate hurdles i see
are the logistics. Hopefully we could also get some
pointers/model from the established ones like CVOA/HO7
Registry?I was kind of hoping though that we could all join
in(_ALL_ the hbodies) as one big group and pool our
collective resources, instead of further fragmentation(ie,
i've lost count just how many yahoo hbody clubs there
are!) Unfortunately(or fortunately, whichever way you
look at it), these cars are just not as numerous as
camaro/mustangs/corvettes. It just seems to me a waste of resources and
potential if we do otherwise. And yes, i still think each
individual model/nameplate could still enjoy its own
distinctiveness. A formal national/international club could only
help us _all_ in trying to keep these machines alive
and well...especially convincing manufacturers to
bring back some of those hard-to-find parts!
Sorry
to ramble so long...
