i'm not happy i spent $500 on the car the day before i get the rejection letter to fix up some things on it, otherwise I would have let slide, because I don't care if the car isn't 100% show worthy except for this.

I'm not happy.

I'm resisting calling them because I will say some things I'll regret later.

They said we turned in all of our apps in too late. Also, the club competition got cut down to 3 with only 5 vehicles per group, as well as 3 other groups didn't make the cut as well. I'd like to know who else got rejected.

They said we turned in our apps too late - what a bunch of BS!

They're just denying all the newer cars cuz they want the show to be all older cars again.
And if they were planning on cutting the club competition down to 3 clubs, they couldn't tell me that a week ago??

Very poorly run operation, I hope the show fails.

I found a gto Forum that the club was rejected.And another camaro club that was rejected.I spoke with Harry Willitte and was told that "you yound punks dont have anything that anyone wants to see in his shows anyhow" I have over $50,000.00 grand in my car and all i do is show it. It has been invited to SEMA but its not good enough for world of wheels? Like I said the ISCA is not very happy about this,I want to try to push this over the edge.
