I owe you an apology , Scott . I didn't "keep the faith" but I think you guys at GM will prove me totally wrong in January in Detroit. I know you can't tell me nothing but it sure is hard to wait ......

For what it's worth....I've been begging all Camaro Clubs to welcome Firebird owners.....it simply makes great sense. I do believe there's concern as to the amount of additional work it would cause if it's a judged show...but my response to that is "welcome them anyway....and have a show and shine field!"
With my limited time available to travel to Fcar events, I've made it clear that I can only support Camaro/Firebird events.........not just "Camaro" events.

oh ye of little faith!
Remember this: When I tell you something, I have to face you later. If I lie to you, you will have no faith in anything I say. I understand your frustration...and you have no idea of the frustration I PERSONALLY have because of YOUR Frustration!

the other thing that has worked for us is being open to everyone. we don't require ownership of an f-body to be a member. our policy is that we are open to all "owners, friends, and fans" of the platform.
in a little over a year(went public august 10, 2004) and now we are over 660 members and have many successful club events under our belt.
being open to both marks and to anyone with any interest in the f-body(including younger kids) is what keeps the history and passion for these cars alive. [/soap box]

phoenix and NJSPDER, you two obviously haven' t heard of S.T.A.R.S. (Southern Trans Am Regionals). It takes place in Florida, but I' m not sure when, and to my knowledge only open to Ponchos.

there will always be events that are specific to one mark or trim level of the cars.
what i worry about are the elitist(sp?) clubs that you must own a specific car to even talk to any of them, and even then only after you pay a required membership fee.
the more open to automotive enthusiasts in general a club or event is the more likely it is to grow and hold everyones attention in the future.

Trans Am Nationals in Dayton, OH in August. Usually 550-600 Firebirds, GTAs, Firehawks, Formulas and, of course, Trans Ams. Any Birds is welcome. I posted some pics in another thread is this forum. (Other Special Events.) If you own a Bird, it is a GREAT show.
