It's AMO's leadership and members that have earned the right to decide for themelves what can and can't be shown. I don't think the club should 'have to' grant equal status to cars that are not equal. If they allow them to be shown at all, kudos for the flexibility. If they don't, I'm fine with that, too. But a clear separation of 'AMC-powered' and 'Non-AMC- powered' should be maintained, just as 'stock' and 'customized' should be maintained.
I'm fine with AMO doing what it sees as required. They'll never please everyone. AMO meets are fun for me in any case.
I would really like it if everyone and everything agreed with me and was to my liking, but so far, that hasn't worked out!
