Re: [Amc-list] WAS: AMC six specs, NOW inliners

Frank I am pleased that you are posting to the
inliners.org.  Maybe you'll shine some light into the
darkness of that group.  My experience with members
(including senior members of that group) at Bonneville
has been that they are totally GM (chevy especially)
guys.  The car I have crewed on the last three years
has a Buick straight 8 in a vintage class.  We always
get an invitation to their barbecue (partly I think
because the car holds the record in its class).  They
don't really seem interested in the technology in the
car even thought it is GM (originally, though highly
modified). 

When I mention in conversation that I'm in to AMCs I
just get a blank stare from the otherwise gregarious
guy who issues the invitation every year.  

Most of those guys eat and sleep chevies and GMCs and
dont' know or care that AMC ever existed.  After all
Nash just made R_a_m_b_l_e_r_s.  There ARE many guys
at Bonneville who are open minded will look for ways
to go faster no matter who made the technology, but
the inliners organization generally does not count
many of those guys among its members.  

I have nothing against GM it's just that the inliners
organization should probably be named Chevy/GMC Sixes
or something of the sort.
