What Terry mentions below...you must be a member of
aMO to put your car on the field. In houston, we changed this with the Board of
Directors whereas you can now get a 'partial membership' of I believe $15 to
'display' or 'show' your car. If you like the experience, you can jon later and
they will pro-rate the rest. Not a bad deal. This covers their ass for insurance
purposes on the showfield.
Some do, some don't, this is why the vehicles in
St. Louis not on the field. In Houston, we had I believe 18 cars that for a
variety of reasons, the people didn't bring in. Some didn't have the money (wha?
You are at a NATIONAL with tons of parts you might never see again and ain't got
no moolah?) others were ashamed their cars were six shades of bondo, others had
cars that leaked like the Gremlin Exxon Valdez. I heard *ALL* the excuses that
day and it is covered in a file somewhere on my website, as some of the excuses
were simply people being cheap bastards, others, I paid out of MY pocket so
they could come and display their car and be part of a experience. Bring your
car if you can.
I can't tell you how many times at a national meet
there is no Hornet AMX. Or Concord AMX. Or Rogue, or Matador wagon, the list is
endless of great cars AMC built that are out there, but don;t pop up. Hell,
there was people who live within walking distance of Kennedy Park in Kenosha for
the 1998 Homecoming event that didn't bring their cars. Think about it. 2 blocks
from the (then?) largest aMC event in history. Yet their concourse car sat in
garage.
