[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Is anyone going to the Amo event in ohio this year?

["scott" <cs10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The first time I went to the dublin Ohio AMC meet I figured my 71 x 
would not do well in the show class. Well these events are not like 
big three events. They are understanding and very supportive. Last 
year I put it in the judged class and even with my primer and faded 
dash I took home a bronze in 1970-1988 amc modified. It made it all 
worth it. Give it a chance don't go expecting a award, have fun and 
enjoy the other AMC people that we never get to talk to. One thing I 
love at Amc events is I finaly feel like im not alone.
