Default Re: Camaros @ Carlisle no more!!

I happened to like the GM Nationals at Carlisle. To me being a Camaro lover it was more like the Camaro Nationals than anything else. I would have liked to see other models and GM brands participate. Possibly Carlisle didn't do enough to encourage the others brands, or other reasons.

I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for the ACA to move the venue, and my hope is that the finger pointing by others stops.

The above posts premise <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Did you know that owners were paid to bring cars in the garage outside the fairgrounds???&quot; </span>is absolutely patently false. The Solid Lifter Showroom ( garage outside fairgrounds), organizers and participants were not paid to bring cars period.

Now there may be valid reasons for the split but lets not rush to judgement. In addition, at this point a decision has been made to split, and point of the above post is??? Anyway both the ACA and Carlisle has been very good to our hobby. I don't have a dog in this fight, but want to set the record straight on that point.

Who knows maybe something can be worked out that is a win, win for both the Camaro Nationals and Carlisle. Making this a pissing contest leads to know where.

The Vintage Certification team has been part of the concours judging team at the Camaro National since day one. In fact we were the first to judge in the Y building back in 1999 and we are disappointed.
