Chris, That has crossed my mind more then once, as it would be a lot easier, cheaper and less time consuming if I shut down the sYc/Supercar Registry. I certaintly have plenty of other things to do, such as spending more time with my family and enjoying my cars. But, then I stop and think why did I begin this journey, and why I continue.

The reason? To bring together some of the neatest cars and people (at least in my mind) in the world, Chevy Supercars and their owners. Six years ago, when I first begin the sYc, it was rare to see more then 2-3 of these cars at a show. Now, the SCR averages over 40, the Gibb show will have 15-20, same for the York show. Did we do this by ourselves, of course not, but we have certaintly done our share of begging/coaxing/persuading of owners to get them to share their "special" cars with the public, many times at great expense (to the owner). That is why I was so upset about the remark about Charley's car. Charley had his '69 ZL-1 trailered all the way from CA to IL for SCR5, and even did some burnouts for us. WOW! As per the 2002 ZL-1, Charley went the extra mile to get this car to Collinsville, as it was scheduled to be at a show in Bowling Green, KY. Charley made special arrangements to have the car trailered from there to SCR5, so it could be displayed along side his other ZL-1. On Sunday, Charley even took this brand new supercar to the track for everyone to enjoy. He even went as far as to allow yours truley to drive the car.

Now, with all of this said, comes the problem. Why would any supercar owner be willing to attend an event with their supercar (old or new) such as SCR, knowing that they could suffer the same fate as Charley. Trust me, everyone, just as Mark did, wants to brag about how they beat a Yenko, Zl-1, COPO, whatever. We face this every time we race our Camaro. Like any other owner, supercar owners do not enjoy being bashed.

In closing, the sYc was formed, not to exclude any cars, but rather to include a select few cars, which I labeled as supercars. The cars I grew up dreaming about. So, if your passion is enjoying the same cars as me, and many others supercar enthusiasts, then welcome aboard. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
