Now this can not be a GOOD sign. If there is No SCW what cool cars are we going to look at? The Reunion will be ALOT thinner. Or maybe the west coast can bring more of the pro touring kind of cars to the show that would be AWESOME. Well no more Vette Fest and NO reunions to go to guess alot of east coast guys and gals will get to save alot of fuel not having to go the the Midwest. This board is going DOWN HILL in a HURRY. But like they say ONE door close's and another door OPENS.

Wasn't meant to be Funny. Seems thats where this show has been heading. Just calling it as i see it, different strokes for different folks. I recall years ago that this show was to be all about Supercars of the Past and maybe some more present. Certainly not Pro touring cars and the Unusual circus cars. Didn't think i had to travel half way cross the country to see what i can go to the local book stand and thumb through the Latest HOT ROD mag and find. Just calling it as i see it. This is just MY OPINION and iam sure there are alot of fine people on this board that want to see this stuff and who am i to Judge.

I agree with Brian, when you go to a venue like the SC Reunion I love to look at just exactly that, "Super Cars." Because they are so rare like the Yenkos, Motions etc... and the old drag cars with race history like the Red Alert, Old Gibb/Harrell race car like Howie's and many others. These are just too cool!! Even more fun watching these cars drag race!!

Where else can you see all of these cars together?? You certainly can't go up to your local cruise nite and see all of these great cars!!

I agree with Tom, hopefully the SCW will be back as a sponsor soon!! Great guys and great restos!!

I joined this site for the lack of protouring stuff, If I see another 69 Camaro with a LS engine in it I will puke, but hey I guess it's the new 32 ford with a tune port... Im stuck in the west coast and thats the majority I see. I think this site is a great place with a huge amount of knowledge and good people, I would like to make it to a reunion but if it was filled with P/T stuff would be disappointing

Brian..I have brought a Pro-Touring car to the Reunion maybe twice ? When I did it was because the car was already in the midwest. I have also brought ZL1,the 67 Pace car, The SuperSnake, a Trans Am convert but you get bugged because I bring a car type you don't like. I have worked my ass off trying to moderate guys like you and figured bringing one of my non Supercars once in awhile wouldn't bother anyone and would be OK. Consider it a job perk if you want. You have seen how many other Pro-Touring cars at the Reunion ? I also ran a rental car down the strip at the reunion so I guess that must have really bugged you also. For those of you reading this that haven't actually been to the reunion, that is about the extent of the Pro-Touring car showings.

I don't know anything about this latest "auto drama"...but, I do know that for me the hobby is all about the people!!! The cars are just an excuse to get together with folks you enjoy spending time with...it's just that simple. I don't care if someone has a COPO or 6 cyl. granny as long as they are genuine and respectful of others.

People first..Cars second!!!

A great Supercar show would consist of good people,plenty of Awesome Supercars & or other great Muscle Cars filling the venue such as other members cars included. This seems to be a great way for all enthusiasts to get together without having the we are better then you so you can never come attitude. Charlie's alway's done good & it's all for fun in my opinion..
