All,
Let me try to pour some water on this "fire".
Sometimes I hear from SoCalROC members who ask me when the next meet/run is.
My answer is whenever they want to organize one. We have no president and no
dues, nor do we elect anyone. Sometimes I am referred to as "President", but
no one starts humming "Hail to the chief" whenever I drive up.
Clubs are just ways of sharing common interests. So if a club wants to call
their club skid marks then as long as it means I get to go see cars, go on
drives and have fun then count me in.
I consider Joe Roach a member of SoCalROC. Joe sometimes refers to the
people who live in the San Diego area as members of the San Diego Roadster
Club. I could care less as long as I get to see Joe's beautiful car and have
him come on a run with me. I'll happily become a member of the San Diego
Roadster Club as long as I can drive with them and have a good time.
So be it BADROC, SoCalROC, or even skid marks, it's always about the cars.
Count me in.

What part of BADROC, is not meeting your expectations? I have met various
