>From my distant vantage point, this sounds exactly like what happened when the
Chicago Historics was taken over by Road America, who then stumbled with it.
They in turn passed it on to another respectable group to create BRIC, and it
seems to be prospering.
Sounds like it's not a good thing to become too successful, especially when
you're using someone else's venue.

Sounds like a pack of thieves out to steal someone else's hard work. Whatw
ould car selection be based on? Highest bid? Favorite color? All it wouldt
ake is a boycott to stop that bullshit dead in its tracks....so long as noo
ther vintage group agrees to take it over. This could be a real test of the
VMC and the vintage community in general. If they can destroy the Historics,
no group is safe.

profits.
Seems unfair to me. Steve took all of the risks for years to build a
successful
program and they just want to confiscate it.
