It's interesting that you didn't notice the lack of
respect Spits/GT6's get as after the last large VTR meet
out west, we had at least three Spit/GT6 drivers mention
the 'snubbing' they seemd to feel by the field at large.
(the conversations are all in the archives on the nasshq
site)
I'll have to forward you a link to Geof's site with the
membership app (now payable via paypal right on line).
But at least a copy of the app can be found on the
www.nasshq.org.. http://www.nasshq.org/docs/memberapp.html
with a direct link to the app. at

History has shown that simply doesn't work. At almost
all
major events across the U.S. at least (AND on the
various lists) ,
the 'nose thumbing' of the big TR guys towards the
Spitfire and
GT6 has become intolerable. Considering the production
volumes
and runs, (1960 all the way through 1980), it's totally
unwarranted.
Paul,
You know I have been around the block since 1989
attending National meets and
I have seen very little of the nose thumbing you speak
of. OK maybe the
marque specific clubs for Sixes, Side Screen Triumph's
and Stags could give you a
false impression. But they were founded for that unique
purpose just like
NASS. I have certainly seen none of this in VTR. I
have a 76 1500 and a 70 MK 3
that I have taken to VTR Nationals and I have enjoyed
myself hanging out with
all the Spitfire Type Guys. No one looking down at me,
and if they were I
would just tear them up on the Autocross course. Bill
Mcdivits MK 1 Spitfire has
done very well in VTR Concours including winning the
very prestigious George
Rabey Preservation Award. TR7 Guys could offer up the
same complaint but my 81
TR7 was awarded BOS Concours in Portland, OR. As long
as I am Chief Judge
Spitfires will get a fair shake.
Where can I pay dues to Nass? I blew it and let my
membership lapse. I have
a GT6+ under construction and may need some help.
Thanks,
Darrell Floyd
