Hello All: Wayne H Pettipas Tel 613-596-9473 Fax 613-596-9969 E [EMAIL PROTECTED] VMOA--#1266
Well .. the "club" in front of this one .. the VMax Owners Club ... was started in '94 by Jon Cotner ... It crashed sometime in '95 if I remember correct .. and had about 150 members. It had an excellent publication ... the "Hard Twist" which only made 4 issues but was very commercial and was stocked in major book stores. There was also "The Scoop" .. a periodic newsletter that filled in between the issues of Hard Twist. I think it must have been quite a bit of work to build the original "club" because I don't think Yomama gave Jon a copy of all the owners. I think this original work helped the follow up V-Max Owners Association get a better start, (there was a list of previous "club" members). Then of course .. I think the Internet has helped quite a bit too ... Yomama or Yo dealer didn't tell you to join the VMOA did they ?? I am not mentioning this to diminish any of the hard work put forth by anybody who has contributed to making the VMOA what it is today ... it is just that there is blood in the back seat .... a valiant effort at the wrong time but none the less a foothold that allowed the VMOA a better chance of survival ...... Prior to that ... the only person advertising for the Vmax was Dale Walker ... he used to advertise Vmax stuff in all the cycle rags and in the back of "National Dragster", (the weekly newsprint magazine that goes with your NHRA membership). How many people had ISP accounts or web pages in 1994 ?? (the answer is ... "not too many"). /// Isn't technology wonderful ?? campbell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Ullman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: vmoa member total > > I'm sure it was the original founder > of the VMOA, Clint Hooper...
