[DeTomaso] No racing again at the 2017 POCA Fun Rally?

[Dan Courtney]

I guess I’m not allowed to post my opinion on The Forum if I’ve decided, after 25 years, that I don’t like the direction POCA went?
Better to stay silent and let the Club think it’s doing great by dropping the racing.
And did I miss something else? Is the Forum only for paid POCA members now?
And are we back to censorship?
I better shut up. Sorry.

Hi Dan 

I can't find you in the POCA membership database. Are you a member? If not, then what is you investment in our club?  If you are a member, give me your details of payment and we will have Judy McCarthy straighten it out.

     alienating the racers in the Club.
     Two years in a row without a track event? Whatas the point in having a
     Pantera track car if you canat compete against other Panteras?
     Parade laps are nice for daily drivers but not worth trailering a race
     car for a 1,000 mile trip.
     I thought last year was a one time foul-up, but now itas looking like
     the Club doesnat care about itas racing contingency, or about the
     Pantera racing tradition.
     As of this moment Iad say count me, The Beast and The Winged Warrior,
     out.
     Maybe Iall get over this by Spring, if anyone cares, but I strongly
     feel that the ability to host a Pantera track day should be a top
     priority in selecting a venue for any Fun Rally.
