Kevin, Some interesting observations you have made. Allow me to respectfully correct your inaccuracies. 1- There have never been thousands of people at a DCS. The DOA will never be able to get thousands there. Ken K can't get thousands, the DOA cant get thousands, it will probably never happen. Hundreds are the correct range. 2- DCS Las Vegas is not in the DOA's back yard. We don't have a back yard. We have representation in Florida, Virginia, New-Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, Ireland, France, and California. As an international association we work everywhere there is a market for us. The President lives in FL, and the VP in Minn. 3- We are working with Ken K and Ken M on DCS Las Vegas. If you correctly read Kens posts you would know that. 4- We are not looking to give away anything for free. It's not our goal; it is not the goal of our paying members. Our goal is to deliver value to our paying members. To that end many projects are in the works to give them more deliverables for 2009 than they had in 2008. When you produce a tangible product that has a cost associated with it, it can't be free. Somewhere a cost has to be covered.

Ummm....I'm not sure how the DOA directly gets thousands of people and cars to a DCS show. Las Vegas DCS in Sept. Is in the DOA's back yard, and they have done little to nothing (to my knowledge) to support or promote the show. Either way, I am not joining the DOA until they have something to offer me that I can't get someplace else/online for free.

Join the DOA, buy more parts, get attendance up at DCS (like a few thousand people and cars).. and cool things will happen browse through old DOA magz.. they had tons of cool things to buy and even DOA branded car insurance for its members. talk about neat ------------------------------------ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
