Josh, you are absolutely correct!! I have been in constant communication with Ken and the battles of the past are over. You can confirm this with Ken. Unfortunatley its too late in the game to do anything with Ken at this years show. Its not because of a conflict with Ken. Its because some of us simply car make the show and its so close we aren't able to something together. For the record, I have no conflict with Ken. I told him and the board I refuse to be in a battle that started before I got involved. 

Josh, if you like to call me directly I will be happy to talk with you directly about this. I can assure you and everyone who is reading this that we are working on things that will bring major change. Once we have everything in place we will make the announcements. One thing that has started is open communication to the community. Now its up to everyone.............

All the Best, 
 
Ken Baker
President 
DeLorean Owners Association

  Unfortunately, I've let my membership lapse as of late. I just wasn't
  getting much value from DeLorean World anymore, and when they decided to
  stop supporting Ken Koncelik's shows, I decided it was time to stop
  supporting them.

  If we can all agree that every one of us is involved with the community for
  the common good, then by all means I'll rejoin! Sounds easy right? 

  Let's do what we can to prove it! This ridiculous rift that has developed
  between the DOA and DCS has to go. How can we work together to make the
  community whole again?

  Hey Ken,

  Congrats on the new position! Although I haven't always agreed with the
  DOA's methods, I have always agreed with your stated mission. I'd like to
  help further that mission locally if I can. How do I go about helping to
  setup a local chapter?

  Recently there has been a major change in the management of the 
  DeLorean Owners Association. With that change comes a new direction. 
  I realize that this forum is not the most popular place for the DOA. 
  I also realize that in the past there have been many conflicts with 
  the board of the DOA and other leaders in the DeLorean community. As 
  I stated, with a new Board comes a new direction and a fresh 
  attitude. We can't change the past, but we can control our future. 
  Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ken Baker and I am the new 
  President of the DeLorean Owners Association. 

  There has been a lot of chatter about the Association. I'm amazed as 
  to how much of the comments are not true. There also have been some 
  very useful constructive comments. I realize in the past there has 
  been a feeling that the DOA is an elitist organization. As DeLorean 
  enthusiasts, we want to work to bring the DeLorean community 
  together. We would like to hear from you, the DeLorean owner and 
  enthusiast.

  As the President, my goal is to promote the legacy of John DeLorean 
  and help preserve and promote the DeLorean automobile. The board as 
  a team will strive to meet the needs of the DeLorean community and 
  work to unit all DeLorean owners. I think it's important to remember 
  that we all got into this hobby because we share a passion. I am sure 
  no one got into it to have conflicts or animosity towards others. 

  In the next month we are going to launch new programs that will 
  hopefully benefit the DeLorean community. In the meantime, we hope to 
  hear from you. In the past, there has been talk of "secret meetings" 
  and the board was unapproachable. Those days are over. We are out 
  here reaching out to the DeLorean community. We would like to hear 
  from you and how to meet your needs. My email address is listed 
  below. Please contact me directly if you would like to contribute or 
  discuss issues, concerns, or how we as a DeLorean Club can better 
  serve the DeLorean community and our members. 

  The team that makes up the Board of Directors of the DeLorean Owners 
  Association is:

  Ken Baker President
  Mark Shearer Vice President
  Ron Ferguson Membership Director
  James Hales Advertising Director
  Joan Truscott Treasurer
  Elliott Hansen Chapter Director -Florida
  Alistair McCann Chapter Director-Ireland
  Steve Hirman Chapter Director-Minnesota
