Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | I truly believe that if the Nats were a week long, they wouldn't be much different than they are right now. As long as the Hosts keep the important stuff (van show, awards, awarded games, etc.) scheduled for Wednesday thru Saturday anyone wanting to attend longer can, and those who cannot will not miss out on anything.
Just because an eVANt is a week long, doesn't mean you have to attend for the entire week.
Anthony, to answer your question about the HHR and PT cruiser thing: The HHR Panel is allowed because it was marketed by GM as a PANEL. The PT cruiser panel was not built from the factory and never marketed as a true panel. The Nationals (as well as other eVANts) are open only to Vans and Panels. This all has been debated for many years and the Nats board made their final decision on that. I believe both versions would be allowed at nearly any east cost eVANt. Keep in mind tho, there are a lot of stubborn 'old school' vanners (no offense anyone) that still don't believe mini-vans and campers belong at a 'Vans Only' eVANt, and that will prolly NEVER change. | | | Re: How bout some ideas? | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 681 addict | addict Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 681 | Hey Sue Trust me I'm relaxed !! Can't make it to the cofc Questioneers were handed out at the nats and one of the questions were this very one that we are talking about now. | | | Re: How bout some ideas? | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | there are 2 camps on this anthony, the survival of the sport, and the purity of the sport.... and lets just say that there have been many heated debates here on the issue, and we don't get into it on the forums anymore. it has caused too many problems. you want to debate it around a campfire, or via PM, that's fine.
as you saw yourself, you got a little animated on the topic, some people get VERY animated.
I saw a vehicle on the grounds myself that I had to discuss with a nats rep, and I would still like to discuss it more, but I'm not going to open that can of worms here. 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."

Wisconsin Van Council Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 1,859 | FYI, I am not taking anything Anthony says in a personal way, I feel he is just trying to get some answers and make his point, (which I can see but dont agree)
Just want to make sure I say that and thank you Anthony for saying what you say. I dont feel you are being animated or upset about anything.
This is the problem with the internet though you cant see how people are saying things and we are all taking it a different way.
So as far as I am concerned keep up the ideas, this will be hashed out when it is needed, by the appropiate people. | | | Re: How bout some ideas? | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 681 addict | addict Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 681 | My issue isn't about hhrs or pts I was just using that as a point About some people bieng stuck in a time warp And I'm sure people didn't like the idea at first, of vanning info being posted on websites
And I'm sure that poeple didn't like the idea at first of mini vans,camper vans And if these people had their way where would we be now ?
My real concerne is the nats schedule Wed to sunday for the nats is really silly | | | Re: How bout some ideas? | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 12,898 Vanner | Vanner Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 12,898 | Here is another issue about holding the Natz mid week..Some people who can't get any holidays off would miss them altogether...at least on the weekend they have a chance to come for that at least....
It has been said here before, if you don't have a chance to make it to the CoC, talk it over with your councils rep and have the Council put the idea forward.
That is what the CoC is for. Council of Councils means what it says. The ideas can be presented then even in your absence.
