We're lucky we had our own class at all ... period . If it wasn't for me begging & pleading & conversing with the Carlisle productions event coordinator , we'd have still been lumped with the Escorts & Tempos , like other years  . Like I said before , the class next year should put all Contours / Mystiques together in their own class . There was a mistake in the translation that made the class just for SVTs . There's no reason a "standard" Contique couldn't compete with any SVT in a car show . For now , we just need to work on getting the overall Contique numbers up , not split 'em up into many classes . I'm not going to go nuts trying to get a "standard" Contour class , and a "standard" Mystique class , a "modified-standard" Contour class , a "modified-standard" Mystique class , a "stock" SVT class , a "modified SVT" class ... etc , that would be silly . I know that I can't compete with all of the other SVTs that were there ... but I'm happy just to have everyone there & showing numbers . Perhaps someday we could have all the different classes , but for now , I think we need to concentrate on the important thing ... getting cars there  .

Dang! What are you doing up so late?? I agree - I don't think we should work on joining them up right now, just getting more there. But I don't think we should keep them together either. Wouldn't the SVT's on average get more votes than the non-SVT's? What are your thoughts? Split them up or no?

I don't think splitting SVTs and regular Contiques would be realistic.
Allen and I busted our butts getting rgistration forms out and getting 25 for the tent didn't happen until just a few weeks prior.
Splitting up would only hurt our ability to get our own class and a tent. Besides, look at Chris' SE that looked exactly like an SVT!

Isn't the tent a "club" tent, not a "class" tent? If we get 25 registered as "CEG", it shouldn't matter what class they're in...for example, the turbocoupe classes got split up between 83-87 and 88's. There were 14 83-87's and 15 88's. We still got a tent because there were 29 peope registered to "North american turbocoupe organization".

plus.. I will bring a tent next time and we can plaster signs all over it, that isnt my point. Look at many other groups of cars that were there. There were like 2 modified vans, which had their own group. there were 3 tempos that had their own group. Mercury muraders had there own group and there was like 4 of them.. Its rediculous, I'm going to be calling this year to try and get two groups, and one tent.
my 2 cents
