As a Contour owner who is VERY active in SVTOA I completely disagree with the statement that SVTOA doesn't acknowledge the SVT Contour. If you were at the SVT Experience you would have seen the Contour prominently displayed on the shirt and awards and the few that participated are in the video many times. Local SVTOA clubs that have car shows almost always have Contour classes as well. If Contour owners would submit articles to the SVT Enthusiast I can confidently say they would be published as well.
I actually think the problem is that the Contour owners feel like the red headed stepchild in the SVTOA and those that do participate in the On-Track Events and at the Experience see that this is DEFINITELY not the case.
We had 4-5 SVT Contour's come to the IRP Invasion last weekend and all of them had an absolute blast! The SVTOA is a club for ALL SVT and high performance Ford vehicles and there is absolutely no reason why they would ignore the Contour group.
If more Contours came out to events I can also say you would see more of them in the SVT Enthusiast as well.
