A possible change in the rules regarding regional members

[Hearse_SS]

I wish i was closer to ya'll to make more events i like this a whole lot better than the other one i belong to for sure. but with no money commin in its hard to get the old girl even on the road and out and about lol

Looks like everyone has purple undercarriage lights. I think I'll go with green to go with the black and green style of the car. Hell, maybe even Type O Negative will want some pics with their logo on it

[Autopsy Hooker]

well i never take her over 60mph anyhow cuz im trying to baby her more so im sure that will help =D

Depending on your driving situation sometimes its a little easier on the car especially older models to find a backroad route instead of interstates,staying away from the higher rpm's of the higher speed limits.

well i wasnt gonna do the straight 4 1/2 hours in one sitting, i was planning on doing an hour, take a break, another hour, take another break, etc.

that way its a little more babied, u know?

Hell Scary, I drove my 72 up from South Carolina up to Michigan and that was as is, before I had the tons of money put into it. Is hers that bad? lol

You do have a point there.

OK, good luck but don't say I didn't warn you if anything does happen.

Driving to Lansing was insane, but I've made it before. You should be committed for thinking it will make it to PA though. Get it towed.

Active

I should be fairly active now that I have a regular schedule of work and my hearse is back in my possession. Prepare yourselves.

[Scary Guy]

also, scary guy, u and i BOTH know we need more active members than me, u, brant and todd... lol

Yeah, I know... Thought you were making a new account because you hated this name?

In any case we really need to work on it. Nix counts now too btw and there are a few others that are active but don't actually own a hearse.

Also you can ALWAYS find a closer club, that's the entire point of the NHAA. I guess limiting membership to Michigan is fine then. Perhaps we should make a US map of hearse clubs and color in regions/boarders. Or maybe use a service like http://www.frappr.com to do that.

Anyhow it's good to see you posting in any case.

[Autopsy Hooker]

so i never say anything on here so now i finally will... i agree on local membership unless the person cant find any club closer to them and we are the nearest club, but if that happens they should be an owner and not an enthusiast... also, scary guy, u and i BOTH know we need more active members than me, u, brant and todd... lol

[Reaper]

I can see both points and its very hard to vote on which way it should be. Personally, I do like a small closely knit club and if others are still members of the NHAA they would gain access to meets and all that other stuff. So I vote for the local membership. Though, I am still open to meeting other babes from other clubs!

Scary, I see where your coming from.
The way we (I) set R.I.P. up was a local / open club. We have a very "loose" definition of "members". As a mater of fact, our R.I.P. club itself can be discribed as 'loose'. No real officers, format, requirements, etc... basically a group of guys out to have fun with their procars. If someone has an idea, sees an event, wants to do something different... we call each other and show up to have fun.

R.I.P was basically set up to run between Buffalo & Syracuse N.Y. (so we can meet each other - which I guess is what you're aiming for), and we advertize heavely on that fact, but we still accept anyone.

On our web site we only list "Locals" as members, but between NHAA, my "Yahoo" board, and my "MySpace", anyone can (basically) join and interact with us / each other.

This keeps us local, but still opens us up Nationwide.

[Scary Guy]

I can definetely see your point. I talk to Hearse_SS quite a bit and theres a good chance I might be working in michigan real soon and I would like to attend an event you guys might be having at the time.

Well as a part of the NHAA you get access to all our events as well anyway.

We've got one guy (Stan) who we hang out with on a regular basis but he's not a member (yet, we're still trying to win him over).

So really this doesn't effect much other than who can and cannot become a member.
