GARLITS vs FMA...and the Mopar Guy suffers because of it.

I was a Judge at the first several shows at Garlits and they were the BEST at the time and Don was terrific with everyone. Now that politics are in play, I no longer participate in either as a judge. I do endorse the venders because they help us in finding our parts to keep the hobby going. Those of you that bad-mouth both shows are not doing anyone any justice. Being the two shows are only a week apart, I believe they are hurting themselves. Six months apart would be better for both. There "IS" a need for both shows and they need to work together. SAD......
I am not just bad mouthing either show, just to be negative. Just stating the truth. Neither show is what it could/should be. We have members that are asking if it is worth traveling several hours to come to the show(S). I'm just trying to be honest. Personally I would not travel more then a couple of hours for either show, the way they are now. I agree there is a place for both shows, at about 6 months apart, and yes they do need to work together
