informal survey

[ShoMotion93]

I'm wondering of those folks who post here, who considers themselves as current NESHOC members? I'm not sure when/if the club roster was last updated and thats what got me curious. I could probably ask Ed but I don't know if the info includes forum user names. No biggie, just being nosy
BTW, I've been a member since '98.

it doesnt seem like NESHOC has been updated in a while anyway...

 

[SHOTIME]

My membership has run out.

 

[RStalveyARFF]

what does it really give you anyways? $10 off an autocross which 1 sho attends? I'm quite content with the breakfasts as sho enthusiasts.

 

[Chris Benvie]

My membership ran out as well.

 

[TheKrazyRaven]

not a member, never was

went to one offical NESHOC meet, realised it was useless, and like erik said all you got with a membership was a discount at the autocrosses

the people who goto the breakfasts are the real New England SHO crowd

I get the sense that my question should have remained a question. I had a couple of comments but after I read them I decided to keep them to myself. End of subject as far as I'm conserned.

i personally think it was a good subject. i think if more people signed up or neshoc including myself. there might be more incentives to come as well as alot more events. i think someone from neshoc should comment on this thread on some events that they could plan other than the autocross. like meets, bbqs, car shows, etc. if that would happen then i would sign up yesterday.

Yeah, the breakfast group is the real SHO group...now.

I was a member of NESHOC from 1994 until just recently. I let my subscription run out since I no longer own a SHO and since you can access the autocrosses without one anyway. When the SHO was owned, in general, by older, typically wealthier groups, there were numerous club meetings, drives, BBQs and weekends in Maine at Peter Proach's(IIRC) place. Autocrosses were an integral part and those who participated know how much better you got to know the SHO and how much fun it was. It's too bad the younger crowd didn't want to join. Anyway, the club also was beneficial for the discount at the Victory, Dave Dinger, Herb Chambers, etc, Ford dealers.

Things change, the SHO has gotten older. Most don't want to take it to the dealer for repairs. Most recall work has been completed. Yeah, the autocrosses have maybe a SHO or 2. But at one time, being a member was beneficial to the SHO enthusiast.

Personally, it's too bad that I don't have a SHO anymore. It's also too bad that I couldn't attend the breakfasts. I've made innumerable meetings, autocrosses, and cruises. I went to Indy last year, so I do still have a fondness for the SHO. I can't make it on the 17th, I'll be in Florida. But hopefully, you'll see me in the future.

My membeship ran out long ago. I think th elast thing I went to was a NESHOC picnic at holhuts house with Kirk and Fred. After that, I have a mechanic in NESHO.com, parts in NESHO.com. For the 15 bucks I MAY save at a NESHOC Dyno day, I would rather spend it that day than buy a membership to NESHOC again. I do have a NESHOC sticker on my courtesy window though.
