PCOOA 20th in Kansas City, MO

The newsletter arrived in the mail today so I've attached a scan (front & back) of the PCOOA 20th Anniversary Convention in Kansas City, MO flyer. Arrival is Wednesday June 29th and departure is Sunday July 3rd. A number of us will be attending so figured I'd scan and post it up here. Although some of us are members, a reminder that you do not have to be a member to attend. After the great SSP turnout last year at Indy, Jim Post has once again included an SSP class for Saturday's show. It will be good fun...hope to see you there.

Mike is this the show in Indy last year where everyone paraded around the entire show being "escorted" by ISP with lights flashing etc? Correct me if I am wrong but I heard there wasn't much of a turnout at that show except for the clan from .org?

Well part of it was escorted by Speedway police but I don't recall using lights. Another part of it was Indianapolis PD escorted with lights. As for turnout it seemed pretty good to me considering we're talking about old police cars. We had a large SSP turnout, which is good and yes most (if not all actually) are members here and I suppose .org too. For my experience this doesn't seem to be the largest niche of collector car hobby so it's not going to be a hundred car event.

I thought this was the same event. I remember seeing pictures posted where it was mostly SSP cars, and all the excitement about the light parade etc. I doubt I will attend again this year especially with the price of fuel being what it is. Hope everyone has a good time though.

On another note I keep forgetting to post up those letters for you. I will do that soon.

I think we did all have a good time so would be great if you have a chance to attend. Hopefully the turn out will be good. You mention the gas prices and I could see that affecting the turn out more this year. I'll have a pretty good distance roundtrip from here. Can't recall what prices were a year ago but guessing not as high as it will be this year. It was a good time with all the different tours lined up and so forth.

Thanks for the mention on the letters. Am hoping to get a request off to the MSP before the Spring gets into full swing. Thank you.

Mike,

Just an FYI...since you are also a member of CopCar.com, you might want to do a little research on the PCOOA over there. They are not associated with the PCOOA, despite what's listed on the PCOOA website, and I believe that the founder of that club has been banned from CC.com as well.
