Light show.
Since I won that event last year I had to ask why. The 3 Indiana Troopers based their judging on " Officer Safety". My FHP 381 is original with the FHP Blue lights.

We had 48 vintage Police Cars registered, 12 SSP showed up, most all were ORG. members. There is a push this year by Copcamaro to get 6 to 7 B4C in one location.

The Org members have no problem in getting to gether, enjoying the cars and friendship, promoting the SSP. Yes Net member are invited to PCOOA and might injoy some of the Org members.

Motor Escort was done to get 48 cars througth traffic. No lights & no sirens from the 48. It does not take much to screw traffic up.

I would welcome Net members to PCOOA. You have a MCA show in Dallas in two weeks. 6 Org SSP Members coming from all over the US. I notice that Net has several members in Texas & Dallas, I look forward to seeing you there. Those 12 SSP members enjoying friendship, getting together and showing the cars.

PCOOA is in my backyard this year. I look forward to those Org members who are coming and would welcome the Net members to the event. Somehow we want to trash an event that has not even happened.

Jim,

No one here is trying to trash the event, but we are very careful about who we hang out with and how the SSP hobby is "promoted". Light shows, videos of staged pursuits, Mustangs with LED e-lighting on them, people parking in circles in parking lots (drinking) with lights flashing while drawing chalk outlines of bodies are all things that are not what I'd consider positive promotions of the hobby. If you know the PCOOA history and choose to hang out with them, good for you. If you know the history of how some members from ORG act at car shows and hang out with them, again, good for you. Personally, I choose not to associate myself or the hobby with some of the types of people that you do. I also choose not to go to car shows with guys who are driving "restored" 2000-ish Crown Vics around. It's my personal choice, just as it is yours, and I'm apparently not alone. Many others here on NET and elsewhere feel the same way.

That's all. It's not a NET v/s ORG thing, as there are good members of both.

BTW....I'm not sure which car is yours, but I didn't see any FHP cars in the video that Mike posted last year that were original with respect to the lighting.
