Dear Mr Lackey,

I regret that I have to be the one to inform you that your membership application for the Tarheel Sports Car Club has been placed in administrative hold pending a complete background check.

There were some nasty rumors floated about when your application was brought before the new member suitability committee and that has led to us taking this unusual step. Many of those present seemed to suggest that you may be or have been a card carrying member of that evil empire to the West known as the Triad Sports Car Club. (As a side note Triad is also the name adopted by some notorious Asian organized crime syndicates, which should be enough to convince anyone that the automotive organization in the Winston-Salem, Greensboro area has some very shady connections) Some of the members present actually had the daring to even accuse you of being a person of considerable influence with the Triad organization with ties that may reach all the way too the top.

As if those rumors weren't damaging enough it would also appear that you are a driver of one of those twisted turbo'd 4 door vehicles that many people have been duped into believing is a sporty car. This is not the Subaru club of North Carolina we are running here. This is also NOT NASIOC!!!! We in Tarheel Sports Car Club believe that real sports cars have at most 2 doors, are 2WD preferably without an LSD, and if they are made in Britain and continuously leak oil so much the better. Vehicles with drive axles going to all four wheels belong in a mud pit or a monster truck show. YEEE HAAWWWW!!!! You go Grave Digger!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!

Oh where was I? Sorry got carried away there. Anywho, back to your member application. Just as an FYI we have dispatched a team of investigators to clear up any issues and gather some intelligence on the situation. If you happen to see a big white bus with red and blue flames on it, say outside your house, or in your rearview mirror, well that isn't us. It's probably just some crazy people who wanted to have a really cool bus but couldn't afford it so they settled for stickering up their busted old bus. So if you see it, remember.....not us, crazy people.

We will contact you, please do not submit further correspondence.

The Right Honorable President of the Tarheel Sports Car Club.

Shawn Whipple

YEEE HAAWWWW!!!! You go Grave Digger!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!

For those of you not at the meeting last week we received a membership application from Jeff Lackey who just happens to be the president of Triad. Of course, we had to have a little fun with that at the meeting since we have this whole friendly (mostly ) rivalry going with Triad.

Bowie normally sends out an Email letting folks know that they have been approved but for this one I decided a response from the President was the proper protocall. I have posted a copy here for review by the club members.
