Thank you VERY much for the post! I will always enjoy this stuff. I just can't figure out how I became the "bad guy" in all of this. All I did was ask some questions to convey to the rest of the Valiant team. (Tom Barcroft, Steve Been and Dave Stuart) I would have thought that with three Gold OE entries in the past five years, the Sponsorship Support and involvement with manufacturing some "okay" products for the industry, we might be considered an advocate to the program. Instead, I am shocked that this car has drawn so much animosity (and ill will) with a few people following the conclusion of the event. From anonymous people contacting the Magazines (trying to ruin our feature) to the stand off attitude of the Judges, this project has me dumbfounded with regards to the "after" Show responses.
