Southeast Chapter?

[Aerosmith145]

Hey guys,

Some of you know me; some of you don't. But I am entirely addicted to Turbo Mopars and have been for a long time. Is there ANY chapter in the southest? I feel a little left-out down here in Georgia!

I feel your pain. You would think Atlanta would have more members.

A few years ago we had a Carolina's chapter, but it sort of died from lack of interest. And there was a Mid-South chapter for a while also, with a contact in Alabama, IIRC. But again, that chapter has pretty much faded into the history books also.

The Florida chapter is closest to you now, but that really isn't very close at all.

I would def. be interested in a southern chapter!

As an understanding on this, SDAC chapters are formed to encourage folks in an area to meet up and do things together. Do very many of you already meet or go to shows or other events together? That is the first step, to get folks meeting up ....

Just saying there is interest in a chapter is not enough. If people aren't going to participate in chapter meets, there is no point in forming one.

+1 some of us should try to hang out and go from there. What all is involved in forming a chapter and what is to be gained from it?

What's to be gained???

Notoriety!!

Just kidding.

Seriously, some folks would like their informal meetings to be under the "umbrella" of a national club name. They just like the association with a national club. The actual advantages are few though. But if as a group you want to hold an event, a car show, or a drag race day, having the name of a national club may make your group seem more organized, may get a little more respect than just telling someone "a bunch of us would like to rent your park."

The national club leaves the operation of the chapter up to the leaders of the chapter. There is a contract that would need to be signed by the leader. That contract grants the use of the club name and use of the Shelby name and marks to the chapter (within reasonable limits). It doesn't cost anything, and the national club expects nothing in return except for folks to be enthused about the cars and the club. The leader(s) of the chapter are expected to join the SDAC national club and from time to time to encourage others to do the same.

But the first step is to start meeting and raise the question among yourselves, "Do you guys want to be a chapter?"
