I am repeating what I was told. I would really like to here it is not true. Exclusives are detrimental to the growth of our sport. Competition is a good thing. Contrary to what you may have been told. Why is there a Shell gas station across from every Amoco (BP) And a White Hen near every 7-11 ?

Remember reading somewhere that the ARMY was the only one allowed to have enlistment booths and and displays at national events.

Thinkin' back to my original source, I seem to recall that was the crux of the issue. Even if the Army doesn't have exclusive sponsorship rights, what branch of service would want to sponsor a car and not be able to "set up shop," so to speak, at a National Event? Can anyone else verify this as true?

Even I would back a USN Flopper... Heck I'd even work in their booth If they let me... and you know where I'm coming from.
Now, could we set up Cats on the starting line... and would it really help

I know it's a little, Ok a lot, off track, but have you ever had a cat shot? Probably not given you're rating, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Ed McCulloch also had Air Force backing at one time.

Don't think we will ever get a real answer to this, but I will stand by what I have heard. The Army is the only one allowed to have displays and all the other stuff that pertains to it.
