mklotz70 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Might want to consider a 50/50 raffle that runs for months or all year leading up to Canby and maybe not a "need to be present to win". I'm not sure there's many people like Al that can/will take on that kind of project after seeing the effort put into this one. Just a thought. But......doing it the way Al did certainly proved his point or achieved what he was after.......bringing the community together for the benefit of the community! 8 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 The truck thing was immensely cool, but I opine that it is not a sustainable thing for a year to year give away. 1 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I would like to use this build as an example of what we can do as a community . And use this to help each other . I would rather take a couple months and let people who need there rig fixed submit there name intoa hat , we pull a name and do what we can to fix that car/truck and make sure that it makes it to Canby the next year . I am not talking about building hem a new vehicle , but helping them to finish what they have already started . In this way we could carry on this tradition and we would be helping each other . . just an idea . 12 Quote Link to comment

KoHeartsGPA Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I just hope PMSpsychoBITCHdramaQUEEN doesn't become president of datsuns northwest, if so then this community will really have to pull something out of a hat to make our own annual event, she will ruin Canby forever with her poison.... 5 Quote Link to comment

I was mellow on my comment and I don't take any of it back, what she said to Al out of all people was disgusting and uncalled for, Draker and I were stunned and nearly vomiting in our mouths, watch the video!

I would rather just put this to rest , FACT : She chewed me out for not contacting some vendors she wanted to have come to canby to sell there wears . Video day 1 thread 2:35 Sorry but i didnt bring or promote any vendor , this wasn't about making money it was about our community . Thats all I have I have to say on that topic . 7 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 that's a 3hr 40min video :lol: After a bit, we killed the once we realized where the conversation was going. I'll watch it back. I could give a shit less about the lady, but I don't want anything to reflect poorly on Al and his affiliation with Northwest Datsuns. He is a member. 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks for the timestamp.Didn't sound like she was too out of line to me, but it did sound as though there was a lack of communication on her part as to what exactly she was trying to accomplish at the fun run. To bad you guys cut the audio. :) Not sure why she gave whatever business cards to Al? I will say though if she wanted specific vendors to be there, she should contacted them 6 Quote Link to comment

I will say though if she wanted specific vendors to be there, she should contacted them I agree HUGE lack of communication I dont carry a title with Datsuns Northwest , Except " member " just like a few of you . I dont and never had any control over who is allowed to be a vendor at their event . chewing me out for not bring her vendors to the event seemed out of line , this is not the way I would want the president of my organization talking to someone that was there to support your club . I put a ton of time and tons of my own money into making this a success for Datsuns Northwest and the others attending Canby . Sorry if I forgot to call two business so they could come make a buck off the datsun community . 4 Quote Link to comment

She may have directed it at Denmark but he might have just been the match that set off the dynamite. And I respect your opinion, but there are boundaries that have to be respected especially when you hold important positions, you simply do not chew out someone that worked his butt off in public in the center of an important event with live stream to top it off, whatever issue or complaints you may have....you do it in PRIVATE. That is all I have to say on this subject, and out of respect for Al and the rest of the community I won't make anymore comments about it in this thread. Diego. 5 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I can give her the benefit of doubt because I really don't know her. I can also imagine she had to talk to a couple of clods throughout the weekend and we all know how frustrating that can be. 2 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Its the belittling him part I dont agree with. That just might be her character. Something we NEED in the Datsun community 2 Quote Link to comment
