Meadow Brook Concours

Word of caution.

If you happen to be contacted by the Meadowbrook Concours to display a car, be forewarned they are lacking in communication skills.

In February I was told they wanted to feature a few drag race cars, and asked if I would bring Red Alert, automatically accepted if I committed. Being it was the same weekend as the Gibb show, which was already on my schedule, I told them would see what I could work out. With LaHrape somewhat between Alton and Michigan, I told them I would be there, leaving LaHarpe Saturday PM and have RA there Sunday AM for their event.

As of Monday I had not received anything from MB, so I thought I would do some checking. Calls and emails direct to MB went unreturned, but I was able to speak to the person who first contacted me (another car owner), who said they had decided, “to go in another direction”, thus RA was not accepted. He went on to say this decision was made three-four weeks ago. Geez…I was they had let me know before everyone here rearranged their schedules. Sure makes you appreciate Bob A., Colin, BKH and others who do the necessary legwork when putting together displays.


The good news is..Diana and I can spend more time with friends in LaHarpe.
