Reply to "Concorso Italiano 2009"

George,

Have you, or anyone else, contacted either group to see if they will include a celebration of 50 years of DeTomaso in their programs? I am sure that this would be of extreme interest to people trying to figure out which event to go to. I also know that doing these shows is an incredible undertaking that is not to be poo pooed, but then again, a landmark like a 50 year anniversary should have some weight too -- it is an opportunity that comes along once.

I understand the loyalty aspect of the Concorso, but an acknowledgement of 50 years would have to be weighed against either venue. Wouldn't it be something if both places had a 50 year celebration!

I would also agree on your assessment of waiting to see what develops. Makes sense -- there is no reason to rush to decision at this point.

May the best event win.

Sounds like the VHS vs. Betamax or the Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD format wars of years ago. Unsettling would be a good word -- until one can see which event has it together the best.
