Frank, weeks before SCR5, through a mutual friend, I extended an invitation for Jack to attend the event, at my expense. Not for sure why it did not materialize. As I have said numerous times, I have absolutley nothing against Jack, his cars or their owners. I would love to visit with him some time. Monday night I spent over 2 hours on the phone with a Douglass owner, discusing numerous things, including each others thoughts about JD and DY. I even went as far as to check my records and numbers, for not only Douglass, but Yenko info as well (at no cost). I even faxed him a copy of the DY, JD document. In addition, for the past two weeks I have been communicating with another Douglass owner in regards to his car and related paperwork. This dialog may be helpful in clearing up some of the Douglass puzzle. My point is this. If I did not respect Douglass cars, why would I bother. I certaintly have plenty of other things I could be doing.

In closing, as the Douglass owner and I talked about Monday, why is it so important to link the cars to Yenko? If I were an owner of a Douglass car, here is what I would do. The same as I have done with Yenko, and others have done with Gibb, Harrell, Berger and Motion. I would collect all of the info, pics, doucments and related memorabilia as I could related to Douglass. Then I would display this collection with my car any time I could. I would go on various web sites and explain who and what JD Chevrolet was. My goal would be to make the JD name as well known as the other well known supercar dealers. Can it be done, I think so, but will never happen as long as they carry the Yenko *. Douglass cars deserve, should and can stand on their own. And, I would think this is how Jack would like to be remembered, not as an * to Yenko.
