In Reply To	AMS gave $3750 worth of Cash/Product for ZCON 2011 (n/m) posted by Zski on September 08, 2011 at 12:01 PM
Message	They gave some amount of real cash and a pile of junk metal w. hyper inflated MSRP prices based on comparative pricing of real US made "comparable" parts. The reality is that AMS really "gave" less what some of the lesser sponsors contributed to the event. However because the perception is that AMS gave $1000's, they get the booth space, asshole fire zone parking, unrelated display cars, free track slots, free event registrations and the right to walk around like they own the fucking place. Sigh. Bernie Bilski berniebilski@cox.net 1995 Nissan 300ZX TwinTurbo in Cobalt Green 1997 Nissan 240SX SE in Ultra Red ZCCNV #390 ~ ECZA #368
