Also saddens me to this day.  And I'll bet if we both worked at it, my list will be bigger than yours!  Sadly bigger than yours. If you win, I'll buy you one year CORSA Membership.  If you win, you buy me a beer.  OH! Wait!! I don't drink swamp water!!  VBG!!!

As a continuous CORSA member since 1978 (I think), I have witnessed, from the sidelines, LOTS of very strange behavior from the BoD. There have been several issues upon which I have voiced my opinion.  Not the least of which was when I sent registered letters to the total board to apply pressure for them to create a class for street driven cars.  They fought against that idea with tooth and nail but finally agreed.  Today, they still fight against required CORSA membership to belong to a local club … fearful of 'loosing' membership!  [They are NOT members now!!!] even though almost all OTHER clubs have that policy.

Now the real question … Why is there so much trouble with the CORSA Bod?  I have been part of many other organizations and I know there are a certain amount of problems, especially in all volunteer groups, but has anyone ever determined WHY the CORSA Bod has so many more issues than other similar groups and why it is so inclined to not make decisions that are the in best interest of the club?

Inquiring minds want to know :-)

I dropped my membership after serving on the CORSA board. I saw lots of ugly stuff. What do they say? If you like sausage, you should watch how it's made.
