Hi Duane,

All sarcasm and contention here that I have contributed to this thread I apologize for.

When I was on SCOF I thought that the approach was too narrow to builders. The SPF platform/roller comes complete I have built and built an older Shell Valley (1992), bought and finished a work in progress Unique and owned an SPF (#343) that needed TLC when I bought it, had an FFR Daytona built and done a lot of work on it since then. SCOF's narrow approach is not a builder’s forum but, more oriented to performance, tuning and sorting out handling, non standard fit and finish items. SPF is a terrific manufacturer and that is the reason I decided to buy my GT40 from them. I will sign back up to SCOF when my GT gets here later this year.

I always went to CC and the FFR forums for detailed information and as Duane pointed out -- CC has ten times the number of members and the FFR member headcount is the same or maybe even larger. I have always tried to stay quiet and not feed the fires or contention but, was disappointed when my SCOF access was terminated.

IMHO SCOF does not do itself a service by excluding the larger community........An alternate proposal would be for SCOF to open its closed door for a public access forum the same way CC has.
