I don't recall whether or not I've chimed in on this before. If not, I will go on record in favor of merger. The differences are indiscernible too most members, so the wasteful duplication is nuts.

Reminds me of when, many years ago, I asked my Lutheran minister dad what it was going to take before some of the numerous synods decided to merge. He said, "Some people are going to have to die." He was right. I believe that organization is down to two major subgroups, between which there are truly significant (alas, political if not theological) differences that sort of justify separation.

Since we are talking about things that will never happen. How about the merger of Coke and Pepsi? Or McDonalds and Burger King.

Not car related? OK how about combining the big three auto makers?

I feel that we need both clubs and I do belong to both; for almost 35 years. One reason is that the national meets can be held at the east coast and west coast and no one would would have to travel the entire united states to attend.
We live in Michigan and if the meet was in California we would not be able to attend, both in the time and distance to get there.

The national magazines are well worth the price you pay , and the information is priceless.

Don't really have a dog in the fight, but looking in from abroad the two clubs appear to compliment each other in the offerings that they provide? There will always be some overlap, but a monopoly is never good. You guys/girls are very lucky to have the choices and support for the car hobby in general
