| the inherent similar unethical business practices that Z1 has also done in the Z32 community... Z1Motorsports is probably the largest distributor of Z32 related items, an has deep pockets. They have been around a long while now an has the business leverage to pull off a event like this... Where as some other vendors may not have the same level of capital/"pull" to make it happen. At the end of the day, it's all about business and $. Z1Motorsports has the lead on major events like this, so for now, it is what it is... If AMS is a sponsor or not for this event, Z Nationals would still go on... Every enthusiast market has it's own "AMS/Z1".... It is what it is... All we can do as consumers is make our own choices on who we buy from... Unfortunately many of the parts we buy from other vendors outside of Z1, still comes from Z1Motorsports, so they still get their "cut"... Our community is small, we have what? 4-5 major vendors period (Z1,SZ,IPP,AshSpec,& CZP). That's a VERY narrow pool to serve the hundreds if not thousands of active Z32 owners who frequent this site or other mediums.. So all of our collective capital goes to only a few companies, which makes business VERY good for them... With time things will shift... As the Z32 is a small an somewhat dying market in comparison to the higher volume of vehicles available in other markets. Hence all of our current major vendors have to diversify their products an services to other platforms to ensure longevity... End rant//// -Mario
