OMC 2011: OFFICER NOMINATIONS REQUESTED

It's "that time of the year" again.

According to OMC's by-laws, nominations for members who wish to serve as officers for the following year, must be received in time to formulate a ballot (to accompany the next issue of The Blitz).

2010 was an exciting year for me as the President. I had the honor and pleasure to work with our Activity Coordinator Gil Wesson to assist in planning and conducting OMC's 30th Anniversary. Quite a few of you made it to Monterey and Laguna Seca, Letter from to celebrate a world class car event, and our club’s milestone “picnic”. We have been talking about next year already, and have just reserved the same camping spots again the President – right below the famous “cork screw” at Laguna Seca Raceway. More later ...

I would like to thank all of OMC’s volunteers for their work done during 2010. Besides Gil, Matt and Dick, a very special Thank You goes to our Blitz Editor Dennis Gardiner. Dennis has contributed with entertaining road trip reports and excellent tech articles, to fill the Blitz pages every other month. All this in addition to leaving thousands of fingerprints and weld spots on the OGTS Conrero Tribute GT (covered in detail in the next Blitz issue).

I cannot stress enough how important it is for the future of the Blitz to receive members’ suggestions, articles, or any Opel related stories submitted to the OMC.

So, for those who wish for OMC to do even more than we do now, we offer an invitation to place their name(s) in nomination as officer candidates for 2011.*

Submitted statements will accompany the election ballot (provided with the next issue of The Blitz).

OMC can be reached by email ([email protected]) or phone at 209-928-1110.

*Statements must be received by December 15, 2010. Comments reflecting OMC should be positive, factually accurate, and pro-active in their descriptions and approach.

About This Issue: Notes from

True, this doesn’t resemble a “typical” Blitz. So I will explain. the Editor This issue commemorates completion of a long-sought project.

After significant time and effort, all the “modern” Blitz issues (those from January 1985 through Sept/Oct 2010) have not only been collected but also digitally scanned into Adobe Acrobat files. This means that 275 issues will not only be easily searchable, but the collection (in paper it fills several filing cabinet drawers) can now be readily compiled onto a single DVD! (That’s in part, how we compiled this issue—You can see how “BIG” it is!).

The optimum result would be for “classic” Blitzes to be drawn upon as “reference materials” (articles and graphics) in upcoming Blitzes. It promises to make the job of Editor much easier, with the prospect of many thousands of pages to draw upon for perspective and retrospectives.

The OMC Editor has a special responsibility, to continue the legacy that now extends past a quarter-century. And once again, it’s time for OMC to accept nominations from members for an Editor for issues bearing a 2011 dateline. Is it a good idea, to also “sweeten the deal”?

What we’re considering, is offering the OMC Blitz DVD to the next OMC Editor (so all members can benefit). We hope that drawing attention to this (with the “BIG Index” issue), becomes the “lure” to attract the next Blitz Editor. (We’ll go back to our “regular” format next issue). Your thoughts on this (and your nominations) are requested. “25 Years of the OMC Blitz” (Index: 1985-2010)

OCA: Opel Club of America (1977-1981) The first organized enthusiast club in the US, founded by William Julian. Newsletters attempted to follow a monthly schedule (but were often late). Membership peaked at 1100 in late 1979, but after the founder crashed his GT and reconsidered the workload of running a club (including answering tech questions by mail by himself), parts vendor Mantapart put out some of the last issues in 1981. OMC published a tribute to the OCA (including many article samples, but no index) in the November 1995 Blitz.

ODCA: Opel Driver's Club of America (1989-1995) A short-lived club based in the Monterey, California area, the ODCA published 8 issues in 1989. Standout articles included submissions on increasing Opel drivetrain performance modifications from Bob Legere. No ODCA back issues were ever advertised for sale, and the club essentially folded when co-founder Ed Tolosko passed away in mid-1995. OMC published some article reprints and an index in the Oct 1995 Blitz.

NAOGTC: North American Opel GT Club (1984-1998) Editors Rodney Davis and Riley Taylor published most of the issues which appeared monthly or bi-monthly between #1 of May 1984 through #80 of December 1997, from their home base in Illinois. A NAOGTC “tech” index of #1 through #63 appeared in the March 1995 OMC Blitz. The NAOGTC reprinted it, as part of an expanded "tech tip" index that covered their first 70 newsletters (in their March/April 1996 issue). A review of issues #71—#80 reveals the NAOGTC relied more heavily on article reprints. Back Issues were previously available through the NAOGTC, which was later incorporated as a regional chapter of the OMC.

NWOC: Northwest Opel Club (1983-1995) Located near vendors More Opels (WA), German Opel Parts (OR), Opel Leo (WA), the NWOC originally was a circle of friends who met for fun about 1983-1988. Newsletters were issued from 1985 to about 1987, then after a hiatus from 1991 into 1995. Group activities continued as "Opels of Washington," who host the Opel meet in Tacoma each July. OMC published a NWOC newsletter index in the February 1996 Blitz.

OANA: Opel Association of North America (1991-2000) Originally "Opel Exchange" of Frank Lundholm and Joe Pavlack of Maryland & Virgina (respectively), this club was renamed the OANA when Charles Goin edited bi-monthly newsletters starting in mid-1995. Print and online newsletters were issued to 2000, then the club went digital-only (a related "Classic Opels" online group evolved to the opelgt.com discussion board). Some of the later 1998-2000 newsletters are online at hemmings.com. An annual meeting at the Import Show at Carlisle, Pennsylvania continues.

There were also additional newsletters issued by Opel part vendors ("GT Teils"?), but so far as we know back issues weren’t inventoried or offered. The most voluminous may have been C&R Small Cars' "Opel USA" of the 1982-1992 (which claimed a 5000-issue distribution at its 1985 peak, per a profile in the December 1995 Blitz). The newsletter that SHOULD be indexed, is the 90-issue “GT Journal” of Germany (1986-1994) as edited by Albert Heinel. But the translation required, makes this unlikely.
