Bruce,

Ownership is NOT required for being a member of POCA.  To receive a

prospective membership package, please e-mail Judy McCartney (POCA2@AOL.COM)

and tell her you are interested.  She will be happy to send you out a

package.

The POCA Vegas event dates are April 24 - 27, 1997.  If you would like

info on the event, please e-mail the event organizer, Mr. Kent Snyder

(POCA1@AOL.COM).

If you have any other questions, please send them my way.

Bill  :>)

Hi all:

Originally posted the "plus size" questions...and having sat in a couple

of Panteras since then, have noticed that the seat in the one I sat in was

stuck & not adjusted properly. :)  Sooo... I & others of the Larger Sizes

should fit "fine" with some minor tweaks.  Great!

(I'm 6' 0", 245lbs, ~33" inseam)  Leg room is "tight", however.



Question:  Is ownership of a(n) Pantera required for membership in POCA?

Pantera OWNERS Club of America seems to indicate this.  I would hope

and expect that that is not the case.



Question:  When is the POCA event in Vegas?



Thanks!

Thanks for the info Mike.  I'll keep this in mind.

I'll be taking one of those rooms.  Not sure yet if we'll be flying in

or driving.  Anyone know if rental cars are still available?



Also, now that I'm getting serious about this, I need to gather some

reference material.  I'm thinking about getting a bunch of the past

Pantera International newsletters.  I assume POCA has copies of its

past newsletters too.  Any comments or should I just buy them all?



Thanks,

Dan Jones
