Paul, us "working stiffs" that spend our time getting greasy and banging up our knuckles on these old cars (when we aren't driving them) are still the heart and soul of it all. Yes, there are some guys with some serious money tied up in some beautiful cars, but that is hardly the norm. They are all great guys with something to add to the club; their machinery is an inspiration to many of us. Not everyone has to bomb around in an old beater like me, or turn their own wrenches to do so. It really is a good cross-section of means and mechanical know-how, all tied together by a love of these cars. So, while I do see the "money" here with some guys (just like in any car or bike club), I certainly don't see the "arrogance". In all of my years of running with all kinds of different car and bike clubs, I've never actually met a more down-to-earth bunch.
