FoT:
Of course Cary left out the fact that he was injured playing with his
children. Dangerous stuff. (not in the racecar or the bedroom)
I agree with Cary, we should try a FoT event on both Coasts in 2007.
Las Vegas would make it a bit easier for some of us to tow....and it is a
destination location. Fontana might be a choice. Plenty of venue
choices
in the Spring and early summer for the East Coast.
I would promote Road America in 2008 (Kastner Cup) and Portland's Columbia
River Classic in 2008 with any encouragement from the list, at all.
