Oops. thanks to Mike Jackson, race director of DVAC, for reminding me
that I'm acronymally challenged. It's HMSA that isn't running the Gold
Cup, not RVMR that isn't running the Gold Cup.
Since there may not be anyone running the Gold Cup this year it could be
a perfect fit for FOT. Don

Hey Don, the organization that is no longer involved with the Gold Cup
is HMSA, the guy that organizes the Monterey Hysterics. Clearly someone
didnt do their homework before establishing Porsche as their featured
marque.
VDCA hopes you guys have a great time, we'll be at Sandy's relatives in
Indiana, nominally on our way to race at Blackhawk, not far from
Chicago. And thanks again to you guys for helping out with tech in
April.
Mike
