John, I've been looking at your schedule and route, and it's
tantalizingly close to the dates for the Kastner Cup event at Portland
International Raceways (Sept 5 - 7 Columbia River Classic Road Race)
The CRC shares that date and venue with the All British Field Meet,
which is one of the largest confabulations of brit cars in the
Northwest.
We'll be putting together a fairly elaborate and fun set of events
surrounding the race. It looks like the timing will be decidedly off
and you have some pretty firm looking conflicts, but I thought I would
be remiss if I didn't let you know.
