Mike, not only would racers (most)be willing to pay a little extra, but even
some out in the landracing community not racing might throw a few dollars to
the cause. You see just like the "Save the Salt" issue, many feel compelled to
see it simply exist, for what is stands for, much more than trying to go fast
on dirt.
Maybe you could enlist Jonathon and landracing.com possibly to look into
industry support, it IS out there, and they have much more $ means to assist
"in the cause".
Just some thoughts, its a heavy line you tow, .....but not all for you and the
SCTA committees to tow ALONE
Joe (yeah I scrimp to afford the right spark plugs, but sending a donation now
to ensure I get to use the plugs in the venue the lakes and salt offers, with
the community and heritage inherent, is money well spent) Amo
