I'm going to really try to do some out-of-area racing this year, so count me
as a definite maybe. I just got my invitation to the Monterey Historics and
the Wine Country race at Sears, so those two will grab time and resources,
but I'll do my best.

Subject: Re: ITC Challenge Race for 2005 at Hallet Oklahoma?
Count me in. uncle jack at vinttr4@geneseo.net. We raced at Hallet once and
it was a hoot. We plan to go back this Fall if everything is still together.
I want to give Tony a chance to beat me there. Great track -- something akin
to Blackhawk and Grattan but really more challenging than Blackhawk. CVAR is
a great organization to race with, too.
