To all,
Gary's offer of $50 from Team Thicko was a noble one... and his offer to
pick it up and tow it to Ron, was a magnanimous gesture... but I, the
Flounder of Team Thicko, have determined Gary's ulterior motive. I believe
Ron was a guest of Team Thicko at Road America last summer, and apparently
was the first to discover that Gary's "948" Sprite race car was sporting a
1275 for the weekend... and somehow Gary had neglected to mention it to
tech, registration, or other racers.
Now, we've had trouble with Gary's "Cheatin' Dog" activities, and his covert
activities have besmirched Team Thicko's impeccable reputation in the past.
I suspect Gary's offer is an attempt to "buy" further silence from Ron, so
that he may continue in his "Cheatin' Dog" ways.
Say it ain't so Gar...
