Glen; Putting up the $$$ for the FIA has and would be up to those who feel
they might want the FIA there. I have only been going to the salt yearly
since '76 but I would guess the weather has not changed in it's
unpredictability much since '53. Yes I do appreciate the long hard hours of
work that you and many others have put in, and I can not understand how you
would be offended by anything written in my post. Perhaps you can point out
my transgression. Profit also is an issue that I do not understand being
part of this issue. Generally speaking I still think this string should go
back to the separate list it once was on, that I won't read it and will not
offend anyone with ideas not from home. Rich Fox
