Bob, thank for note. It=E2=80=99s a crazy time in our history. We were so ex=
cited to help so many people get funded that other email really was hurtful.=
It goes with being in public. Hopefully we will be racing at Indy and mid- o=
hio. We will be putting out all the steps we are taking to try and make it s=
afer than going shopping to buy groceries. Safe safe, TP
