Kirk,
Just trying to get info while it is still fresh. I knew Tom was not on
vacation because of his posts on BRAKES! Not trying to incite an e-mail
riot, just looking for the facts on the event. Some of us still enjoy
hearing about these significant Tiger events that we are unable to attend.
>From my subsequent e-mails with Tom, he seemed to understand and did'nt
take offense to my questions. Maybe I was spoiled by the coverage of last
years TU/Eureka. Some may recall the quick response and detailed coverage
provided by several Websites (STOA, M. Olsen & Norm's Rootes Group). It
was great to see the official results of the points events and to review
thru text and pictures the event as a whole. In fact, the "AFTERGLOW"
lasted for quite sometime. It has been only two weeks, so I may have
jumped the gun and I'm sure the goods are about to be delivered. My thread
on TAC was only positive and from the information I have been able to
receive the TAC program is off to a good start for the East Coasters.
