Bob, Too many Bob's, I'm confused! I'll met the incoming group wherever is
necessary and still hope to bring a group of our folks to meet them. If we
reach Detroit early enough I thought that I'd take them over to Greenfield
Village or The Henry Ford Museum, both of which are world class and well
known. As both facilities are basically side by side it would be their
choice. As I mentioned in an earlier message the plans are to stay at the
same hotel just west of Detroit that was used by the participants in the
Great Race. If you have someone in Ohio that's interested maybe that's the
way to go as it sounds like Toronto is not interested. I'll drop them off
anywhere as long as it's not a 200-300 mile ride.
   I cannot imagine the turmoil you must be going through trying to put
everyone and everything in place.

You do bring up a question that needs to be addressed - if people are
charged $45us, will they be interested if they are just driving their home
state or province.  Based on the feedback from my own local sector, it
sounds like this would not be a problem PROVIDED there is good value - and
that value comes from the intangible (camaraderie, etc.) as well as the
tangible (goodie bag, events, etc.)

Your other point brings back to my overly expressed opinion about getting
ASC's in place.  We had coordinators on BOTH sides of you, but both had
resigned without someone to take their place, and neither stepped up to the
plate to find someone.  This leaves the Tour hanging while we find another
SC for these areas, or re-route - while we should be getting on with more
detailed planning.

But to more specifically address your comments, upstream of you I have been
corresponding with the Wisconsin Jaguar club.  They don't have an individual
in place, but hope to soon.

On the other side of you, I sent out a note earlier this week (or was it a
few weeks ago) about routing from you south of Lake Erie to Toronto rather
than north of Lake Erie as there did seem some interest down there.  Really
did not get much feedback.  I also asked the question was were you
interested in taking on a longer Sector - I thought you had sent a reply but
cannot seem to find it at the moment - could I trouble you to resend?  I did
have some correspondence this week from the Toronto area, but no-one has
committed as of yet (but it did sound very promising).
