[Shotimes] SEATTLE CONVENTION

[Ian Fisher]

Apparently a road course is going to be built in a
town (Millville) which is about 20 minutes from my
house. If that happens and when it happens, I think we
should have a Philadelphia Convention. (15 min. from
my house) which puts the road course about an hour or
less away from Philly.
