[Spridgets] Invitation

[Bud Osbourne]

We'd love to see you there, Ron.  Hopefully you'll be able to make the
schedule work for you, some year.  I know a lot of guys agonize between PVGP
and Elkhart Lake, on the same weekend.  That date conflict is very
unfortunate, but we (PVGP) have had the third weekend in July for the
longest and it isn't likely we can (or would) ever change it.
Since PVGP became it's own sanctioning body, a couple of years ago, we've
been seeing a growing number of Spridgets and MGs in general, as well as
various Triumphs.  I'm looking forward to seeing even more, this year.

I don't know of anyone who's raced the PVGP who didn't love it. The timing
is always horrendous for me, but I really hope to participate one day.
