Skip, does not matter to me, all accomodations sounds swell (I adopted that 
word,
did not grow up with it), if something else gets organized, please let me know

Glen, of course, if fact, we owe you a hell of alot more than a beer, I truly 
feel
an enormous amount of gratitude toward you and the rest who dedicate themselves 
to
making land speed racing happen, matter of fact you could probably get at least 
a
full meal out of me, and I would be damned  (that word, I did grow up 
with)happy to
share one with you.

Keith, whatever works my man, keep us informed, the logistics at the corner 
seemed
easy, kinda like the old corner hangouts of the real hot rodding days, who ever
comes comes, pretty soon if your hip you show up, or something like that, I too
have to get off the salt at the days end and soak up airconditioning and eat 
real
food for a couple hours, before the evenings end, camping on the corner or in 
the
motel, we usually do both, splitting the $, every other night camping, any way 
let
us know what comes of it Cool Daddy (was that a catchy name "back in the day"?)
