Now Henry... I won't mess with no NON stinking electric thing and stick to
my dead dinosaurs for Power...
You don't mess with Alabama.... this state don't have room for more then 13
folks that can read and write at one time.... (spelling is optional)
And as your writing those rules... make sure they require at Least ONE
Purple SFI 15 Firesuit.... designed for a person about 6' .... I will make
one availble at a reasonable price... after all this abuse I may have to
order another one in something like RED OR BLACK or WHITE.... anything but
Purple....
Keith ( see PS to follow)
Post Script....
Henry I honestly think this is a good idea... you have about 6 months to
come up with a logical and intelligent argument about your style of
racing....
I think were we went wrong on the Rotary thing was the lack of documented
paperwork that gave everyone Plenty of time to make these changes.... or the
lobbying effort required to make the rule change amoung the committee
members. I can hear Dave from here as he reads this... but the truth
remains that this is a political organization and one has to have those
ducks in a row as well to effect a change.
As for the FIA thing.... bud that is on you... you have to come up with a
reason you want their recognition.... Personally I don't care about them.
They don't have a thing to do with my interest in this hobby.... If they
don't want to accept the govererning body and recognize the records... shame
on them... who cares.... I will still get a red hat and the respect of my
peers .... even if the red hat didn't happen.... ( I trust Glen's clocks...
that is all that matters... as do my peers)
Keith ( yeah Malcom I am ducking.....)
