Replies below. Matt Murray Trust me, I don't know what I wrote there either. Maybe I menat that he and SCCA agreed to not agree on Steve's programs, and he is now moving forward with a revised/better
I really can't see how SCCA could provide the backing for this series in the way C&D can. It's great how it is, and I'm really happy for Steve, because he's been working on this for a long time. I al
Great job, Steve! http://www.precisionracing.org Btw, am I the only one sitting back this year and realizing someone in the National office needs a swift kick in the back side? And I'm not referring

Look mom, I'm agreeing with a Kelly publically! Yeah, looks like that to me as well. I'd say that PRo is going after more than just your normal autocrosser. Looking at Drifting or even HPDE folks, I
