Yes. I thought Tony Parella worked well with you. The biggest issue that I s=
aw as with the Mid-Ohio Track Management.  I was hoping the culture had chan=
ged after 20 years, but it hadn=E2=80=99t.  Nightmare.

All things considered, we ended up looking very good as a group. In spite of=
 the adverse circumstances.

I have reason to believe that SVRA will work very well with Curt Johnston at=
 Sonoma in 2024. They want us there.   And other factors.
