[Jim Gray]

What ? !
Hey CHIP
Sorry to dilute your gene pool

in the CORE group. As far as
being a real racer....BS
I'll see you at Heartland Park

Henry, 

Well said . I would strongly
agree with your perspective!
This group is far
from what it used to be and I
miss the core group of real
racers and
discourse about real Triumph
racing topics as well. The
continued dilution
of this venue by taking it to
an even more public arena will
virtually wipe
out any semblance of its
original sound, productive,
and rewarding
experience.

Hopefully the support is
