[Land-speed] Correction to newbie article

[dan warner]

Otto,
 
I read you four part article.
 
What you don't realize is that back in '06 when you recommended the third
track there were only 2 or 3 of the board members who watched landracing.com.
 
I did take your idea to the board and with refinements and added personnel it
became a reality. In the 2011 season, with available ground, a fourth course
will be tried. I have been doing this for over forty years and have never
asked for recognition for any ideas I have suggested and were put into place.
 
Please consider this email as your long over due pat on the back. Do you
require any compensation from the highly paid volunteers?

Some of you have responded to my article and I'm revising it seems  as the
lines are no longer the problem that they were when I ran in 06.   The third
track took care of the problem.

Gee, I remember when I recommended a third track on this very list  back in
06 and everybody laughed me off the list siting how it would never work 
and all the reasons why it could never work.  Anybody else remember when I 
recommended it and the overwhelming response I got to the negative???   
Dahlgren?  Ed Weldon? The old guy in the timing booth,  Gene??

Guess who's laughing as all the stupidity now?

Contrary to overwhelming belief, I'm good for the sport.  How  did 3 tracks
work out for you?  I even layed them out just the way they  ended up. Did I
ever get credit?  No, the contrary, you all  laughed at me. I understand
what it takes to put a successful event  together and how to keep EVERYBODY
happy, year round.  I didn't become a  self made millionaire by making stupid
decisions but you don't want my  help.  No problem. I'm back to my first
love, drag racing and turning low  9's in a steel Model A street legal coupe. 
You should see the improvements  I put into the track.  Everybody loves them.

You do have to admit, I bring EXCITEMENT to the list!!!  Ok,  go back to
being bored, mad and negative.  You all relish in  it.
See ya, again!
