If Tom, Tommy, Everett and Derek are in I have to be in. $25,000,000 / 5 = $5,000,000 each. Please don't tell my wife. You guys wire me the money and I will handle.

How small a restrictor plate would the cup boys have to use to run a 7.5 mile oval? If I could get a Sprint Cup show, I could pay the thing off after the first race (Fontana, eat your heart out).

The jokes were cute, but I'm still wondering why Honda is selling it.
1. They save money by renting someone else's track? Where?
2. They have a track in another location?
3. They got arrogant and really think they know it all already?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Honda has said they are concentrating their R&D at their Ohio track.

When I got an e-mail about that track I called one guy whose track proposal was just turned down near Willow Springs. His assistant laughed and said I was the third call of the day, and there were numerous e-mails. There may be one track player.

This is the first I've read about Fairmont Butte. Not much marketing going on there.

Yes! I have taken worse. I won a race in Canada in the late 70's and got a check drawn on a Canadian bank. It took me six months to get the money. I know you are better than them!
