Steve,

After getting into it with the President a year ago over operational
issues and business ethics we parted company.

The group I am involved with and help start in NE, the Sandhills Open
Road Challenge at www.sorcrace.com , is very successful and is already
sold out for this August.

Let me know what other questions you have about this type of stuff.
