Brian...thanks for the moderator comment. Always seems the folks that require the most attention complain the most. You actually tie us up with your R and X rated pics, but hey, that's ok buddy, that's what we do. But don't ever forget we are members too and have our own opinions. Go in peace.

Jay...if you're right in your approach to the Fling, then I'll be the first to say the he!! with it. Some of us have spent money or engaged in time and effort, some more than others, because it was something we did for US. If this is Ed's deal, and we are supposed to follow his way or the highway...then screw it.

Everyone has a story...mine is minor. I recall spending a good deal of time and using my own contacts as a former SCCA Chapter President and as a Safety Steward to help get the ball rolling on the autocross that a few folks thought worthy back at Fling III. I recall countless threads and posts in support like a host of others did. I recall digging deep with a bunch of others from way out here to commercially ship our cars way back over there. And I sure as hell don't recall being stingy donating parts for Jenny's Car or bidding for stuff at the auction beyond their value. A minor role compared to a ton of work put in by ED and others throughout the year and during the Flings themselves. But those minor efforts by folks add up. If Ed and his family don't need the additional efforts, then they don't need to post here asking for help, and they can run it any damn way they want and nothing more needs to be said.

Don't recall anybody individually ever asking for thanks for what they did individually...but dammit if those efforts are ignored, or if doors are slammed if folks dare to share some ideas or, saints preserve me, actually ask some questions.

Now, if that's what Ed wants...ask for folks to throw up some ideas so he can make final decsions, and everyone shut up and not ask any questions...have the balls to say so. Some will go, and some won't. Let's not play games and pretend to ask for input when it's going to be attacked or ignored. That's BS.

Don't know if you're talking for Jay or for Ed. If you're talking for yourself and it's your opinion, then I'll back you 100% for your right to give that opinion even if I don't agree with you. I love you, I'll drink with you, he!!---I'll kiss your a$$ on London's Main Street if it'll bring in a few bucks for some charity...but calm down a bit and let folks have their say.
