[Dave Ribeiro]

Ed & Eddy,

I agree with what both of you are saying, I don't like buy-backs either ... But , I think it's best to try something & make comments afterwards , rather than not going at all ... Seems like we are always
looking at the dark side first & not giving this race a chance ...
We know that everyone can't & won't make this race, for different reasons ... Don't you think it's the wrong way to look at this Race,
the entry - fee looks right, 5K looks good ... No Race in Div. 1 & 2 going
on that I know of, I can understand why Div 3 guys aren't coming ?

So what's the problem ( buy-backs) then don't buy-back , but support the race .... Remember we have been asking for Big money races for years,
well now we have one so let's support the people who support us ?
Also , this being the very first 5K IHRA money race, they are still trying to sort things out ... Let's make this Race a big success , so we can change some things for the next race @ VMP ....
Remember , it's all about having choices on where we can race in the future & who supports the Sportsmen racers... Come do your part
& make this a yearly event ... What do you say , lets get this off to a good start , see you @ MIR ....
