Team Beach?

May 20th, 2006

I received the following email this week:

Dear Sir,
Our concern occurs on many levels.
-The lack of race dates
-The lack of identified course
The fact that there are no racing sanctions associated with this race.
The fact that I may receive no Winston Cup points toward my participation
-The fact we are thinking of buying a 1964 Ford Falcon stationwagon to kick your collective asses
