In defense of the student. I am 99.99999% (ok 100%) sure that my student had no idea and was not part of this. My student was trying very hard to learn and was taken advantage of. In fact I agree that the entrant does owe something. An apoligy to my student.

I know that this isn't ended yet and I will do everything I can to make sure lessons are learned and the situation never comes up again.

I also know that if anyone has a good solid IT7 for sale, I have a student that wants it and wants to race.

So all in all, what started as a bad situation that could have turned worse became a positive for my student and we will have another IT7 driver soon. After all, we're a family and we watch out for each other.

BTW: Jim, ain't gonna happen, no way, no how !!! However I do know of a certian red, white and blue IT7 that I'm gonna drive a circle around next time just for fun.
