Andy has had excuses for a while as to why he won't go to the IT Fest or the ARRC. Now it seems to be a money issue. Yeah, it can be expensive, we spent around 10,000 last year with 2 cars to do the Fest. Most of that was crash damage to one car, blown motor in the other and Dr. bills. Say maybe a budget of 4000 for one car to do it all out, practice day etc.

I'm willing to write a check for 500 to Andy if he can get other backers. The only condition would be that he pays it back if he doesn't win.

Come on Andy it really is a fun weekend, good racing, good people. Wish we could have enjoyed it more.
