Geo,
No problem. we'll see what we can do to have a pull together. We
produced a couple of events with another tractor pulling group out of
CT last year. They went pretty well. We know about the other
motorcycle pulling group you are talking about. We are friends of
there. Michigan Motorcycle Entertainment. They also pull with us in
the other series that we pull in. It's the Easyriders motorcycle
rodeo. They have events in NY, MI, NC, PA, OH. We have been pulling
in that series for about 7-8yrs now. Thanks for the help and
information. It's definitely takes a team effort.

David
