Rich...Thank you so much for that!...I'm sure we all share those feelings.

Reminds me of the line from the Steve McQueen movie, Le Mans.

....." Racing is life....all else is just waiting."

Rich: that poem pretty much says it all, I have tried to go to some of the races, especially Key West where I have so much history, but can not afford the VIP passes @ $300.00 plus per person to be able to sit with the people in the know, I asked for passes and was turned down and asked for my credit card info. for billing. Thank you John C. After some deliberation, I cancelled all plans for my wife and I to ever attend Key West races again, I guess all history comes to an end at some point, I hope to write my book sometime. 7XCHAMP

I know what you mean - J C - has a price for everything - guess thats why - I dont go there too - and while filimng years ago - it got to the point that he almost had to be paid off in order to fly over airspace that was free for all - its called playing in the "public Domain" - no wonder there are several "world Champ" events -

In the early years - like when the Routboards, Wishnicks, and Magoon were around - they wanted the exposure - they would do anything to help people like me - or anyone to enjoy the boat races - ie: the Clidesdale Horses or Blue Angles - etc. - Can't blame you - or anyone for not going to Key West -

my two cents - but at least those that wanted me to film - still can view the tapes -

Phil

so much for KW

Dear Phil M,

Are you still selling the "old school" DVD's or do I have to contact T2X? I got a few from you over the years and would like to purchase a few more. Please advise.

Thanks,

John
