HUGE difference! Reggie stung out a lot of companies that he owed money to, filed Capter what ever, got them to extend the credit, file....... Arronow sold his companies to other people while the companies were doing well. Then when the new buyer failed he got the company back penies on the dollar. Can not blame him for the buyers not making him sign a non compete.

Do they see something that we don't ???
Seems like Liberty told Reggie what he wanted to hear, then they gave him the shaft. Looks like the shaft is being turned around now, and stuck right up their azz. LMAO

Anyway, looking forward to seeing this (and way much more) gone public in the near future.

Interesting info....kind of needs a thread of its own....

left handed throttles work for me...doesn't seem many of the Fountain Racers in the past have had trouble either....although they do seem to use their right hand to wave the checkered flag!
