RE: hanger Queens (bad alfa turn-out @ "Le Belle Macchine d'Itali a")

hi, 

after reading the flyer i got re: this event, it was *not* clear to me that my
gtv6 would be allowed on the track - it said only for the touring event...
perhaps it should be stated that there is a slot for the lower hp cars, w/25
needed to run the session.  i dint see this anywhere on *my* flyer...mebbe i
missed it - but i've *never* done anything like *that* before!  
;~)

i *do* understand the necessity of keeping the different groups classified per
their power output.

	It is completely False that Alfas are not permitted on the track except
for 
	touring. We have made it clear that not only Alfas, but Lancias, Fiats
, 
	etc., are welcome on the track. Hell we even have motorcycles on the
track. 
	The problem is not enough of them want too. We need a minimum of 25 cars
to 
	create a run session. Since this is Not a race, and very few attending
are 
	professional drivers, for safety reasons due to the high speed nature of
the 
	track we cannot mix these cars with much higher horsepower ones. 

	If you are serious and want to drive on the track, find 24 others that
are 
	willing to pay the track fee and have cars will pass tech inspection for
a 
	high speed track. We will give you a separate run session.
