[s-cars] S-CAR Nationals Cancelled... but wait, there is more!

[Achint Sandhu]

Hi Guys,

	I mean this with the best of intentions, so please do not take this the wrong
way...

	I'd like to propose a "minimize nationals loss" fund. If we each kick in $20
(just a suggestion), we could help minimize Darin's personal loss in this
matter.

	I know that I personally have got way more than $20 worth from the lists that
Darin has sponsored (and provided ad free) and web sites etc.

	What do you guys think ?

Cheers,
Achint
