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

[Robert Myers]

Darin,

Your good news is a big help.  My $20 will be in your <editor at s-cars.org>
PayPal account shortly.  If you end up receiving more than your losses I,
for one and probably every other contributor, will be happy for you to use
the excess for list expenses already incurred or to come in the future.  Or
for a nice cold one or two for that matter.

Like many I had not planned to make it to the event but I still want to
help support the list.  I was waiting to see just how much might be needed.
