[urq] I wish we had more members...

[Todd Phenneger]

Thats interesting Steve,
Where does the $70k go?  I'm have no clue what goes on outside the PNW, I know here the local University Audi dealer sometimes sponsors track days, etc but I thought that was something the dealer did out of their own pocket, not from AofA.

Just curious to know.
Thanks
