RE: The Valley Audi Association

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Given QCUSA's reluctance to release any meaningful information in
response to our (sometimes heated) requests, maybe we should investigate
increasing the scope of this organization. It sounds like the kind we
are all looking for.

Wonder what their track program looks like? NHIS is pretty close, as is
Lime Rock...

'Course it might be a case of "Keep them damn flatlanders down there
where they belong / Tourists please stay home and just mail your cash to
us", but they may welcome the additional Audi nuts (that *IS* a
psychiatric term).
