IF YOU'RE WILLING TO HELP, LET ME KNOW


General

Johnny, I think you are exactly right in your assessment of the Legend. I am glad you have given this the appropriate thought and allowed the rest of us to also mull over the best way to structure this venture. In fact, the more I think about it, the better off we maywell be if the Legend has absolute control of this organization. He could be like a czar or benevolent dictator. Rather than the rest of the group being employees, we could be independent contractors with no benefits due, except the benefit of associating with the Legend. He would be wise, also,to keep all the stock closely held and never let this organization go public. We certainly would not want to be accountable to any race fans as we craft our various responses. I am also thinking that Mr. Gibbs and Mr.Penske might appreciate being allowed to have a few "sponsors" underwrite the cost of some of the various "response packages" so that their drivers' outbursts and actions do not impose undue financial burden on their racing organizations. I am thinking, also, that if the Legend sees those two car owners having considerable success selling sponsorship of the response packages, perhaps he might go behind the backs of Gibbs and Penske and offer their sponsors an even larger "response package" at a higher cost wherein all profits went directly to the OBBAMA organization. I think he would have success stealing these sponsors from Gibbs and Penske if he promised the underwriting sponsors that by buying into the package, they could be eligible to provide excuses to other car owners. For instance... suppose in 2012 at Talladega if Duck Boy suddenly decides he wants to put Bad Brad in the grandstands. Voila, Jack Roush can participate by purchasing an excuse from the large package already underwritten by the former Gibbs and Penske response sponsors. Or suppose Darian Grubb, while standing in the pits of his new employer, elects to throw a wrench through Tony Stewart's windshield. Voila, the new car owner for which Grubb is working will have access for an appropriate fee to a viable excuse for Darian destroying Smoke's windshield. There is no doubt Legend has come up with a real money maker. There are tworeasons we need absolute secrecy about this project: 1) We don't want Brian France to find out and try to horn in on the profits. 2) We don't want our wives finding about this and expecting to share in the revenue stream.

I would also suggest that the founding members of the response group be eligible for a companyunderwritten health plan. Perhaps it could be named "OBBAMA CARE!"

Let's hope the SEC doesn't require any language to be added to the proposal that would mandate our group pay a substantial premium to any opposing car owner, driver or crew member, media memberor fan who engageseither or both of the brothers in a headlock, punches them, tackles them, or in any other way physically overpowers them within or without the confines of a racetrack. If so, that could prove costly to our profit structure. Be careful with your wording, please.

Legend, this is one of the better ideas to come out of the Lair think tank. I am on board and would be priviliged to contribute a small part to this braintrust. I guess we ought to immediately begin churning out a supply of responses. They'll need plenty andmuch better ones. I've always respected Roger Penske, but that lame response that Kurt's remarks didn't represent the reputation of Penske Racing was stupid. That's exactly what it did... it not only represented the reputation of Penske Racing, it lowered a reputation crafted by folks like Mark Donohue and Don Miller. Heck, as a fund raising tool,we ought tohave some pins and bumper stickers made up to sell in Charlotte this coming Labor Day Weekendto unsuspecting Democrats congregating at the Nomination Festivities around the NASCAR Hall of Fame Plaza. Those items would read "I'm On Board OBBAMA!" and they'd be happy and so would we! I forsee a bright future for our Legend.

REMEMBERING A FORMER CAR OWNER AND FRIEND


General

Thanks for posting and sharing, LaVerne. Our pioneers are numbering fewer and fewer. What wonderful tales Mr. King must have related to you about the early days of stock car racing. Our condolences to his family and to you on the loss of your friend.
