Hey guys,

I have a question for you. For the meeting - we discussed it being those people who had raced the minimum to qualify for the race team. that is who I sent the invite to. I just got a request from Barry to invite butch. He feels that it will be a motivation for butch to race and that butch will be a huge asset to a master's team next year.

At first glance, I had thought okay, but then I thought a little more. That is why I want your input. Should we invite Butch? I first thought it wouldn't harm anything, but then I thought that Butch has repeatedly told me he was coming to a particular race this year. Each time - no Butch. I thought back and I doubt that he has raced 10 races in the 3 years I have been actively racing. I know he will have ball at least half a year next year and not be able to race or train until June. Will inviting him really change things?

Am I making more out of this that I should? I know we may also speak about what to do with sponsorship money. In the past that has been awkward to discuss around those who will not be getting the goods.

Your thoughts will guide my decision. I tend to be spiteful lately, just can't help myself.

He would be an asset if he raced with you guys.....IF.....I mean if he has been busy this year, he will certainly be busy again next year. I say 'NO' to the A squad and yes to the B squad. He can come to the next 'full' CBR meeting to get his motivation.

Thank you.

Butch can BURN IN FIERY HELLFIRE for all eternity!!!!!!!! BURN BUTCHY BOY!!!!! BURNNNN!N!!!!!!!!! No, but seriously, I think that inviting Butch will only help Butch. It won't help us. I'm not .... oh wait... I have to do it again.... BUTCH!!!! BUTCHBUTCHBUTCHBUTCH!!!!!! AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA! Oh. Okay, okay. I'm done with that, but for real, if we invite him then we are really sort of lowering our standards, aren't we? I mean, I'm all for giving someone some motivation, but he really didn't race enough to get on the A squad.
