DeTomaso Mailing List: May 2000, Message #99

Dan and others -

Regarding support of track events, the brochure for the just completed Vegas
Track Event listed 5 sponsors, this year the list included POCA.  Last year's
financial difficulties precluded POCA from being a direct contributor, but the
did contributed indirectly to last year's event.

PCNC has an active Sponsorship project for Track Events which has helped to keep
participant costs very low.  For more details please contact me off-line.

Thanks,
Bill Santos
Sponsorship Chairman
2000 Track Event Committee
