DeTomaso Mailing List: November 2000, Message #103

Yo Matty,
Glad your coming in May, ....but also think about coming in September thats
when we plan to have the sponsored team there.....but we can always use the
course workers and support so I hope you can make either event. 

To answer your question though,  we (TPR) decided this year that we could
not support all three events three months in a row.....(Vegas FunRally/Time
Trials in April, Reno/Lake Tahoe/Virginia City Hill Climb in June and
SS/Nevada Open in May). . .so the decision was to bag the Nevada Open in May
as a team. . .there may be 2-3 individual efforts there (mine included) but
we're not asking or seeking sponsorship money since our commitment to the
next road race is the SilverState in September which we DO have some serious
sponsorship support for.....in other news;

Come on down to San Francisco when you get tired of the northwest rain! <g>
Remember Charles Keating?  The guy who ripped off hundreds of millions of
dollars of old retired ladies saving accounts.............. Well my project
office is in Keating's old S&L offices in San Carlos.  If the walls could
tell stories you'd have to tell the kids to leave the room. . .on this floor
alone there's a huge wet bar, wine cellar, tennis courts, hot tub and
jacuzzi, work out room, etc and this was ALL in his PERSONAL
OFFICE....apparently there was a huge circular bed but they took it
out..........his offices took up the entire 4th floor.  
MD, another job they never told you about in high school!
