Potpourri: Timing has become a problem with the newsletter. HRP is kind enough to do the printing for the club, but we must wait for them to find time to do it. Also, using bulk mail allows the postal service to deliver the newsletter whenever they feel like it. Bulk mail costs about 1/2 as much as 1st class. HRP has the June issue, it will be sent in a 8 1/2 x 11 plastic sheet. Ken also has an exclusive interview scheduled with the new PCA Executive Director Vu Nguyen.
Events:
The June 10th event at the Jacobs was cancelled do to lack of interest. The Jacobs and Whites had put a lot of work into a rally and it was a shame more people did not respond.
The Dyno session in May had only 2 cars use the Dyno. A few other people showed up to watch
