[SEL] re National Rally

[Curt Holland]

Reg,
Mighty sorry to hear you are not planning to attend. Certainly wish you 
would reconsider as there are several of us Yanks that are planning on 
attending this National Ralley. We were really looking forward to seeing 
and visiting with you again. Besides you DID provide the best beer at 
last year's beer tasting!
I think it is great that you are questioning the costs associated with 
the event. I find interesting the costs quoted for putting this event 
on. Not being able to display at this event I am curious at the costs 
for being spectators at the Ralley.
And I certainly hope we'll be allowed inside those bloody fences to have 
a closer look and to study all the fine Aussie engines.
