Wow, good job on the part of lots of PRP regulars at the Pro Am this past weekend! Way to go, Josh! Good job, Donnie! Lots of others in late rounds from what I heard! There are a lot of great things about PRP and I am glad people were seeing them.
Not wanting to resurrect anything but I have to add two points because I have been trying for years to get them across to some people. 1) If you are not willing to post under your own name, I have no time for your thoughts! 2) Having an opinion and stating it is not attacking anyone or anything, if done politely. It will NEVER sit well with me to hear that anyone has been told to stop saying what they think (or, in the old days, having the forum shut down every time someone said something that was seen as negative). We are customers of PRP and our opinions should, and I believe do, matter to them. I don't believe that any "old boys club" was the reason for past problems. As often as not, when changes are made to try to correct deficiencies, someone will not like them. There were efforts last year to correct some of the problems. The efforts did the job but people did not like the changes. This year, a better solution has been found. It is not specifically about the people who once worked there or the ones who work there now (including me). There were good people before and there are good people now. There is simply a new focus on certain aspects which seems to be well received. I know, as does Joan, I'm sure, that Michael wants to have the best place to race and put on the best events anywhere! I think that is happening and we are all happy about it!

Glenn and JoanGood One, Jeff!
My computer genius friend has deduced that Happy Feet also posts as Enforcer...I wish his Mom had given him a real name so he could be a Real Boy...
Great job, Nick - you don't need pictures when they give you $$

Ma Brewer-ChristineMike Egan's Grandpap passed away.
"Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. My grandfather passed away Saturday morning, just hours after his 80th birthday. He was one of the most straight-shootin, honest, respectable people I have ever known. He will be missed. I love you Grandpa!"
Sending our deepest sympathy to The Egan Family.
