We put the message out and within two days, Tom filled up the entire field. It’s a really really great track time you have eight hours of track time it’s $325 $350 or something like that for eight hours of track time with the cap of 10 cars so you’d have the whole track for eight hours. Man what a great deal, Tom thanks for putting that together. We are (uh) looking at taking some folks up for a tour. If you just want to go up to the day and (and) watch (um) I’ll put something out here. You might just want to give me a email, text message, give me a call that you might be interested and if so we have enough people we’ll take a trip up there and watch the guys do their laps. We won’t get any track time and we won’t get any seats but we’ll go up it’ll be a great day just to go up to the track.
