Mr. Authur, I know this is totally off topic, but I need to compliment you. Your use of smileys is exceptional. I didn't even know we have that weight lifter guy in the arsenol.

Run for Vp to start, get some allies and then go for pres. when your pres. you will have the old guys nagging at you for awhile but they'll get over it. just be respectfull and listen to everyones opinions. they are members too and if you try and dismiss them completely you will make many enemys. best of luck to ya I know what your getting into!!
thanks I dont know if i will ever make it as high as pres but I dont mind trying!!

Sweet!

I travel to VA frequently. In fact I'm going up there this weekend. Do you have a club website? If you'r not to far off the beaten path(I-95), I'll try to stop by on Sunday on my way back to Goldsboro. Let me get some motor work done on my Kaos and that'll probably get the old timers jummpin for joy.... at least until I take off like THIS While screaming at the top of my lungs SNAP-A-SAURUS BAD ASS!!!(ok, maybe not, I don't want you to get kicked out for having me as a guest)
