[BHV] race team meeting on Thursday 12-14-06

[Brian Klotz]

I think that the problem we have at this point is that we have too many 
people with /casual/ interest.  This isn't going to cut it with a formal 
race team.  With something like this, we need people who are willing to 
practice together *every* week, have a strong dedication to a training 
program, communicate frequently, and be willing to make sacrifices to be 
a part of it.  In short, this defines the word *COMMITMENT.*  Bobby is 
offering his time and energies to get this thing off the ground, so if 
you are really /serious/ about being a part of this, get in touch with 
him ASAP!!  I don't know about the rest of the people on this list, but 
there are very few opportunities for me to compete in anything as I get 
older, and the team aspect of training, friendship, working together, 
and encouragement we can give each other is an opportunity I don't want 
to pass up.  Let's get this thing going!!!
