No, wrong. You asked me to be honest. I was. There would be no doubt about losing me or not, and that ain't really the point. It is a choice I have to make, Cuba Run vs. my chances of winning my area qualifier. I look at the Cuba Run as an opportunity of a lifetime (item checked off of the 'ole bucket list). I look at my chances of winning the elims a long shot. Additionally, I usually follow through on my commitments.

I plan to be at Steeplechase and Tradewinds, so I would like to hear everyones thoughts on this. The question is, is the Cuba Run going to be the real deal? It does seem like it is not being taken too seriously. . .

I'm guessing that nobody probably knew the date of the Cuba Run when the elim date was picked. My original question was simple, was the Cuba Run date taken into consideration? It was a fair assumption that it might have been an oversite.
