What I dont understand is why BMWO didnt go out anyway, if they where ready what is stopping them from actually going out to the startline?

Saying you are ready is one thing, actually doing it another...

(btw, I just re-sent the email I sent to BMWO a few days ago to see USA17, I hope this time I will actually get a reply).
