$180,000.

Having gone along with the race for five years,
1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 & 2002...

I find it particularly difficult to understand
how anyone would have signed up for the 2003
race.

The simple fact that the 2002 event was run was
a miracle - if not for the backroom dealings
between MW and a local Va. Beach businessman, the
"helicopter bill fiasco" would have been this race's
swan song!

$5,000 For a Boat, Transportation and 2 Hotel Rooms
for the entire race? Mary - You are ALL OVER IT!

My question is = In those five years - there is NO
WAY
that this man could have possibly spent $180,000
combined, if he then had NO expense (No race) for 2003...

Mike, Where is the Money?
