[NSRCA-discussion] D4/D5 Shootout

[mike mueller]

 Verne it looks like the date issue has been solved. Milwaukee has agreed to shift theirs back a week and I think the Shootout is back on.
 The problems you mention about weather is so true. Seems more often than not it plays into it.
 Remember 4 years ago we had 50 fliers show up only to get rained out for the whole weekend.
 We will do all we can to get a good attendance this year. Mike
