Greg,

Nice post and dead on... Its beginning to look like Wall St. & the Banking industry all over again ..... How can they not see what the sportsmen racers are suffering, with lost jobs, increase gas + part prices, entry fees / insurances , etc... What are they thinking ,
to try increase prices at this time ....

Gregg,

That is a great post, of course the top management are not used to SNOW.
And you can not play golf in the snow.

As for who picked the board members, I believe most were hand picked by
the late Walley Parks. Maybe as he got older his judgment of people was
not as good as it should have been.

The President of the United States makes $400,000.00 a year.

Tom Compton makes (from all the reports I have been able to gather) $700,000.00 a year.

What's wrong with this picture????????????????????????

In other words, as much as The President, your Senator, and your US Rep, combined.
