Dear stockholders,

I have two figures for you.

1223.

$561.50.

We drove 1223 miles, and spent $561.50 to attend your CART Firestone Firehawk 600k at Texas Motor Speed-way this weekend.

I decided to make it a family outing, and took my wife and son to their first big-league race, and to buy tickets and sit in the grandstands. Three decent tickets on row 38 cost $283.22. We spent $94.28 on two rooms at Motel 6 (where, incidentally, I saw no CART employees). We spent $106 on gasoline. We spent $78 on food. Leaving Saturday morning, returning home Sunday night, I drove 22 hours.

All this just to hear CART CEO Joseph Heitzler-in the press conference explaining why the race was canceled less than two hours before the green flag-say that in the long run, this will ``enhance the product.''
