Hi David.

I promise to post the date of the race. I just need to ship my car out there and find a date. Would love to see you in Las Vegas. There is a buy-out available to him, but it's still a ton of money -- he could buy a couple more Kirkham's. This is in the community of LV gamblers, so you don't just walk away from a bet.

On the question of why would I make the bet, when I made it I genuinely didn't know who would win. I still don't -- hence my questions to this community. Some of the responses think the Kirkham will win -- and remember it only has to be 1 out of 3. It wasn't a sucker bet. And if it were, he wanted to make it.
