DV - I see you called my cell. I called the shop this AM about 8:15 and they said to try back around 9 or later. If you see this and haven't heard from me yet, give me a call. By the way, I gave you my cell (440/479-6878) but during normal work hours I'm at 440/395-0370.

Sorry I missed you!

Are you going to cancel the Double Venom held in the summer in London, OH? Or are you not sure at this point. It is VERY hard to find information on your site about any of these upcoming events except to look in the forum. Thanks. Di

other threads said MAY 1st will be the decision GO/NO GO date relative to DVSF being in London/Columbus. The go/no go is based on whether or not the Columbus sniper is apprehended by then. If he/she/they are still on the loose as of May 1st, then two alternate locations away from Columbus are still being considered . hope this helps. Bill

ALL--

I THINK IT IS CRAZY TO THINK THAT IF THE SPRING IS CANCELED MAY 1ST ANOTHER ONE CAN BE THROWN TOGETHER IN SEVEN WEEKS--

AT LEASE FOR OUR EVENT, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF "THE SNIPER" IS CAUGHT OR NOT--- PLEASE UNDERSTAND I WANT THIS NUT LOCKED UP--- BUT, AS I SAID, FOR THE FLING I DON'T GIVE A DAMN- I'LL BE IN COLUMBUS-- I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE POPULAR ATTITUDE. BUT A DAMN IDIOT IS NOT GOING TO HOLD STOP ME FROM LIVING MY LIFE.

ED, PLEASE EXCUSE MY FORWARDNESS-- EITHER SCHEDULE IT OR CANCEL IT --- PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE VACATION PLANS THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, SOME PEOPLE ARE BUSTING ASS TO GET READY AND SOME PEOPLE ARE CLOSE TO ARE REACHING
THE DREAM "DRIVING THE COBRA TO THE FLING" THEY DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL MAY 1--

IN THE PAST YOU HAVE LEFT THINGS UP TO THE "FAMILY" TO VOTE ON. WE ARE ADULTS AND CAN MAKE UP OUR OWN MINDS ABOUT ATTENDING--IF PEOPLE FEEL INTIMIDATED OR AFRAID DON'T COME-- IF THEY CATCH THE NUT -- COME ON AND JOIN US-- I SEE NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT LET THE GROUP MAKE THE DECISION ON THIER OWN -- IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THEN CANCEL IT AND ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP THE BALL -- YOU STARTED THIS EVENT ED--NOW IT'S TO BIG TO LET DIE-- I'M ASKING YOU TO RECONSIDER YOUR MAY 1 DO OR DIE DEADLINE-- WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE OUR OWN MINDS UP--

THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO VENT---

MIKE

MIke,
NO one is trying to throw this together in a few days...no one. MAy 1st was choosen for more reasons than I can go into. Everything is in place or will be, with more than ample time.

For those that will come, the May 1 date should mean nothing to you except what hotel to call.

There are so many things surrounding this event that I CAN NOT and WILL NOT go into on a public forum.


Mike, I hope you feel at least a little bit better, and I hope you will just trust in what we are doing.

Ed "DV" Combs...we ALL need to vent!

Thanks Ed-- for allowing me to vent--

My only concern is that if the fling is XLD May 1st we may not be able to put it together, for this year. As you know-- this takes a lot of work and a great deal of effort-- I'm commited to being in Columbus or where ever it's held--

This ass has not fired on anyone for awhile. If he doesn't start shooting cars again -- we cancel-- but who in their right mind would want him to start shooting--

I will set back and trust those who need to make the decisions and hope for the best---

mike

Thanks much for your answer. I'll keep watch here to see what unfolds for London/Columbus.

DV some time ago anounced that the Fling is on. The only twist is where. Here in London/Columbus or in the Cleveland area. Jack May really stepped up to bat and was able to do an amazing amount of planning for the Cleveland area in a very short period of time. Personally I think the May 1 date on where the Fling is going to be is plenty of time for the participants. Organizers....... well, it will be tough! I am just happy that it is going on although I will admit that the waiting is difficult with all the anticipation.

I am really excited to hear what the plan "3" is!

So the date of the fling is approx the third weekend in June then? Just where is the question. Cleveland sounds fine also if necessary. Understand the concern about the shooter. Thanks.

I saw last night on the news that they have identified the person they feel is the shooter. They had his face, car and lience plate all over the news. It appears they are pretty confident that this is the guy. Well now they know who they are looking for all they have to do is find him. Lets all pray they catch him and the Spring Fling can go on as normal in London where it was born.

Here's to wishing the police good luck in getting this guy. It would be a shame to let a knucklehead like him put a damper on such an enjoyable and charitable event as DVSF.

I guess the capture of this sniper means the London event will be on. Hurray!
