***Famoso Last Ditch Effort***???

Since my Paypal account shows zero, I suspect there is a small chance we can save Famoso.

Are there any other Southern California guys (gals) interested in the 1/4 Mile??

A number of us have offered to try to make up the financial short fall, and I have not heard back from Mo, so there may be a small chance we can still make this happen

If anyone is interested, please sign up immediately

If you have already signed up, and are willing to kick in, post up

If you are an innocent bystander, with money burning a hole in your pocket, and want to simply donate, let us know here.

I will kick in an extra $300 today on top of the registration fee that has been paid. Anyone else want this bad enough???
