[DeTomaso] Future Home of Fun Rally?

[Christopher Kimball]

Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to operate under the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" way of thinking.  I really liked having the rally in Las Vegas, even though it was a four-day drive.  In fact, the road trip there and back was part of the adventure.  Now that it is in Reno, it is only a two-day drive, which in a way makes the trip a little less adventurous.  That being said, I really like the Reno venue, and Circus Circus has some nice amenities, such as the availability of Froot Loops all day and all night!

Perhaps it's a result of the "sound byte" world in which we live, but it seems as though more and more people feel the need to change things just for the sake of change.  I guess I don't get bored that easily, and there is something comforting in the familiar.

Just my two-cents-worth.

Sincerely,

Chris 
President, Panateras Northwest
