Oh, fun and class wins are still the same thing to me. When I say "fun", I really mean "not winning anything of substance". All of this is for fun even if I manage to win the class. As a friend...

OK, well, since there don't seem to be many that can or will respond, I guess I'll dump what I've figured out here to see if that generates any conversation.

It is my understanding that they are using a European image since it does not have the same restrictions. Personally, I'm counting on that.

No problem. You were making a very valid point. Knowing people that are already involved in some way is a good way to help reduce the costs. The old "I know a guy" model does help for sure.
