There also would be a beer-only bar near the camel race arena where the games and contests would take place. Norby estimated 1000 bikers would come to the event but said he was preparing for 2000. He had planned to have camping including tent camping on the Savage mine site off of F Street which is what brought the most objections from residents. The event was approved with the conditions that Norby stop the music at 10 p. instead of midnight as originally planned that there be no tent camping that the event end Sunday night that he provide reimbursement to the sheriff’s office for overtime costs and that he discourage the motorcyclists from cruising through residential areas. Commission Chairman Greg "Bum" Hess said the county received about 10 letters opposed to the event and one in favor while all three commissioners County Manager Pat Whitten and County Sheriff Jim Miller said they received phone calls and e-mails most in opposition… instead of midnight as originally planned that there be no tent camping that the event end Sunday night that he provide reimbursement to the sheriff’s office for overtime costs and that he discourage the motorcyclists from cruising through residential areas. Commission Chairman Greg "Bum" Hess said the county received about 10 letters opposed to the event and one in favor while all three commissioners County Manager Pat Whitten and County Sheriff Jim Miller said they received phone calls and e-mails most in opposition. Hess said most of the concerns had to do with camping in residential areas and the solemnity of the Memorial Day weekend when the nation traditionally remembers its war dead. Cathylee James a manager of the Comstock Wild Horse and Mining Museum and Air Force veteran initially opposed the event on the basis that Memorial Day was meant to honor the nation’s fallen soldiers and a motorcycle event was not appropriately solemn. However she changed her position when Norby agreed to end the event on Sunday. Flanagan made it clear he would not support the event under any circumstances. "The biggest thing is that the businesses wouldn’t get any business that week and they would be off of the main street" he said.

“Teams are developing talent at the higher level” Jadotte said. “The driver diversity program is focused on developing drivers at the lower end of the sport. Andy Santerre an owner in the Camping World Series isn’t sure that’s enough. He said there were no female drivers in last weekend’s opener at Greenville-Pickens Speedway and that NASCAR isn’t putting enough money into the program to make it work. “They only pay $200000 for the whole season” he said. “It takes $750000 to be a top Camping World team. They’re going to have to spend a lot more money to make it work… He said there were no female drivers in last weekend’s opener at Greenville-Pickens Speedway and that NASCAR isn’t putting enough money into the program to make it work. “They only pay $200000 for the whole season” he said. “It takes $750000 to be a top Camping World team.

He’s more about newspapers than rolling papers
Globe and Mail – Apr 25, 2008
Part of the inspiration for this film was that during our press tour for the first movie Kal was getting pulled aside a lot. One time he had a white friend travelling with him and Kal got pulled aside by security but the friend who had just come back from a camping trip and had a big camping knife on him went right through security. It was really weird. Why are there still so few leading parts for Asian-Americans? The easy answer is that the producers probably don’t want to take a risk because the percentage of Asians in the U. is small – but we in the Asian community have to take some responsibility too in that unlike African Americans who buy entertainment products geared specifically for them Asian Americans haven’t been that organized.
