For those of you that were wondering how my day at the races went Saturday, let me tell you that it was a first time success. I'll quickly touch on the fact that it was awesome to meet Jim Dunn in person. I also had the honor of meeting Tony Barone and watching him command Johnie Lightning to qualifying for Sunday's race.
At trackside "DeliDog" from Janesville, Wis. stood live on Paltalk in Willy's Room to cover the race. He was flanked by Two other regulars from Paltalk, "Carpetme" and "Waoleye". Also, There were an array of other shareholers present that I briefly met. In all, they were friendly, good people.
Last, but not least, my girlfriend and I got to meet Ron Casavant. It was fortunate that we immediately ran into him the first moment we found theCMKX RV. I was able to get the goody bags and questions out of the way instantly. (You owe me, Crawdadds) LOL
Here is the most common answers to all but TWO of the questions all of you wanted to know;
1. Don't know
2. Don't know, yet
3. No comment LOL (that's me laughing)
4. Can't comfirm anything
5. Don't know,,,again
Question: What is happening with SGGM?
Answer: REVOKED!
Question: When is the CMKXtreme online store going to open back up?
Answer: Any day
Then, I was able to sit back and talk to "Ron"........
For the 60,000 shareholders out there that wonder?
I have been a businessman my whole life. I have been very successful and am a good judge of people. I don't know any of you reading this. And Saturday I had to meet SOMEONE who represented where all of my hard earned money has been going?
This man is genuine. Simple. He looks in a strangers eyes with truth. After meeting him, we left the track excited. For we knew that we had just met the richest man in the worlds brother and we were a part of it all.
I didn't sleep much last night. I doubt if I will tonight. And if any of you feel the same, then we can keep each other company........(Starfire).LOL
And for those of you that can sleep before tomorrow....good night.
Ricky

Ricky, thanks for that great update. Well, we really didn't expect Ron to answer any serious questions, but at least you could look him in the eye to judge his character. Well done.
Now, did you bring any goodie bags for the rest of the class?

Thanks haney, sounds like you're a man of good judgement. Difficult to be successful in business unless you have some kind of sixth sense on who to trust.
I'm glad to hear you found Ron to be as upstanding as you did. Everything I've ever heard about him and UC from the people who have met them back you up. That's enough for me.
GLTA, Funado

I told Ron on Friday that I can't believe that the boards don't even mention them (cmkx staff) visiting the hospitals any more, but they discuss the negatives!
You have to look at character and you will have your answer.
To anyone that hasn't met Ron or Urban, go to a race, you'll see what I mean.
Urban won't be there,IMO but Ron will.

I hope UC will be at the races here in Vegas. He was in April. Andy will and I look forward to buying him a drink or two--he's put up with a lot. (and yes it is a good time of year to visit, Ricky. Not too hot; not too cold) Bo

I have unfortunately not met either one. I had planned on going to the Sonoma races last year, but that was when UC had his stroke, so he ended up not to be going. I get nothing but good vibes from what I know of them. I am USUALLY a pretty good at that. I think a lot will come to the surface, clearing him of any "circumstantial" evidence of wrong doing. golden ;D

Thanks for asking about SGGM. If Ron says "Revoked", then revoked it is. I wonder what their plans are for this baby?

I think there are some questions unanswered about John Edwards. I don't know enough about that situation. I guess that we'll find out soon enough. Ricky
