Default RE: CD Replaced at Kentucky Jets

The way I'm reading this is that Lewis is the CD of the event, and IMO he sets the rates of the event for everything.

It's his baby.

Now if he does not have the funding and is looking for sponsors, that's fine. AMT/ Artes/ BV/ ME, whoever is shelling out the dough, they have a right to have input on making sure they get their money back.

I have spoken in detail with Frank Tiano, and Jerry Caudle about these events, and they are expensive, toilets, food, rental fees, trash, etc. There is overhead that needs to be covered.

In my business, cash is king. So I would tend to agree that if Lewis does not have the money to fund the profit or loss of the event, it should either be cancelled or picked up by someone else or another entity.

As I'm understanding this thread, that's what has happened here.

If I were Lewis, I'd drop the event and maybe AMT or someone else can carry, maybe they can't on the CD side.

Or, buck up, put your money where your mouth is like Jerry Caudle has done and others and take care of it yourself and tell AMT to jump in a lake, they're not invited.

Our local rally is carried by our club funds, win lose or draw.

Don't know how that would apply in this situation.
