Hey, it's DD...we share all. I guess "sex sells" I think you are wrong about NASCAR just being PR, but even it you are right, that kind of PR may do more for MRPS's stock price that some big contracts. One broker that Jimmy talked to said that the NASCAR thing was "very sexy". Jimmy told me he was confused by that comment because he thought the broker would be much more interested in the meaty deals with Ford, GM, F&M Masco, etc.

Sprint, et al... Is there anything about the company you still like? Would love to know your opinion and whether you are more negative than positive or vice versa? Same with all of you "longs"...are you now more negative than positive? we should take a poll...might be valuable.

Sprintcar, your logic is now on target. Jasper will see the unit, model A07, I believe, for $450 retail. The profit margins are normally at least 40%. Therefore, wholesale (what MRPS takes in) should be around $250. The $695 retail figure for this model is probably not what is generally attainable. It is great public relations to have NASCAR involvement for both R&D and the pure publicity of it, as you correctly point out. Now will Hendricks Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing etc. etc. PAY for these units? I doubt it very strongly. Manufacturers fall all over themselves to be close to the "good ole' boys" and don't normally get any money for this association. I know first hand how the Morgan McClure Racing Team is propositioned by every manufacturer on the planet. So, what am I saying? Just that you have reported some good information, I believe.
