This just in:

“My name is Dennis King. I am one of those ‘real racers’ you speak of on the 14k Endurance team. I think that you and people like you will hurt this project. Just because someone got some free product and some free motorcycles does not mean that they are scamming the system.

“I met Tony Morris a few years ago at a race in the Pocono’s. He had helped me in the pits because I was alone. At no time did he come off as nothing but a friendly man and a enthusiast of the sport. I later ran into Tony at Daytona where he informed me of his project and his involvement. I admit that my first reaction was that he was probably full of crap. Several months later Tony called me at my house and asked me to ride on his endurance team.

“Now, several months into the race season, Tony has supplied me and my team with everything that he had promised. My team is currently running third in middleweight superbike as you are probably aware.

“As far as the whole movie project, people like yourself will only hurt the project. Why would you publish an article that does nothing but talk down on mister Morris and his project? Who are you to judge him?

“I was there when Tony sent you the movie script. I was also at Tony’s house when other people had called who are invovled in the project. I happen to believe that he is doing something positive and constructive and if this movie makes it to the big screens the road racing industry will benefit. However, if you and people like you continue to slander the project and the people involved in it then we both know that you weaken any chance that it may or may not have!

“Opinions are like assholes, right? All of us have them. Keep yours to yourself or at least out of the magazine.

“A pissed off racer,

More, from a reader who wished he had thought of it:

“Boy, all that seemed pretty obvious to me when they announced the ‘filming schedule’ awhile back and none of it has taken place. I’m just pissed I didn’t think of it first–how about I make a documentary on a private road race team financed by a motorcycle magazine! Sounds like a winner.

“Do you have Suzuki’s number?
