FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

I am also a Captain in Iraq at a place we call Q West which is short for Qayarah West. Q West is about 45 miles south of Mosul where the other Captain you know is writing from.

I just want to say that I appreciate your support for the guys over here and simply ask that the free track days for the road racers in the military be run again when we redeploy and can actually take advantage of the opportunity.

Right now Iraq may be the unemployment capital of the world, but we are putting a dent in the number of unemployed Iraqis. We have tons of these guys doing all kinds of construction and various projects at the airfield here. Which will eventually be turned over to the Iraqis to run again.

Now if we could just get Saddam and kill off a few more of the terrorists this place could really be a land of opportunity. Someday, Roadracing World may be reporting from a new road racing course in Baghdad.

Thankful for Roadracing World,

CPT B
