Sniper, you are usually pretty accurate with what you post, but you earlier indicated that after missing the first deadline (that Lava Man met), it would have cost Invasor $750K to enter the BC Classic. That led several posters (including me) to seriously doubt the connections' intentions to run in the Classic. However, an option to get in for $250K is very different than having to fork over $750K.

At any rate, I'm glad to see that he's on target for the Classic. Your comment on the GW effect is interesting, and may well be right.
