Waiting it out is certainly understandable for any true long term investor. Assuming all facts being posted by BBDA are true, there is every reason to feel confident that a nice return is forth coming for those who wait patiently for BBDA to achieve expected expansion and sales.

I felt that this race weekend announcement was in poor taste. This seems more about personal enjoyment and less about product advertising and shareholder interests. PLUS, what happens to BBDA (and the SP) if BW were to be involved in a race track accident this weekend, and this accident resulted in BW being unable to conduct business, as usual, for a lengthy time period??? Granted, anyone can be involved in a car accident under normal driving conditions. BUT, a race track and a race car DOES elevate the potential for an accident, significantly. AND, how much race car driving has BW been doing these past few months? Is he truly up to the task? I would think a race car driver would need to be practicing constantly to keep their edge and their mental and physical reflexes at peak level. Is this decision taking the shareholder's investments into consideration? Is this an optimal use of shareholder money? Just asking ... no answer is right or wrong.

Deep pockets and VC investors could care less about BW driving a car this weekend. They are focused on the OS Total and audited financials since those actions directly impact shareholder interest and PPS improvement.

I would like to think that BBDA has an account set aside that is collecting a percentage of net income to address these two major expenses on the not so distant horizon. BW's weekend, race track fantasy should NOT be paid with shareholder money. THAT is a personal participation event, and his personal life is not our responsibility. THIS is why audited financials are NEEDED so we can see where shareholder money is spent.
