Smokeman - Welcome aboard!

I used to go on auto-pilot to the 2nd Gen Performance page. Now I'm checking this page out before anything else!

I just stepped down this year. Served as an Executive Board Member for 12 years. I enjoyed my time, I just thought it was time to get some of the younger guys involved. I still serve as an Advisor.

How many of you contribute to FIREPAC?
