[Capri25] Fleet Captains Meeting

[Odell Tuttle]

Jesus,

I think that's good feedback.  After a little more thought (and offline
discussion)... the performance-based fee idea now seems like a slippery
slope.  I retract that suggestion, but would definitely agree with raising
the minimum race count, or even the fee for coming up short.

Take care,
Odell
