I would like to confirm that the articles you published in Breaking News on June 20th, 2003 are all true. But, I would like to respond to these articles.

The situation between Larry Pegram and DTR could have been avoided; he is a dear friend of mine, and I can assure everyone that Larry would agree. Because, I am still trying to resolve the problems listed in your articles.

This is including Mr. Mitch Hansen; he has been the force behind DTR from day one, he has done more for DTR than I can ever have expected. In fact, Mr. Hansen still would assist me if I asked. Our friendship remains unchanged.

The reason behind my response is to stop the unnecessary escalation of the disputes between all parties, because none of us need our dirty laundry to be discussed or judged by the general public. What good will it do for resolving these problems? It will only do more harm than good. Therefore, I will do my very best to consult with my partner DeVeaux Hill to put these disputes behind us in the near future.

In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the good PR your publication has done for DTR this season, and also your trackside advice. Much appreciated.

You are most welcome to call me anytime for updates. There will be no “Spin Zone” between you and I.

Yours truly,

Kaming Ko
Co-owner of DTR
