Gerd Strenge – The Facts

Durango

Since publishing Gerds first statement which was heavily discussed on the oOple forums, i have received another statement from Mr. Strenge clarifying a few points brought up by individuals as well as responding to the statement made by Aero Racing. We didnt publish this statement from Aero for 2 reasons; 1. We didn’t receive it and 2. It didnt tackle any of the accusations and seemed to try and make this whole thing into some sort of conspiracy.
