Possible SCAM

[gsjames]

I received a strange solicitation from a legal firm to sign up as an "expert witness" for RC Pylon racing events. I don't plan to reply, but I can't imagine what kind of crap these lawyers are up to. Is someone trying to sue NMPRA or AMA or local clubs???
Below is the message that was sent:

At first blush it looks legit.
But I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole.

I got same thing. And I am not planning to reply.

Don't know if it is something legit, someone suing AMA/NMPRA, someone wanting to shut down pylon, or what.
