Interesting..... OK.  I tried an experiment.  I took the file, deleted
everything except for the file header, timezone info, and one VEVENT.
Then I imported it into Evolution.  That one event shows the correct
time shift.  Why is it that the importer knows how to properly shift the
timezone, but the webcal interface doesn't?

For reference, the webcal URL is:
webcal://icalx.com/public/bgalland/200532NASCAR32Schedule.ics

I tried changing the "webcal" part to "http" and it made no difference.
