I guess I shouldn't have said that.  I've pretty much quit drinking coffee this past winter -- and I wear slip-on boots mostly.  I forget about the issues.

No, want a minnit.  I still wear lace-up boots for working out in the deep snow.  And other than the cats enjoying farkling with the laces -- I almost always get the boots tied up so they are NOT tied together.  I think that's a good thing.

Racer's law: "The work expands to meet or exceed the time available."  firebird (almost) ready. Goal to be in trailer next wednesday and there early friday.
 Looking forward to event and the Hans seminar. The first one I wore looked like an oxen yoke and we designed a hydroplane cockpit around it. It did what it was supposed to in 1997. Transferred the impact to shoulders instead of neck. Don't be without it.

Hey, Tim:

I'll also be making my rookie LSR appearance at Wilmington--feel free to stop by and say hello! 2007 Chevy HHR, #9940 (we must have gotten numbers at roughly the same time... :-)

Do you have speed-rated tires and metal valve stems and caps for the Vette? Just going through the checklist myself...

See you next week--

Gary

About a day away from the ZX-10R being ready.  Everytime we formulated a plan and were near completion, we decided to change and do more.  The AT&T comercial says "more is better".  The dyno numbers are great.  Now to see how that transfer to the track.  See everyone soon.
