On a completely different note -- please take a quick gander at the left-center of the home page of
www.landracing.com. We're running an ad to help Ken Rappaport's girlfriend, Victoria, sell some of the gold jewelry that she makes by hand. Ken is the crew chief (I think) of the Spectre -- Amit Rosenbaum's (and Kenny Hoover's) streamliner that went 415.791 at the Shootout last September. He showed Nancy and me some of the work there. So - when he recently asked about advertising the jewelry on this site -- since he's got a decently-good connection with our sport -- I said "Sure". Well, I said that but in a few more words. You know my style -- if five words is good enough -- then 3,491 words is even better.
Victoria (also known as Vicki) will design and make jewelry to your request -- such as your race car or the race number or some flames, etc.
Go take a look at the ad - click through and go to her website - and maybe find something your wife would like and that you can afford, or better yet -- design something (in cahoots with Vicki) that shows not only your love for said wife - but also for your race car. Howsabout that for justifying yet another expenditure from the racing budget?
