Warren,
As a quick summary of the speed creep issue, It is centered around the
possible speeds at the recent Fort Worth Tour, commenting on said speeds by
people who weren't there, and whether the opinion of people who were/were
not there is valid.
This is all part of the signal to noise problem on this list (which I have
contributed to in the past) and if you are looking for a more focused list,
try the Evolution list (instructions at www.autocross.com/evoltution) It is
moderated more closely, therefore it doesn't veer into the personal issues.
Dave
