Yeah.  I seem to have a bad habit of freaking out announcers...  At a NASA
event at the beginning of the year the announcer was yelling at me for
being a little outta control in my buddy's Lotus as I came across the
finish line.  Something to do with sliding sideways with the rears
spinning after the lights when I was trying to save a spin without going
off course... :-)

So did I get a DNF for not stopping for the timing slip?  I wasn't really
paying attention to my times as I was trying to help the car owner get
introduced to autox.  Darn west coasters and their weird policies... :-)
