Good gawd - being the one who started all this, I feel obliged to make use
of the advice given.
Hence, I will now completely abandon all racing activities and devote my
remaining years to experimental work. I have already cleared out the
basement to prepare it as a laboratory and have stolen the kids "Mr. Wizard
Chemistry Set". I have also ordered a number of the compounds and gases
noted by all of you (Helium etc) although I'll wait until the wife goes to
the hairdresser before I order the four gallons of Viagra.
I have really appreciated all the help, and must admit that I could relate
best to the (very honest) comments of Larry Young - "I've been measuring
tire temperature and pressure, too. I don't have a clue about what I'm
doing, but I do it because I see everyone else doing it". I can really
relate to that!
I think I have all the information I need for the moment, and will let you
all know if I have any break-throughs in the lab. I just hope that, since I
live in Sydney, the results are not affected by any phenomenon peculiar to
the Southern hemisphere.
