Thanks Kas, but we had it well covered. It was part preparation; =
perseverance; control, driving good clean lines sportsmanship and speed =
which Jeff has exhibited all of. In only his third event at the =
Jefferson 500 he diced closely with another equal car and after many =
passes and being passed, ended up at the checker ahead of his opponent =
with 20 years of experience. At Mosport again, on his first outing =
there, he diced very closely with another car in his class that had 15 =
years experience on that track, yet was competitive enough that places =
were exchanged multiple times.

Why not just ask Bob what he had in mind. He is a good guy.
Never be beaten by equipment.
