Doug,
    Sure am glad we don't all like the same thing. I respect the technology 
required to get an airplane to break the sound barrier without leaving the 
ground, but to me the piston-driven, wheel-driven LSR-type racing is 
where-it's-at. I wouldn't have the slightest interest in witnessing what they 
accomplished at Black Rock. Hell, going to the Dry Lakes or Bonneville 
without a car to wrench on is a drag. When I go to spectate I can only handle 
a couple of days before being bummed and ready to come 
home..............Ardun Doug in CA
