Wes,
I have always had a problem coordinating my right foot with my left brain (or
is that what's left of my brain?) I was right on time up to the last mile
marker........I think somebody moved it closer by a half-mile. This game was
easier when I was running my old '85 Corvette (the one that COULDN'T get into
the 150 club), I would dial in 155 mph because that was what the car would do
flat out, considering the curves. It would cross the finish line pretty much on
time with very little thought (which also seems to come
naturally).....................
