Amen Dave,
and for those who don't want to be competing against ink,
simply race in a popular class. There are only so many LSR racers out there
including those yet to come into the sport. Plenty of classes will provide a
nic'he for everyone and anyone interested.

PS yep just finished my 2001 headers, total eye poetry, hope speed follows
function.
As soon as the date for Speedweek 2001 is announced please yell from the
back porch ASAP as already looks like there'll be 6 RV's of Kiwi supporters
joining our tour. Need that date to make bookings.
