Keith and list, Couldn't agree more that coming to a race prepared is so
important. I always try but sometimes I just don't know enough to get it
right. The guys with lots of experience are the most successful. As a relative
novice I know I'm going to have some problems. I am comforted when things
don't work out in the belief that with time we can get better at this game.
I'm also a believer in racer luck. This year Keith had bad luck . Last year
I had bad luck and blew the motor. This year I was trashing trying to get the
new motor in the car. It was hard to start, would hardly idle, and the MSD
tach. output was messed up. I shifted after the second torque peak and hoped
for the best. But you know what. I had good LUCK and set the record. You never
know what's going to happen. Growing up in No. Hollywood Ca. in the 50's I
was the neighborhood car nut. Few shared my passion for hot rodding. One of
the best things about our sport is the friendships we make. We are I think a
collection of car nuts from many neighborhoods in this country. So I can
honestly say that win or lose, I always enjoy the races and being with the
community of landspeed racers. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day. I'm thankful for
many things., including being a part of this sport. Have a good one. Terry
