A quick correction on the quote and an observation from a FNG (me.)
France said, "The mule's blind, boys. Keep loadin the wagon." (At least
that's how Smokey Yunick quoted him.) Pretty close.
The FNG observation is that if I go 200 mph, why shouldn't I get into the
200 mph club? I've read the discussion and I see some well-made points on
both sides, but this is just what comes to my mind as a new guy. I'd love
to take my door slammer over 200. If I do, that'll meet my goal. But if I
get there and find out that it doesn't qualify for membership in the
club...well, that's a little disappointing. Ahhh....life is disappointing,
I spose.
