It seems like more of us are destined to use the desert for camping during
Speedweek, especially those who can forego rational female company during
that period. I fear the result of this will be a substantially increased
demand placed upon the shower facilities at the Sinclair truck stop at exit
4.
So perhaps we can look to tchnology to provide an answer. The return of the
latest Space Shuttle brought a crew member who had conducted an interesting
experiment. This fellow wore some special cloths, specifically underwear
developed in Japan, that he never took off for his entire 28 day stay. The
idea is about some high tech silver nanotechnology that prevents odor build
up and, I suppose, other features of some importance to the application.
I can see this stuff going mainstream into the US recreational clothing
market if it is not already there.
I can also see where 8 days at Speedweek would be a serious test of the
technology. But think about it. It may be cheaper to buy trick underwear
for your crew than bidding up the price for hotel rooms.
Only half serious this time.......Ed Weldon
