Unlike many other lists, spridgets seems to
tollerate off-topic threads so long as they don't
get too long in the tooth.  I guess it is because
we don't take ourselved too terribly seriously -
and we're mostly all race fans.

So I comment within your note,

I'm a huge F1 fan but too far away to do
anything more than watch satellite TV at strange
hours of the day to see the races.  My wife
thinks I'm crazy, but then she's never been to
an F1 race.
Nancy has only been to one race but it rained like
mad and she was miserable.  (The racing was GREAT!)

My claim to fame is to have graduated from the
Brands Hatch racing school (with track time
taught by Graham Hill) back in the late 60's.
Actually got to run the full GP circuit there (4
laps) in a de-tuned Lotus 49B!!
Fantastic!

How do you reckon Kimi this year?
I think the IceMan still has a good shot.

Can anyone unseat Micheal the Great?
That is a tough one.  MS is a fantastic driver and
he communicates technical issues to his team
beautifully.  He is also good for the business of
motorsport.  All are part of being a champion.
HOWEVER, this thing with Minardi has put a BIG
black eye on Ferrari.

Does the new Williams stand a chance.
I don't see this being their come-back year.

I have high hopes for BAR, but am not terribly
thrilled by their driver changes.
Agreed, but the car is going to be a force to be
reconed with!

Cheers!!
Jim - who put 50 miles on the midget today!!
Life is Good!!!
Excellent.  We're supposed to get some good
weather over the next few days.  I may get some
fun too!

Regards,

rick
