Doug,
Your Cheesehead background goes a long way in explaining some things...
Glad you're coming to RA... it's quite a spectacle at the Historics in July.
It's worth
coming back for the Fall Festival in September for less hype and fall colors.
Prior to the event we're going to get a master list of TT member attendees soe
we can
correctly set up Thicko Village for the great unwashed masses.
I suspect all of those 13,000 RPMs that squirrel cage motor of your will come
in handy on
the long uphill front straight at Road America... I usually can make tea before
the start
finish line...
