I've been using my 73 year old mother's Maserati 3200 GT but it costs more in fuel than the track day fee, and then you have the tyres I've Driven it goodwood and at Track Days on an Old airfield (well it's still actually in use but only for Apaches), Snetterton is near me, but I think I'll wait untill I've got a cheaper to run car before I try That. -- Chris *:-) |

Race Fuel at Lime Rock is $12 a gallon In the 71 brabham FB formula b 1.6L we get 5.5 or 6mpg. 1 to 5 pm tuesday test day at lime rock with 4 20 minute sessions are $250 and you loose if the track gets messed up, track oiler or farming excursion. You run on shaved tires or have you run on race rubber? I want to be in a event at goodwood before I die, the vintage event is a lot of fun. I know many people who have been there, John Fitch has piles of race credentials hanging all over the house was looking at some of Goodwood ones. Hear the Joke Bernie want to put an F1 race in NY, that will happen if the middle east and northern ireland gets peace and start living as friends. |

It's DAMP in this context, unless the skier is actually wetting his pants, and that's what knees are for. Look, there's only one way to settle this war of terminology and that is to bring in an expert in MA* (*Motion Analysis) and have him clear this up straight away. *Don't think I won't do it! You rang? Look I'm Gonar the Incontinent, if anyone knows about damp in the pants it's me. But in addition, I'm an expert on motion analysis and physics and accelerometers. So anyway, yes, there is some dampening that happens between the ski and the center of mass. but the finest gs skiers in the world are very very very very good at keeping their edges engaged with the snow, which means that they aren't seeing that much up-and-down (relation to the vector of the applied force, which is more horizontal than vertical) acceleration at the skis. If you want me to wax eloquent on this subject for a couple-twenty-thousand words, just say the word. Otherwise, I won't bore you. No, no, no that's quite alright. I was actually hoping for a less "fact and science based" explanation and more of a vigorous, wordy, and Brownian discussion regarding the meaning of "Vector" vs "vector" and "damp" vs "moyst." Or "Wax eloquent" vs "wax Eloquent..." |

Well then, let me just say this about that, which is to say that when I pause to consider wordiness and vigor--not just an academic sense of vigor but a ballsy, manful vigor that you feel swinging between your legs as you stride purposefully through the primeval forest looking for tree to cut down with your sharpened broadaxe--I am often brought back to the poems of Percy Blythe Shelley and how completely they differ from an annotated history of the AC Milan football team. Now you are probably thinking to yourself: "My God this man can ramble," but really I have a point here and that is this: that vigorousness needs to be applied to capitalization retrospectively, that it is not until we peel back the sheaves of the onion and mix our metaphors unfortunately, that we can determine the context of the vector and determine whether the word applies to some stale mathematical notion or to my lively and entertaining miniature schnauzer, whose name coincidentally is also Vector. |

Have you ever read any of Max Shulman's books? Particularly "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!" He's out of print, so you have to buy them through Amazon resellers, and they smell like grandma's guest room, but they are excellent. |

For me, I feel that swinging dick sensation when stalking the elusive electronics deals in Frys, especially when my manly package can swing freely, motion unencumbered because I am wearing manly leather motorcycle chaps and manly jeans. You get to feel **** dripping down your leg. Hey, did Percy wear Depends, too? |
