So well put Kas. I'm going to print this in big letters and hand it
to the tech guys when they complain about a little "Oil misting" in
the vicinity of Peyote. I maintain it keeps everything fresh and

increases the entertainment value of the event and skill level of the
drivers behind me. And it keeps Redline's revenue stream rolling.
Nothing but good. That's my motto.
