Keith,
Talking to George, after he rolled the Salt Sonnett into what it was rolled
into, his questioning followed the line of wondering if anyone had video.
What you could see from the pits was flashes of green and checkerboard ...
no doubt it was George. When he lost his bellypan and then went faster than
he had ever gone before his comment was "...shows what I know about
aerodynamics."
Is he spending the winter in California?
