It seems like more of us are destined to use the desert for camping during 
Speedweek, especially those who can forego rational female company during 
that period.  I fear the result of this will be a substantially increased 
demand placed upon the shower facilities at the Sinclair truck stop at exit 
4.
So perhaps we can look to tchnology to provide an answer.  The return of the 
latest Space Shuttle brought a crew member who had conducted an interesting 
experiment. This fellow wore some special cloths, specifically underwear 
developed in Japan, that he never took off for his entire 28 day stay.  The 
idea is about some high tech silver nanotechnology that prevents odor build 
up and, I suppose, other features of some importance to the application.
I can see this stuff going mainstream into the US recreational clothing 
market if it is not already there.
I can also see where 8 days at Speedweek would be a serious test of the 
technology.  But think about it.  It may be cheaper to buy trick underwear 
for your crew than bidding up the price for hotel rooms.
Only half serious this time.......Ed Weldon
