The story goes that Ken Richardson or a member of his Triumph Works TR2<br>
team<br>
back in 1953 or &#39;54 pulled out the floor plug for the jack before the<br>
race<br>
and set up a funnel and a long hose so he could &quot;use the 
facilities&quot;.<br>
During the race, he tried it (for the first time) and once the funnel<br>
was<br>
full, the aerodynamic force blew it all back up into his face. &nbsp;Back<br>
then,<br>
they didn&#39;t wear full racing helmets, but goggles.<br>

&gt; Rolling hills (drumlins and kettle morraine).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; What are rolling hills?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The long distance off road guys have bags that they strap to thier<br>
legs<br>
&gt; for the long races. Great idea if you&#39;re over 50.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; In emergency case.....I have, a soaky overall, drain holes in my<br>
seat, and<br>
&gt; if I flood my car I pull out the plug of the jack stand. :-)<br>
