Yes. Some people know how to drive well on asphault, but if you're trying to 
extrapolate
my results on asphault to those on concrete, you're making a big mistake<s>, 
particularly
when you add in cold, wet, tight, cone-fests. Besides, the grip at Wendover Pro 
was easily
50% more than at the Bremerton NT. On the best days at Bremerton, I can get 1.1 
sustained
lateral G's (vs 1.5 G's on warm dry concrete) and the Bremerton NT was far from 
the best
days at Bremerton.

OK. Then ignore that line item in my prior e-mail. I wondered why his 
performance at
Wendover (94.8% of top PAX) was much different than the Topeka Pro (99% of top 
PAX). And
reading your e-mail about Atwater and checking out my website, I see he was at 
99.4% of
top PAX at Atwater Pro. My formula forecast him as 1st in CP at Nationals, but 
I hedged on
the Pick the Winner contest going with Ron. Think I'll go with the forecast 
instead.
