Hey Joe,
I know when I hit the big "5-0" I stopped remembering all the
details of certain things. But, I do remember that a "3:50" at
Road America is pretty slow, and I hope Greg and his Morgan were
doing mid "2:50s"!
Besides that, I know that anyone who can pass me on the "outside"
in the carousel at R.A. is certainly going to be closer to 3
minutes a lap than 4 minutes a lap. Who was it, under that
helmut, driving #197 that day anyway!!!!
Vroom, vroom,
Jeff
