A truly educational ball-bearing response!
With our racing season firing up at the end of this month (Winter comes
later every year, it seems), I am lloking for better lap times. Better
lap times means taking greater risks. Keeping your foot away from that
brake pedal a little longer - and keeping it planted flat down on the
accelerator a little longer - requires large steel... courage.
Funny your mail arrived just as I was thinking of this and planning my
lap-time goals for this year!
Forgive me... I lack sleep!
