Keith- by no means would I consider that hat "silly"! (Get two, I'd love to
have one... but I know that would be against the rules).
For those that don't know, the "Red 2 Club" hat Keith is referring to is worn by
a very few... only those having qualified at over 200 miles per hour! We're not
talking drag cars either.
With that engine setup, I think you'll do it this year Keith.
Good luck,
Herb
