Hey "my Hero Joe",
Funny, but it's very interesting what your eye picks up at speed. On a
windy day I was applying vinyl grapics to Elmo's Sprite, and had used
some yello racer's tape for postitioning. I left a very small piece on
the back of his roll bar. The next session, every time I caught a
glimpse of it, I reacted like I was seeing a caution, (until I passed
him of course :) )
