[Spridgets] Skanky Miss - A Slight Reprise

[Glen Byrns]

Bud,

You've proven what we all eventually learn about these cars.  Chasing down a 
difficult problem ends up teaching you about all the other things that 
AREN'T causing the problem.  One learns little from success.  By the time I 
was done fitting the Megasquirt I felt I could make anything run. 
Congratulations!

Glen
