        I am not sure it's fair to say "Nobody really gets behind the
older AVSIs".  I've been running AVS Intermediates on my Prelude at
local events.  I would say I've been running competitive times with
them.  I will be running on the AVSI's at Evansville.

        I don't know where you're from, Phil, but I hope you can make
it to the Evansville Tour.  I'm buying the beer (ST only).
