If Paul K. didn't learn from his 75 second run, then the look on Kathy's
face as she walked toward the car to take her run would have quickly settled
the matter.  8-)

Naw, but we have Rain-X for the face shields.  I found that the
"critical speed" for the Rain-X on the face shield in my car is about
55 mph, which was tough on that course since the first several
seconds were considerably slower than that.

Many of the BM guys, in the 4th heat, stayed on slicks.  Of course,
they have downforce.  By the time 5th heat started, rains were the
clear choice (though Paul Kryziak went out on slicks for his first
run, but he learned quickly. :-))
