Hell, that's not *my* fear! My fear is that they'll be so much more
popular that they'll take all the site days. I'm also mildly cranky that
here in SoCal they get discounted use of Qualcom for 1/8" mile drags in
the interest of "reducing street racing", but we have to pay full freight,
but that's just me. Maybe if I wear my NRA cap on sideways I can be a
troubled youth too? ;)
