Unlike many other lists, spridgets seems to
tollerate off-topic threads so long as they don't
get too long in the tooth. I guess it is because
we don't take ourselved too terribly seriously -
and we're mostly all race fans.
So I comment within your note,

Nancy has only been to one race but it rained like

Fantastic!

I think the IceMan still has a good shot.

That is a tough one. MS is a fantastic driver and
he communicates technical issues to his team
beautifully. He is also good for the business of
motorsport. All are part of being a champion.
HOWEVER, this thing with Minardi has put a BIG
black eye on Ferrari.

I don't see this being their come-back year.

Agreed, but the car is going to be a force to be
reconed with!

Excellent. We're supposed to get some good
weather over the next few days. I may get some
fun too!
