RE: Nomex Sox

Speaking of holes....a friend of mine was sitting in the cockpit of his
car fiddling with something when they called a session. He strapped in
and went out for practice. When he got back the officials wanted to know
where his Sprite hood was....he said it was on the car...they said "no
it isnt".

He said he noticed it ran a little cooler that way.  :-)
