OK folks, you heard the man. You can have Byron give 2 hours of telephone
consultation and coaching - that's 120 minutes, 7,200 seconds. To put it in
autocross timing terms, that's a whopping 7.2 MILLION milliseconds! Now maybe
you don't think Byron is a good instructor - you'd be wrong, but it's a free
country,
you can think whatever you want - and wouldn't help you much. If you think
that then
let's look at it this way - if Byron were 100% efficient at instruction then
every
second he spends coaching you would result in a 1 second drop in your raw time.
OK, so nobody's 100% efficient, but even if Byron is a pitiful .05% efficient
then
your raw times will drop by an amazing 3.6 seconds! Now how much would you
pay? But wait, there's more. Byron is 1/2 of the mighty Huck and Chuck
enterprise
and by spending time talking to him you'll be exposed to their Chronologically
Altered Reality Technology (CART for short) which bends time to make your runs
as
fast as F125 carts (AMod and BMod drivers can wear special shields to prevent
this
technology from slowing them down).
So you see, this offer is the greatest thing since the undiscovered class
killer MR2s.
How can you pass this up?!?!?! Let's get the bidding wars started!

p.s. If you want, you can still use this offer to have Byron wash your car.

Subject: Bid on Byron's C&C
Consider it a done deal, John! I'll be glad to give 2 hours of personal
telephone consultation and coaching to the top bidder on this prize.
Hey, I'm just flattered to find *someone* that thinks my coaching is
worth more than my car washing skills! For those who still think they'd
rather have me wash their cars, that's still an available option too.
John has bid $50 and we'll make this a your choice item--the 2 hours of
consultation and coaching or a Byron Short car wash.
So who will outbid John? Same deal. Bidding by cash or MC/Visa
accepted, bidding closes on July 31, with money to change hands by about
Aug 3.
