I'll take that bet. You supply the ES 2.5L Fiero in good condition. I'll
drive it here for a season. I'll buy the tires. Then you send your novice
in his Neon. I'll kick him. And I am not that good. A top driver like
Tunnell (either one of them) will clean his clock without any experience in
the Fiero.

Write this formula and publish it. We'll take a look at it.

I think they will. Some of the things I have seen indicate they aren't that
picky. And I consider that a good thing. Marketplace of ideas and all that
sort of thing.
