I recall driving to San Berdoo with Perry Kincy a couple of years ago. Perry
was well prepared as usual, a new set of Hoosiers on the car, two older ones in
the car, and few cans of Bud of course:-). I'm not sure he even had street
tires for the Camaro, and I don't think anything other than Bud was in Perry's
cooler:-). So we drove on Hoosier's to So. Cal, run National Tour and then
drove back to SF. On the way home, it's started to sprinkle. Perry didn't even
noticed it and certainly didn't lift until it really started to get really wet.
I was getting a bit uncomfortable going at somewhat illegal speeds on Hoosiers
in the wet, but not Perry. To make a long story short, we've made it home with
no problems. Kids DON'T try it at home:-).
Perry, if you're still on this list, how are you? We missed you.

PS. I hope to drive on Hoosiers to 3COM park on Sunday, but I will not do it if
it rains. Katie, PLEASE!!! I really want to try my new toy.:-)
