When I started road racing over here in 1906 there were no rules.  I was 
the only racer.  Then this other guy started racing, and right away they 
needed rules.  Soon there were five or six guys racing and soon that dam rule 
book was nearly an inch thick.  

Incidentally, I can't remember for sure who it was, but at the Friday night 
Beady Eye wine and cheese party at Grattan someone was making some pretty 
solid points about what is hurting race series these days like Indy Car and 
so on.  He maintained one of the big reasons is they have made it impossible 
for any ingenuity.  In the old days people would develop whole new cars to 
compete, and the stands would be full of people watching the practice and 
time trials, not to mention come race day.  They all wanted to see the new 
stuff, the new cars, and how good they were or weren't.  The guy was making some 
really great points.  I wish I would not have had so much Pinot Grigio.  
I'd remember better and could share it with you.

PS  Wait a minute.  Jason...you were there!  Oh, that's right.  You were 
drinking too.  Good cheese though.  Picante Provolone, Sharp White Cheddar, a 
soft brie, and back by popular demand...Mindoro Bleu.
