Amen!  

Bob Wismer won the Annual Sports 2000 Championship from the Midwestern 
Council of Sportscar Clubs many times (9 or 10 times).  He'd be the first to 
admit this was mostly because he was racing in a class that had very few 
entries (few of which he could beat).  But he used to enter more than anyone else. 
 He used to quote Woody Allen, who said, "80% of success is showing up."

But I like that Dead Last beats both DNS and DNF.  Where do I sign?
