[Fot] Racing Anomaly

[JS Performance Motoring, LLC]

Mike,
        That's gotta be $20 worth of race rubber right there!!

Not as exciting, but I had a bit of rubber hit me in the eye shield on the
back stretch this weekend.  It was a good reminder why it's important to
ALWAYS put the shield down, even in a tin top!!!
