JD, you sure have a way of saying things       :-d
Thanks for your kind words.  Both groups of people are wonderful and 
inspiring.
You are so right about them just being electric vehicles without batteries. 
While I view both cars as a vehicle of simple systems stacked up on each 
other, the fuel cell stacks and control systems are extremely complex and 
they showed that last week.
The scientists and engineers on both programs performed even better than 
expected, and the success we had is a direct reflection of their Knowledge, 
skill and determination.  I cannot be more impressed than I am with these 
young poeple.
In the beginning I was the only real racer on the Ford team, but after 
reflecting on the speeds we ran, almost all of the team want to return to 
the salt.  I don't know if it will be with the Fusion, but I expect to see 
them again. (actually, I hope to be working with them again)
I'm having withdrawl symptoms.

See you all at World Finals
