      Otto,
      Keep your eyes open, your mouth shut, use all that knowledge you
      already have about racing and don't antagonize those who have
      been there, done that, made their contributions and have the
      multiple records by the racers they have helped.
      Calling people out on the list is bad form.
      Wes
