I dunno, Marty.  Maybe we should wait until after the autocross.  Driving the 
pylons after going blind drinking your moonshine might be a little too 
exciting for me.  ;-)

Seriously, I think that's a great idea.  I just sampled my first attempt and 
I found it "drinkable."  I'll start another batch in June so I should be 
optimum by the time the VTR rolls around.  Alas, I cannot attend Summer Party this 
year.  Let us know how it goes.
