Interesting. I don't ever remember you helpng Jeff Foster any of the many times I watched him try to get the system working. For instance, did you set up the system at Brainerd? Since it's fairly close to your home base, I guess it is a track that you go to.

Had that actually happened, things might not be what they are today.

So I assume you're willing to give your work away, in the same manner as you want the I card to be free to all racers? C'mon, Don.

I know because I was on many race track control tower roofs fixing damaged wiring. 40 feet up on a slippery roof at Englishtown soldering an antenna wire was my committment to the racers.
So are you volunteering to maintain the system for all the Full Throttle and Lucas races?

Don, I remember when you showed up on CompuServe one day wanting to know all about data acquisition and record keeping. You even emailed me asking me for help in how the Pro classes handled things.

I'm not about to play "Mine's bigger than yours" with you on the Internet but rest assured that there are a bunch of people who know my history and reputation. I'm very comfortable when I think of who they are and not at all bothered that you are clueless.
