Re: Great day at the races

Ah, yes... it gives everyone a deeper appreciation for the art of
bracket racing, doesn't it?

Bill, I would have to second Jon's suggestion that you go for the wins
now... and go for the world records when you're not in heated battle
for a championship. Wins say a great deal, even if you're not running
your fastest! Just think... a boxer can be the undefeated,
featherweight champion of the world. That doesn't mean he/she can go
head-to-head with Lennox Lewis, but people still seem to pay attention
to the "littler" champions! In your case, you may not turn the fastest
times that you can, but you might walk away with the trophy by being
the most consistent!

And from a PR perspective, you'll get LOTS more track time if you play
it safe and work your way up through the brackets. That's LOTS more
people being given the chance at seeing one world-class EV at its
best! You might shatter your world record on the first pass down the
track... but it would be the last run you would get that day!

Win the championship... then at the end... ask them to give you one
more demonstration run. Tell them... "I was holding it back!"

he he he.
