Interesting conversation. Hopefully he will look at the vid (I sent him the link yesterday) and get the itch. One can only try.
Man Ed, you know everybody lol. Do you ever have lunch with someone that is not interesting?

A white burgundy from a hill top vineyard that was at one time the property of Charlemagne. One of my favorite white wines, and to the great detriment of Mike B, one of the world's most expensive. I only have a half case to see me through until the race day, so it is likely that I shall be quite thirsty. Bring your Visa card, Mike!

Just a fair warning, if I have any feeling that you will beat me, I am going to loosen your lugs.

OK, ok, ok. A truce is probably in order. You promise not to loosen my lugs and I promise that from this day forward I will stop peeing in your gas tank during the driver's meeting.

It always helps Mike to check your radiator level after Street of Willow shoot-out with Scott...Heat Soak...

Low radiator coolant level.
