its true that some people do in fact do it. but whether or not its effective or necessary is up to debate. if it makes you comfortable then do it. it doesnt harm anything.

Art, will see you for sure at Pomona (projected temp is 110 degrees) or maybe Sears Point? Going to San Antonio for IDRC next weekend. Looking forward to 24 hours of rap music At least it's not all the way to FL.

110 is winter for us in Texas. Actually we will be in FL the weekend of the IDRC race. Hopefully I will be able to make all the events this year.
Mike, good to have you here. You have a cool dad and I think we should see good things from you this year.
