I lived in Denver for awhile in the mid-sixties. I used to watch the figure 8 races every Saturday night in Lakewood. My boss owned a figure 8 car and street stock car. Those figure 8 guys are nuts!

Do you think I'm nuts, rman?

Well absolutely! My boss asked me if I would like to drive his figure 8 car and I politely declined. I think I said %*@# no! I would have driven his oval car if he would have offered though.

Thanks!
And I think you would have done better in the F8 race. Just sayin'.
