<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_f6332028-0769-4540-b577-8e904302ba32" style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 10pt;"><font color="black" size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">An interesting proposition has come my way. I'm not so sure I'm up to the challenge but I do like the incentives. If I should do this SSCC race, my proposed navigator has MANDATED that in order to take on this position he'd make me PROMISE to do the entire race with my eyes closed and ONLY drive by following instructions. That's hard for me in any circumstance but especially in this case as I'd be missing the lovely scenery of Ely, and Lund to Hiko. I'm self evaluating whether I'm brave and trusting enough for such an adventure, BUTTTT, if I agreed, I'd be sponsored by a company that would make my car a prototype with a specially designed alternator to convert my Pantera to a hybrid, keeping my Webers. Supercharger and all, and with even more HP. Plus, <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I'd have a greater chance of getting a trophy, using a NIST F2 atomic clock. This means, </span></font><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"Third time would be a charm" for me/us! </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> But what good is all that if I expire from being yelled at for 90 miles and then miss the awards banquet???</span></div>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_f6332028-0769-4540-b577-8e904302ba32" style="font-size: medium;">I'll let you all know after I take some more time to consider this carefully. </div>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_f6332028-0769-4540-b577-8e904302ba32" style="font-size: medium;">p.s. But as there are probably no more decent rooms left, and not even sure the conversion could be done in time, I do believe I'm off the hook. Phewwww! Darn though, I want a HYBRID PANTERA.<br>
