Chuck, never said I was taking sides buddy, but I was trying to flesh out the thinking for the other side of Kirk’s position. I am not sure which is right but as a state’s rights guy I think regions should be able to tailor to what the locals want.

This past weekend, I attended the Marlboro reunion at the Jefferson 500 being held at Summit Point. The Regional historian had tons of memorabilia on display and lots of video of the old FIA sanctioned 12 hour races at Marlboro in the '60s. There were multiple videos of pit stops. The car would screech to a halt in the tiny pits, and the driver would start climbing out. A crew member would flip open the Monza filler cap, put in a very large mouthed funnel and several crew members would begin pouring from 5 gallon steel jugs at the same time. My eyes bugged out as I saw gallons of gas being spilled all over the cars, into the cockpits and in some cases, all over the drivers. Someone would throw a bucket of water and off they would go. Nary a dry break or overhead fuel rig in sight. We've come a long way baybee!
No real point guys, I just thought you'd appreciate the story.
Regards,
Chuck
