Arturo, Good Morning
I find that the pits are always more exciting than the track. I was at
Nazareth two weeks ago for the Indy style CART race. I was in the pit area
of Bobby Rahal. I used Tom's rapidwinder and the Tri-Elmar. I will be at
Nazareth today for the Busch Grand National Race. Again with my M-6 in the
pits.
