What we have here appears to be a moving target! :-)

OK. Let me know when you stop changing equipment and materials. Was
there _anything_ besides the tires that you kept constant in your
comparison of coolant efficiency? :-)

Sorry to say I'm not registered. But yes we're fairly close to the
Glen; in fact yesterday afternoon my wife and I drove down there and
