Results for Snow and Ice 97 Rally

[Glenn Lawton <lawtonglenn@gsmai.com>]

Boy am I glad I didn't post some lame superior message feigning thanks
but delivering condescendance to Paul Royal after our "win". The fact is 
that although Bob BLAKE and I were announced as the Q-class winners,
and received the trophies, the real winners were Paul Royal and Bob
Davis.

The TCNE scorer originally added up our points wrong. 
The detailed results can be found at:

Kudos to Paul Royal and Bob Davis. Bob Blake and I will graciously
be sending the trophies to you straightaway. Everyone should understand
that the excellent fun time we had was certainly worth it, despite
the confusion on the results. Besides:

First, I was able to test my driving skill, as my mind repeated "don't 
lift, don't lift, don't lift", as my arms were twisted in full right
lock
during a 100 yard 45 degree power slide down an icy hill. I totally
amazed even my humble self, as I quietly feathered the throttle,
convinced
the rear end to come around, made a couple of small corrections, and
got it straight, never slowing under the CAS35. The silence was
great, as it helped convince my navigator Bob Blake that this was
matter of fact, but really, I thought for sure we were going around.

Second, while those guys have the trophies (soon), the real bet was 
after removing the highest leg, and 592-105=487 > 666-265=401,
so Paul and Bob Davis must buy the beer anyway. ;-)
