> MikeDon't laugh at it.  If you knew what I spend every month just to race Tally, and compare that to what the

average person would have to spend to get ***ed to "other vices", one could reach the logical conclusion
the racing at Tally truley is an ***ion for people like me.  It should be treated as such.  Treatment would
include a 12 step program to be covered under indemity insurance.  Friends and family of the ***ed should
yield to the bad effects of withdrawal from racing Tally as well as learn to recognize the symptoms for early
intervention.
        After racing Tally for 8-10 hours on Fridays, then take a drive on the highway, I find myself swerving
from one lane to the next, trying to avoid slower drivers, yelling "Damn Backmarkers!!!". No really, It takes
a while to come down from a Tally high.  It's dangerous at least.  I must constantly remind myself that this
is real driving, don't pull anything that might get you shot. I live in the Dallas (near Texas)BTW.  I
addition, I'm starting to see health related problems surface such as my injured right wrist caused from the
constant gripping of the steering wheel.  Personal injury lawyers and health professionals call this a
repetitive motion disorder.

        I could go on and on.  The bottom line is, this will be one of the few vices where you will be able to
make money at it.  I couldn't have always wanted to be a pro Tally racer for obvious reasons.  But now I do
and I'm proud of it.  I just don't know yet how I'll ever negate the damages done to my relationships with
family, friends, and colleagues. Not to mention the anti-social tendencies my personality has taken on since
the onslaught of the ***ion.

Thanks for your time.

Cole, man you are funny....  You were half joking.... weren't you?

But there is some hint of truth there.  I notice that even my wife
tends to accelerate a little harder after a night of go-cart racing at
the Raleigh, NC Putt-Putt track.  

I also liked "Days of Thunder".  Is that where "Cole" comes from?  
Cole Trickle/Tom Cruise/Maverick/Lt. Pete Mitchel/ etc.
All good stuff!  Man, don't get me going on this stuff.
I'll see you on Hawaii....  Cole is one fast racer....
It's hard to beat him....
without a little something extra in the gearbox   :-)

Best Wishes!!!

You think Nascar is bad, try it with the converted indycars and Gerhard's
newer LP files!  There is nothing like drafting down the back straight at 260
mph!!!
