I can't disagree with any of this.

What works in one race doesn't mean it will work every time or in the next race. And I am still laughing at the last line. Geezus, thats a good one.

Didn't mean to sound harsh, but I have a buddy that complains when he doesn't have the winner and others do. Taking a tough beat is never fun, so apologies to those that took a tough beat if they Had FL for a nice win ticket. I wasn't thinking about that.
