Great that you've read his books. Fred knows his stuff, having built and maintained the Quasar D-Sport racer, invented the modular wheel and, of course, wrote the handling and brake books for HPBooks. I got to know Fred real well since I was publisher then, so I can vouch for him. Oh, last time I knew Fred he was involved in a nuclear fusion project.

Mid Ohio; I'm a little too far from there to attend. I'll be going to the Z06 affair in Kentucky the middle of September, so that and Spring Fling will have used up all of my "have fun" energy (money) for the year. Great track, though. Used to campaign cars such as an M1B McLaren, F-V, Super V and IMSA GT there, so I am familiar with the Keyhole, Carousel and those wicked turns on the back side of the course. Got a Vette sideways and through the grass on the off-camber, blind corner that unloads the car back there. The track was wet, too. Can't remember the name of that turn.
