[Rhodes22-list] good ones

[Rik Sandberg]

Steve,

Had a sprint car race like that once. All night it couldn't decided whether 
it wanted to rain or snow. I wear a full face helmet, that has small vents 
in the front. I went out and ran the feature race at the end of the night. 
When I came back to the pits after, my moustache and beard were frozen 
solid from my breath. Fortunately, sprint car racing is quite strenuous and 
you get quite an adrenaline rush so I didn't notice the cold much till the 
wrestling match with the car was over. Being the freeze baby that I am I 
would have stiffened right up long before the race was over if I hadn't had 
to keep moving. :-)

The things we'll go through and call it fun, eh???
Rik
