[Rhodes22-list] Racing - day 2 Question for the list

[Mary Lou Troy]

We replaced the line for our traveller and went to a smaller line as what 
we had kept popping out ''cause it was to think.

To answer the questions:
  Fretless is a 1991 recycled in 1998
We have the GBI traveller
We use it a lot and we can certainly influence performance by using it.
We have an IMF main.
