Jerry, you do not know me. [i]Nicely Nicely[/i] may know my identity. Earlier this year, he sent me a very polite e-mail regarding the usage of a certain "script".
I am not affiliated with [b]anybody[/b] in the racing business. I am just a life-long racing fan. As far back as grade school, I would walk a couple of extra blocks on my way home just to be able to stand outside the fence at the old Tropical Park Racetrack, where I could watch the horses come around the far turn and holler bets to my old man who was usually inside. Unfortunately, minors were not allowed inside the track at that time.
I now have multiple degrees in Engineering and Applied Sciences. One of my current jobs is to make 'performance figs' for liquid rocket engines. Least you wonder, I can assure you that there are more than a few similarities between making figures for the horses and making figures for space propulsion systems.
