FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State track and field program on Tuesday announced the signing of nine student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. The class of 2012 is highlighted by two Gatorade Runner of the Year recipients.

Tyler Schultz, Custer High School; Custer, S.D.
Gus Waneka, Thompson Valley High School; Loveland, Colo.
Kordell Deffebaugh: Deffebaugh, a senior at Montbello High School in Denver, Colo., will add some speed to the Rams' sprint squad.
He holds personal records of 11.0 seconds in the 100-meter dash, 21.9 in the 200-meter dash, 48.33 in the 400-meter dash and 7.03 in the 60-meter dash.
He is a member of the honor roll and recipient of the Hope Scholarship.
Monica Franco: Monica Franco won't have a far drive to her first day of college as the Fort Collins native signed a National Letter of Intent to compete for the Rams this week.
Franco, a Fort Collins High School standout, holds the school record in the high jump, with a mark of 5 feet, 7 inches. She finished third at the 2010 state meet in the event.
Franco also holds the school record in the 100-meter hurdles, with a time of 15.12 seconds. She took eighth in the event at the 2010 state meet.
She also swam in high school for the Lambkins.
"Monica has an amazing work ethic with a 'team comes first' mentality," said assistant coach Tim Cawley. "I am very excited to see what she can do in the heptathlon."
Jessica Green: Green, the younger sister of current CSU multis athlete Justin Green, was the 2011 Texas 100-meter hurdles state champion. She also took third in the high jump at the state meet. Her performances earned her all-state track and field honors.
The Liberty Hill, Texas, native qualified for the Texas Relays in the high jump and was named to the Austin American Statesman Central Texas Top 50 her junior season.
As a sophomore, Green took fourth in the high jump at the state meet after winning the district championship in the event and taking runner-up at the regional meet. She was also the district champion in the 100-meter hurdles and the 800-meter relay.
She qualified for regionals in the high jump her freshman year.
Green is a member of the National Honor Society and a three-year member of the honor roll at Liberty Hill. She also competed in basketball and softball.
"Jessica is an all-around athlete who has the dedication and passion to be a great heptathlete," said Cawley. "She is also a fierce competitor and should fit in well with the team."
Alexandra Hess: Hess, a Sioux Falls, S.D., native, won the 2011 AA state cross country championship, finishing the 4K race with a course- and school-record time of 14:19.5.
Hess is a three-time all-state cross country selection, and was named the 2011 South Dakota Gatorade Runner of the Year. She was also named to the 2009 Nike Heartland all-region team.
She was a member of the 2008 AA state champion team, which went on to qualify for the Nike cross country national meet.
In her four years at Sioux Falls Roosevelt High School she has recorded three top-10 finishes at the state cross country meet, and four top-six finishes at the state track meet.
Hess holds personal records of 19:00.0 in the 5K, 11:30.0 in the 3,200 meters, and 5:14.00 in the 1,600 meters. Her fastest time in the 800 meters is 2:18.0.
Hess has maintained a 4.0 grade point average throughout high school and will be receiving the highest academic scholarship at CSU, the Presidents.
"Alex is one of those rare student-athletes that is equally gifted in the classroom and on the cross country course," said assistant coach Bryan Berryhill. "When you can get an athlete with a 4.0 grade point average, state champion in cross-country, and state course record holder you can't help but be very excited about her future.
Pauline Mandel: Mandel, a senior at Great Oak High School in Temecula, Calif., was a member of the 2010 Division I CIF cross country championship team.
As a senior she took ninth at the CIF Southern Section cross country finals, and 16th at the state championships.
She was named Athlete of the Week by ESPN Los Angeles the week of Oct. 26, 2010.
Mandel holds personal records in the 1,600-meter run of 5 minutes, 4 seconds, and in the 3,200-meter run of 11:12.0.
She also ran personal bests in the three-mile run at the Woodbridge Invite, finishing in 17:03.0, and in the 5K at the Baldwin Park Invite, clocking in at 17:31.0.
"Pauline is going to have an immediate impact this fall for our cross-country team," said Berryhill. "She is an extremely mature athlete that I believe will run in our top 5 as a freshman. We are excited to get her on campus.
Jacob Morgan: Over the last calendar year Morgan was named the 2011 Kansas Gatorade Runner of the Year, defended his 6A cross country state title, and finished a perfect undefeated season.
The Washburn Rural High School standout was the 2011 and 2010 6A cross country champion. During his senior season Morgan went undefeated, winning every race by 12-plus seconds. His most impressive performance came at the 2011 Rim Rock Farm High SchoolCross Country Classic, where Morgan set a course record of 15 minutes, 13.18 seconds, in a first-place effort.
Milesplit.com ranked him as high as 18th nationally following his senior season. He was a four-time all-city selection as named by the Topeka Capital-Journal. Morgan recently placed 15th at the Foot Locker Midwest regional championships.
He finished ninth at the 2009 state meet his sophomore year and fourth in 2008 as a freshman.
As impressive as Morgan has been on the course he is equally, if not more, impressive in the classroom, maintaining a 4.10 grade point average throughout high school. He is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and National Honor Society. Morgan regularly volunteers at his school's tutoring program and at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
"Jacob brings with him a lot of hardware from his high school running and academic career," said Berryhill. "He is one of the best cross-country runners to ever sign with the Rams. He was consistently ranked as one of the top 25 cross-country runners in the USA this past fall. He will have an immediate impact for our cross-country team."
Marina Roberts: Roberts, who is from Kingston, Wash., a state known for its excellent high school distance running, was the 2011 state champion in the 1,600 meters. She also recorded two second-place finishes in the 3,200 meters at the 2010 and 2011 state track meets.
As a freshman, Roberts placed seventh at the state cross country meet. She then earned two second-place finishes at the state meet her sophomore and junior seasons. As a senior she took third.
She holds personal records of 5:05.0 in the 1,600 meters, 10:54.00 in the 3,200 meters and 2:21.0 in the 800 meters.
Roberts, who comes from a family of champion distance runners, will be receiving the Dean's academic scholarship at CSU after maintaining a 3.9 grade point average in high school.
"Marina is a tremendous student-athlete who excels in the classroom and on the track," said Berryhill. "She will have an immediate impact for the Rams. Anytime you can sign an athlete that is a state champion from Washington you know you have a winner on your hands."
Tyler Schultz: Schultz is not only is one the newest members of the Colorado State track and field team, he is also a world-renowned traveler.
The Custer, S.D., native spent last summer traveling the globe, competing at the World Youth Championships in Lille, France, where he took second in the shot put, and at the Caribbean Scholastic Invitational in Puerto Rico, where he won the shot put and discus.
Schultz also competed at the 2010 Junior Olympics, winning the shot put and discus, as well as the New Balance indoor nationals, finishing third in the shot put.
After competing in football and basketball at Custer High School his freshman and sophomore seasons Schultz decided to focus solely on track and field due in part to his success. Schultz was the 2009 state runner-up in the discus his freshman season. A year later he took home his first state championship in the discus and runner-up honors in the shot put.
Schultz returned to the state meet a year later defending his discus crown and winning his second state title in the event. He also placed second in the shot put.
Schultz's personal record in the shot put of 63 feet, 8.5 inches, is fifth best all-time in South Dakota history. His top mark in the discus is 13th-best all-time in the state.
"Tyler will make an instant impact on our throws program next season," said Head Coach Brian Bedard. "He shows the ability to score in multiple events at the conference level and has the talent to make it to nationals in one or two events. Tyler also has international experience competing in high-level meets as a high-school athlete. This experience is invaluable when making the jump to collegiate competition."
Gus Waneka: Waneka, a Loveland, Colo., product, finished second at the 2011 4A cross country state championships his senior year. He earned a fifth-place finish at the Nike Southwest regionals and later went on to place 40th at the Nike nationals meet in Portland, Ore.
He holds the school record in the two-mile run, with a time of 9 minutes, 43 seconds.
His personal record in the mile is 4:27.0 and 1:58.0 in the 800-meter run.
"Gus is an amazing student-athlete that is mature beyond his years," said Berryhill. "He has the type of character that when you meet him you instantly want him part of your program. I can't wait to see Gus running in the green and gold this coming fall."

|As referred to below, a few of the positive reports are obviously spurious if you look at the poster's records , including one whose only other contributions is a spoiler of the nearest pub. The name 'Honest Doug' makes me smile as I am pretty sure that he is very closely related to the landlord. Very closely indeed.
The fact is that the landlady has absolutely no idea as how to behave in the in the world of hospitality and the landlord will never acknowledge a mistake in his cooking. The beer is kept well although pricey - and the pub itself is a pleasant place. Unfortunately, the place is usually staffed by young waitresses who are no substitute for a 'mine host'.

|Booked a group in for a midweek lunch. Rather disappointing - great location and a good selection of beers and cider, but the food was poor - some dishes very over-salted, others saturated in fat.
Yokel - 18 Jul 2011 21:32
|My family and I met at this pub as it is between Bristol and Exeter where we live and it is not far from the M5. We arrived to notice that the Sunday Carvery was advertised at a different price outside the pub and on the internet to the inside. When I questioned this I was met with a frosty and defensive reply and was told 'it's only a pound difference'. There were 6 in our group, meaning the total bill would be Ł6 more... in these tough times, not to be sniffed at! Had the food been worth the price we would have been satisfied, but although the meat was cooked beautifully, the vegetables left a lot to be desired. They were overcooked and cold and the gravy was very thin. I am a vegetarian and the option was a rather unusual half a butternut squash roasted with feta cheese, rosemary and garlic. Unfortunately this was bland and the lumps of cooked feta cheese didn't go well together. Our puddings were very tasty, but unfortunately they weren't piping hot as we would have liked. The service was poor and we regularly had to leave our seats to ask staff for further drinks, the bill and when we wanted to pay the bill, the card machine! I would definately not go to the maypole again and won't be recommending to friends or family.

|The Maypole is a wonderful family friendly pub, with a great selection of good food which caters really well for little ones (great to see some "healthy" options on there for them too!).
The staff are always welcoming and helpful, and the beer garden in the summer is just fantastic! Well recommended.

All I have learned has been self-taught or trial and error. My family and friends coaxed me into doing this this year. Personally, I'm nervous and excited at the same time."
Alberta's profile
Sierra Cole, Grand Rapids, formerly of Greenville
Title: (title is pending)
Displayed at: San Chez Bistro & Cafe, 38 W. Fulton.
Medium: Cotton fabric, ink, embroidery floss.
Description: "These images are inspired by a body of work that was started 10 years ago as an undergraduate in the Department of Art at Michigan State University. By looking at cellular structures and examining plant life at its most basis form, this work becomes a brief snapshot of chaotic events that are the construct of everyday life. By digitizing elements of pictures created a decade ago, I am able to design new compositions utilizing PhotoShop. This new image is printed on cotton fabric by a large-format digital textile ink jet printer. The pieces are then reworked with traditional stitches using embroidery floss."
Background: "Sierra graduated from Michigan State University in 2000 with a bachelor's degree of fine art with a focus on graphic design and printing. For the past nine years she has been designing and creating a line of boiled wool handbags and hats. As a working artist, she sells her work at fine art shows throughout the Midwest.

Title: "Peace Upon The River"
Displayed at: Cambridge House, 600 Monroe Ave. NW.
Medium: Acrylic painting.
Description: "This painting is of a large, old Japanese maple tree in blazing fall colors growing beside a raging river in the wilderness. It represents that there is a way to find peace even amongst the feelings of wilderness and raging rivers of life."
Background: "I am a self-taught artist. My love of nature and animals has brought me from painting pet portraits to photographing landscapes. Being a photographer has also influenced my paintings and the subjects that I find interesting. I love most forms of art, but painting is where I find most joy."
Dood's profile
Brian Duey, Howard City
Title: "Tori's Portrait"
Displayed at: Waters Building, 161 Ottawa Ave. NW.
Medium: Graphite pencil.
Description: "My entry is a work in progress. The portrait is a larger than life drawing of my girlfriend, Tori."

Sue Greenhoe, Orleans
Title: "Butterflies Illuminated #1″
Displayed at: West Coast Coffee, 55 Monroe Center St. NW.
Medium: Mixed media: abaca and cotton paper pulp with inclusions.

I have actively studied and integrated handmade papermaking using various types of paper pulp, botanical and natural inclusions, light and shade topography, as well as illumination."

Background: "It is about trying to find a timeless beauty, something that speaks to all of us at the core of our humanity. It's about honoring and valuing skilled labor, the sort that challenges us to develop our bodies and minds. It's about the natural, sensual world, being very tactile objects that let the materials and tools have a voice in their creation. Finally, it's about gently guiding attention to space within, our inner being and the wonder of life."
Huang's profile
Eston King, Greenville
Title: "Enrico's Dilemma"
Displayed at: McFadden's Restaurant & Saloon, 55 Ionia Ave. SW.
Medium: Mixed media.
Description: "My ArtPrize entry was inspired by the opera tenor, the late Enrico Caruso. In his short 48 years of life, he contributed a maximum amount of talent to the music world. He enjoyed life and I know he would have gotten a kick out of my tribute to him."
Background: "Eston King has lived in (the Greenville) area for most of his 76 years. He is basically self-taught, although in the 1950s he studied under instructors Gerald Mast and Paul Haller Jones, who taught at the Grand Rapids Art Gallery. He enjoys working in just about every medium."

Displayed at: First United Methodist Church, 227 E. Fulton St.
Medium: Acrylic paint, canvas boards, paper, photographs.
Description: "I lost my mother, father, uncle, aunt, brother-in-law and very dear friend to cancer. My project is a photography piece that will display the photos of the people left behind, while also including a photo of the ones who have passed. There will be a blank note next to the photos for ArtPrize visitors to write their own note to their loved one or express their feelings of how cancer affected them. My purpose is to give an artistic outlet to those who are hurting, grieving and missing the ones they love, a way to show cancer that even through the pain of the loss it has caused, we are still standing."
Background: "I am a married mom of two beautiful children. I work in the medical field currently as a medical transcriptionist, but my love is for art. It has forever been my passion. I have developed a deeper love for photography as I have gotten older. My favorite is portrait work. I love capturing the expressions and personalities of people."
Longfellow's profile
Darryl Love, Howard City
Title: "Fiskateer"
Displayed at: West Coast Coffee, 55 Monroe Center St. NW.
Medium: Oil painting on board.
Description: "This was sketched out and painted after waking up from a really crazy dream. It combines surrealism, comics and abstract expression."
Background: "I'm a freelance artist. My original style is molded from watching movies, surrealism, comics, graffiti art and a general interest in all things strange and bizarre. I've been drawing since I was a child. In high school I was mentored by a tattoo artist who pulled back a curtain and opened the door to the universe of painting. I am working on a portfolio for Warner Bros. and DC Comics."
Love's profile
Don Pangborn, Sand Lake
Title: "North of Rockford"
Displayed at: Waters Building, 161 Ottawa Ave. NW.
Medium: Acrylic on canvas.
Description: "It is an imaginary place from childhood memories, made from the shapes of trees, fields and clouds."

Pangborn's profile
Michelle Pittman, Sand Lake
Title: "Geo Rhapids"
Displayed at: Huntington Bank, 50 Monroe Place NW.
Medium: Photography.
Description: "'Geo Rhapids' is a black and white photograph featuring downtown Grand Rapids. I use line and shape in my work to transform ordinary facades into extraordinary geometric works of art. Unusual perspectives, patterns, interpenetrating shapes, shadows and lines give a unique view of a city we think we know so well. Working in black and white gives the piece an even more abstract feeling."
Background: "I am a native of Grand Rapids. I have lived in the city for many years, work and attend college here. I love the fantastic architecture we have downtown and the rich history it holds. I love the freedom of expression that art gives. I love trying new techniques in my work and learning from other talented artists."
Pittman's profile
Judy Rogers, Gowen
Title: "Shine the Light of Michigan!"
Displayed at: Vander Hyde Mechanical Inc., 1058 Scribner Ave. NW.
Medium: Acrylic, metal, wood.
Description: "I'm creating a lighthouse. It has six sides on each panel. There will be a mural of a lighthouse. The lighthouse is approximately 12 feet tall, representing each of the five Great Lakes. On the sixth panel there will be a map of Michigan showing the location of all the lighthouses in Michigan. It will be a working lighthouse powered by solar energy. My goal is to promote tourism in Michigan and green energy."
Background: "I graduated in 1981 from Kendall College of Art and Design, then again in 2000 with a bachelor of fine arts degree. I currently work for Greenville Public Schools as a teacher assistant and I also substitute teach. I do freelance art work, mainly murals for homes, businesses and plays. I have loved to draw since I was 9 years old. Working at Cedar Crest Elementary gives me a chance to show my love for art with the children."
Rogers' profile
Angie Ruff, Greenville
Title: "Hydrogen Blonde, Vintage Barbie: Mod Era"
Displayed at: Echo Salon, 24 Sheldon Blvd. SE.
Medium: Oil on board.
Description: "'Hydrogen Blonde' is an oil panting measuring 44 inches tall by 72 inches wide. It is a portrait of three Barbie dolls. I realize that Barbie comes with her justified share of feminist controversy, but I thoroughly enjoy her pop art value."
Background: "I am a self-taught painter and my concentration is in portraits. I love to paint pets as well as people and, yes, even Barbie dolls. I prefer a modern, funky style as opposed to anything too traditional."
Ruff's profile

Displayed at: St. Cecelia Music Center, 24 Ransom Ave. NE.
Medium: Mixed media: sculpture/painting.

Displayed at: Waters Building, 161 Ottawa Ave. NW.

Description: "Heavenly Companion is a stained class creation using a copper foil technique. It was inspired by the fact that true friendship does not die with the death of a loved one."
Background: "In 1989 I restored a historical home in Greenville and opened a bed and breakfast. This home had a beautiful stained glass window. Fascinated by the beauty of the refractivity of light, I took classes to learn how to build stained glass windows. During the past 20 years I have been testing various techniques and working in the medium of stained glass."

Making a dust box for a saw stand
I am getting set to build a cabinet type stand for my miter saw. The plans are here. http://www.popularwoodworking.com/up.../290/fea39.pdf
I am going to modify them some to allow for use of an outside shop vac instead of the built in one. I know I can plug a hose into the dust port of my saw, but I wonder how the dust shelf of this cabinet works. Shouldn't there be an opening or several in the top of the cabinet to allow sawdust to fall down onto the shelf. (And if I go with the adjustable platform per the plan, shouldn't it have similar openings?) Then my shop vac would also plug into an opening in the back of the dust box. (Actually, I would plug its hose into a pvc pipe that teed into the back of the dust box and the saws dust port. I would add a little inner door so as to turn the dust shelf into a dust box.
Does this make sense?

I have one of the ChopShop hoods from Fastcap. They can be folded down when not in use.
The new ones are all white and mount directly to my DeWalt 12" SCMS
(pic is from FastCap)
how do you like your chop shop hood??
DBR, I keep the ChopShop hood set up all the time in my garage for non production use. As you can guess the garage no longer holds a car. The hood helps keep the dust down. It is not easily portable so I use a $100 10" Hitachi. Overall I give the ChopShop a solid B.

I started doing my car the other week. Its very easy to work with
I started doing my car the other week. Its very easy to work with
Well I have looked at Lowe's, Home Depot, two Ace's, O'riellys, Wal-mart, and Auto Zone and I only found black and 1 can of white.
Looks like I'm going to have to order some white on line. I just wanted to paint my wheel white with some spray cans. I don't think 1 can is enough.

I bet the white dosent show the splotchy affect as bad as black. And I think I might insist on the "glossifier" being used. Except on the mirrors. Flat brushed is the goal.

Anyone have any idea of how many cans it would take to cover our cars with this stuff?
i did my previous wheels with the pastidip, quality product
^^ Very nice!!
Ive been thinking about plastidip for a long while now, but watching these just pushes me right up to the edge of pulling the trigger...
Well I ended up buying 2 cans of white and have started spraying 2 of my wheels. Sprayed 1 full can + 1 coat. Seems to be OK so far. Couple splatters here and there, but this is just for fun so we will see how it turns out.
Will take closer pictures with a better camera if they turn out OK.
1 coat
1/2 can + 1 coat
Plasti dip on anything other than emblems and little things is ghetto IMO.
Yea, I can understand not liking flat/matte paints. Everyone has different tastes. I really like the matte look, it is just something different to try. It can always be taken off.
I never thought I would see this plastidip thread in the tt forum.... i mean mk4... yah tt forum.

I really see nothing wrong with the idea of using Plasti dip on a car. Hearing people put it down (for anything other than the flat surface) is kinda stupid. For me it's going to come down to how good it looks when I'm done. I'll be hunting for cans this afternoon.
Hmm...2,000 for a respray of the entire car..or 200? Just seams to make sense to try this first haha
IMO, yes it does look tacky... for those that had no idea what they were doing or just decided to slap a few quick coats. But, just my opinion dudes.
Quality work costs $$$$. I just had my driver door done after an SOB did a hit and run: $1200.00 and my insurance company said that was "fair." Quality full respray will easily reach $4000-6000.
I'm sure Maaco or earl schieb or similar might do it for $2k...plus the bugs on the bumper are painted at no extra cost. ;-)
Just my 2 cents.
You don't own a TT, you support it: SOLD 7.18.15. 2001 LZ7W coupe; REVO chip; Forge hoses and DV relo; MadMax DV; OSIR corners, DEFCON2, 986 seats, 18in OZ Vela II; trunk mat; all weather floor mats; 4-piece Votex kit. My Mods and Primer Porn here: http://public.fotki.com/TTQ2K2/.
Yeah general rule around my area is save up at least $5k. I've seen plenty of maaco paint jobs with over spreay drips and peeling clear coat.

Let them sit overnight. I sprayed 2 full cans on 2 wheels. I think the texture looks fine for my first time spraying wheels. I still need 2 coats or so to make it look perfect (only noticeable in a few places). I was being very cautious and spraying light coats because I didn't want to over spray any areas. Then I ran out of paint and couldn't get anymore because my wheels were still drying.
Lighting wasn't very good so picture quality isn't that good
White wheels not very good on TT. Peels right off though, came off in one piece.

IMO - seems like there is a Plastidip bandwagon going on right now. Like - it's the cool trendy thing to do. After a year this will disappear and then probably resurface in another few years. It's just how things go. People tend to think, "Oh I can do this for only this much?"
I think there are def. applications of Plastidip that would be worthwhile, but to do a whole car or just do it for giggles - is kind of silly IMO.
They hit up their wheels, emblems, interior, roof, hood, etc. So in reality it is the cheesy trend it just hasn't hit the TT world because we appreciate clean cars and the owners aren't in HS. Yours is already clean so don't ruin it with removable spray paint. but like you said; it is removable.
This is just my opinion. This is a forum not a circle jerk so of course there will always be people who disagree and agree. The beauty of the car world.

It doesn't come in a glossy paint? I know I cant find a match for my aviator grey, but I was going to do my roof black to hide a big scratch. How much is a can and how many would I need for my roof? Although that wont really matter if I can only get matte black
Sex should be like a Civic; slow, obscene, and loud enough for the neighbors to hear.

The Day I Will Never Forget
A film by
Kim Longinotto
England, 2002, 92 minutes, Color, 35mm/DVD
Order No. W03808
THE DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET is a gripping feature documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Kim Longinotto that examines the practice of female genital mutilation in Kenya and the pioneering African women who are bravely reversing the tradition. In this epic work, women speak candidly about the practice and explain its cultural significance within Kenyan society. From gripping testimonials by young women who share the painful aftermath of their trauma to interviews with elderly matriarchs who stubbornly stand behind the practice, Longinotto paints a complex portrait of the current polemics and conflicts that have allowed this procedure to exist well into modern times.
Demystifying the African tradition of female circumcision, Longinotto presents Nurse Fardhosa, a woman who is single-handedly reversing the ritual of female circumcision one village at a time by educating communities about its lasting emotional and physical scars. Also profiled are an inspiring group of runaway girls who are seeking a court injunction to stop their parents from forcing them to go through with the practice. Through their words the full implications of breaking with tradition are made clear, as is the incredible courage of the women and girls who risk social ostracism by taking a stand against the practice.

"Longinotto demystifies the practice of female genital mutilation through engrossing stories of Kenyan women...Gripping, devastating, but ultimately hopeful."
Sheffield International FF
"...immensely powerful... Longinotto makes intimate connections to most of her subjects."
Jumana Farouky
��Intimate and powerful�With great sensitivity [Longinotto] delivers the delicate substance of the custom��
Diane Weyermann
Sundance Film Festival
"Longinotto is known for her insightful, compassionate studies of women's lives, and the pull between tradition and change. In this new film, she achieves a difficult task, namely to make the complexity of the issues comprehensible, even when the practice itself may seem just the reverse."

I recognise that "racing improves the breed" But technology will still advance if its not developed in racing. F1 has dropped antilock brakes, TC and further back active suspension yet look at the latest Ferrari 458 it has the lot and active suspension has not been used in racing since 94. The point is looking for expensive things to drop whilst preserving the racing, electronics cost millions but is invisible and does not improve the show. As for stopping lesser riders crashing perhaps they should take up darts instead. Reply Report abuse 15 agree 2 disagree
