THANKS Dick!!!
Re: NASTE Gravity Racer Program
Great finish. Evidently the #2 finisher is a 3 time champ. I bet he was surprised.

Re: NASTE Gravity Racer Program
And then there were 4... Official progress has been made on the Mk IV. In keeping with its title, it will have 4 wheels and "adequate" brakes. It will be more of a canyon carver than derby winner challenger, but it may go to the hill in August anyway.

I sent the below message out to all on the Scuderia Kouba mailing list, but am also posting it here for all to see. If you're interested, drop me a line.

All,
I made an 8"x 8" photo album of last year's derby efforts on Shutterfly and now through Sun there is a free photobook code ("BOOK4SPRING") which will let you print one up for shipping costs ($8). I think I may be able to share the project with you and you can order one if you are so inclined- Bill and I are trying this exact experiment out right now.
If that's the case, and you're willing to cough up the $8 for shipping, let me know and I will forward the project to you through Shutterfly. You may end up on their email list as a result but I imagine you can opt out of those.
Looking forward to seeing what the hill holds for us this year, and (hopefully) successfully defending the championship!
CK
