What Are The Odds?

  I think I should have made a blog about being obsessed with numbers because this is where I'm headed on this one.  If it were really about racing, I wouldn't have time to do it, so number obsessing it is.  This excerpt involves the run time analysis of our closest competitors going into the last race at Famoso in 19 days.

  As I've gone on about for what seems like a million years; the top three fuel funny car teams are within 24 points, or just over round apart.  For me, this means - examine the data!  I'm pretty certain that I've diced, sliced and dissected the numbers every way you possibly can.  This results are the same and that's why we don't race 'em on paper....

   While I'm doing this, I'm also watching the Lambrecht auto auction on television.  Fascinating!  I wish the man who put all of these treasures away could be here to see this event; it's pretty amazing.  There are estimates of 10,000 people there to bid.  The challenge is to understand why it was that he wouldn't sell any used cars.  There are a ton of cars out there that will make beautiful restorations and even prettier race cars.

  There's not much more to say about the number crunching...I think I'll check out this auto auction!
