Norbs is like me...except he is a lot smarter than me cause I got the looks.
But, he likes the tech stuff. If I buy a camera, I buy one with every bell and whistle known to man at that time. Same with electronics, etc. After the first week, I use the power button mainly. I like the technical aspect of things, and I like learning stuff. Most of the time I advise people just the opposite of what I might buy because I am experienced enuf to know the bells and whistles are not going to improve my actual performance, but having them makes me happy.
After a rough start, I became good friends with Bruce Plecan because he was really into the theory of things. I often did not agree with him, but, like Norbs, he was a lot smarter than me and I really enjoyed our discussions. I still regret that he passed. He was planning a road trip and was coming to visit me the spring he died.
Sean is right. If Norbs would stop using his Mini-Me (Brad) as ballast, he would pick up a couple of tenths.
Remember when Lawrence was making 1700 hp, or whatever it was, and running so damn quick? An old DFI fuel management, stock ignition, and a power glide. The converter made, or broke him, on any given day. Today, he would be laughed off the track because we all know that combo will not work. I forget what it weighed, but, it was not 5000 lbs
I suggest to not be too hard on Norbs cause he is faster than most of us when it is running!
