I was thinking there might be more WC racers than usual at Windrock this year due to the late season.

If Gracey ever cuts her hair it'll be SPY's fault.

A sign of things to come this season. No more "look at the time". Merely "look at the shoes and gloves". Close, but not quite the same for me.

@HandupGloves: Love it, I have to get myself a pair of those "drive thru" golf gloves. If you sold pants in the same pattern, I could channel my inner John Daly!
