I came out of my motorhome at the event and in the penumbra of my motorhome, I saw .............

OK Jim, don't look it up, what is the definition of "penumbra"

I will buy you dinner at a race if you know the answer without looking it up.

Dave...your money is safe. I had to look it up!

Now, I have to figure out a way to include "penumbra" in future coverage.

Reminds me of my day job. A former coworker and I used to challenge each other to work specific words into advertising we were writing. I challenged him to work the word "protozoa" into a radio commercial for a strip club. He wrote "Our dancers do more splits than a protozoa."

Jim,
I do not like or do well with advanced English, I appreciate what you guys do, and the only reason I used that word was that when I looked up penultimate, it was the next word in my 1962 vest pocket edition websters that is in my back office desk. I may still buy you dinner some day.

No dinner necessary but stop by and say hi sometime.

As for the words, sometimes I just try to spice things up a bit. I prefer bad puns but don't often have the opportunity.

I agree with Pistol Pete...spread out the points races. How about once a month...May-Oct? But then...with all the other racing going on...it would take a real "juggling act" to make it work for everyone...then you run into the "Dutch" towards the end of the year, etc. I think I remember the "old" New England Dragway points meet as being held in August...maybe a week or two prior to Indy...right?
