Dave,

I don't think I ever said I don't believe in PH in principle. What I have said is I am willing to help someone make a system work better in our geographic area. I don't want to take over the whole scheme. Only tweak it where we race, as an experiment. If that works out well, them perhaps it might spread to other areas.

You certainly don't want to scrap the existing system in one brash move and you don't want to force any of it where it is not universally desired.

And John, I only checked into Wouter's system to see what he had. It seems that all of the measurement systems have similarities and may only be useful to us as starting points for new or rare platforms.

How can I help without causing grief and concern within the present structure?

As I said in the beginning, I am reluctant to get too deeply involved, mainly because I believe I have technological deficiencies.

I don't know Darlene, but from what I can tell, she does a great job with the resources that are presented her.

However, that in itself can be limiting and hence...discouraging.
