<VV> polishing your tires (humor?)

[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

What kind of shoe polish do you use??? The BBRT bunch
uses black !!! <GGG>
       WTBRT will be in St. Augustine for the Corvair Affair autocross.
WTBRT # 112 will be racing against The Flying Pig Team and others.
We will begin with run 166 and continue the tradition of  excellence in
autocrossing the ULTRA way.
