And just when I was getting excited about seeing how my g-sum looked for my run-offs data. Oh well, since CC would not do it, I ran it myself so now I know.

Does that mean I need to start calling myself low character?

Oooooohhhh, now I see what all the fuss was about. I figured given the Diaso or whatever that screamin blue thing you drive around in is that you were being accused of being a low car actor.... just figured that was some new fangled technical term for someone who drives an aero car on timed stages. Ever since this G-Sum debate started I'm easily confused.

Ohh! And now you've gone and insulted my Diasio by misconstruing a low-character, really fast DSR by some other competitor as a Diasio. For the record, if Mark and I were to race head to head, I could always claim that it's not the driver's fault, that Stohr is just too fast for me. Always have a plausible excuse, that's my plan

Jees---ummmm.

Guess my main issue is simply that we've all heard it before....several times... the folks that think it has merit can use it... those that don't don't... we just don't need to hear it on every thread that mentions DAS.

I predict....

...in about 5 to 6 months, we'll be resurrecting this thread again for obvious reasons...

We all got a kick out of it.

Looks like I need to get to Barnes & Noble soon. Actually, I need to bit the bullet and buy a bloody subscription.

I get a blank screen. Which magazine is this, and do you need their reader to view it?

What's a wallet?

Oh yeah, it's that thing my wife has that I used to own.

Yeah, I really need to get that magazine. I think I'll get NISsport to spring for it next year.

Works for me at the office. I guess my firewall at home is too restrictive!

LOL, if this thread continues resurrecting itself it will become another ColorFast classic... esp. when he "returns"

BTW, has anyone mentioned to him that even if his theory is correct, AND he happens to memorize and utilize it, it still may not be effective?

I know a theory of how to play 9-ball. First, you break, then shoot lowest number ball, so yellow, then blue, then red, purple, orange, green, maroon, black, yellow stripe and you win! Easy... the theory says so! Alas, I think I may be lacking some execution.....

Has anyone mentioned to him that between theory and the actual *execution* of said theory is quite a gap?
