Which Tach?
Ah Mario ... I wonder how many years I suffered along with his other fans every Memorial Day when he was ever so close to winning his second Indy ...
Personally, I've got the reflexes of a two toed sloth, so racing (except maybe for bracket racing) is pretty much out of the question. I do like the machinery however.
I see your point regarding women and planes. Burning two gallons at 6 oz at a time has taken me a while ... add in all that chatting and gawking and 30 gallons a year would really eat up the time. Maybe the next time you could try sticking with a 30 gallon limit, and get a twin with really thirtsy engine!
Cheers!
