You are 100 percent right on everything you said.I wasn't trying to make fun of the term,just never knew what it meant.I mean,I kinda figured what it meant,but never talked to anyone who did.And like you said,I wasn't gonna ask and risk hurting somebody's feelings.The coolest guys at the track are usually the slowest.The big guys get big heads,sometimes.Hope noone took me as poking fun,cause I agree with you all the way.
