Re: Tricks of the Trade
Wayne,
Thanks for the acknowledgement! I just want to tell you that my recent trip
to China (January) may prove to have generated a great wealth of ancient
knowledge as was told to me by the Chinese Professor who invited me. I'm
working on some things now that will be made public at the weigh-off on
September 30th. I feel this information could push us (as a group of
sport/hobbyist) well into the 2,000 lb (1 ton) range and beyond. It's big -
real big! So stay tuned.
