Hey IOOK'ers,
Last week Liz (the wife that hasn't made Dayton, yet) was at a
convention for Oil & Gas people in Salt Lake City, Utah. I joined her
for the weekend AND LOW AND BEHOLD, I found the IOOK OLYMPIC BOBSLED
RESEARCH FACILITY in nearby Park Cities, Utah. I volunteered to be the
first IOOK Vice-President to be hurtled down a concrete channel in a
four-person Bobsled reaching extreme speeds and 4-G turns!
Attached is a picture just seconds before Liz and I (I'm third from
front with glasses) were sent down the Bobsled known as "The Comet." It
took about 60 seconds at 70+ mph. Can you see the 2 meter whip on the
safety bar?
Maybe it should be re-named the "K-Bobsled?"
