Pip,..F1 cars are awesome I agree..I mean the transmission alone costs more than an entire NASCAR stock car..but..The NASCAR is much more difficult to drive. They are not nearly as forgiving when approaching corners..If you get into a corner too hot in a cup car road course race, you are very likely to spin...And even on the ovals, the cars are much harder to drive...No traction control..no automatic upshifting. In reality a 90 pound whimp with good driving skills can drive an F1all day long...but he will not hold up in a 500 mile NASCAR race...I am not saying NASCAR is better than F1 at all,..I am just saying that Montoya is working his arse off on Sundays.
Actually if you want to see true skill,..Come to the U.S. and watch some dirt track racing,...Something I could really get into is Road Rally..This is close to what I grew up doing on the backroads as a teenager...That's the way we drive in rural American backroads...well the adrenaline junkies anyway.
I want to do a F1 experience in the future,..How much does this cost in Europe?
Skippy- Is Marco Martin an Aussie?(Road Rally)
Austin_ good dessert driving song- Robert Plant,.."Big Log"
Goodnight all!!

Satchurator update-...I found one of the presets on my GSP 2101 with a nice delay and killed the distortion and used the Satchurator,..I like it for a change,..It sounds really good with the gain backed down to about 1/3.. nice and gritty..been diggin on some slow c minor blues tonight for about 1 hour straight,..I love this pedal so far.

Joe,
I've invented a circuit that allows a whole new control for placement of effects on a pedalboard. All controlled from the pedalboard while playing. It is a wonder why no one has thought of it before. Please contact me. I'm trying to schedule an appointment with Peavey to pitch it to them. I have a patent on it already, but it could be improved upon. Please take a wild chance on this. I bet you'd use it if you like playing as much as I do, and like having more control of my effects while playing.
Please email me at glenpoland@yahoo.com if you're interested. And feel free to check to see if I'm for real.

AUSTIN: I second Pip's suggestion, you should just make a CD of all the recorded versions of Summer Song (official and bootlegs), and that should cover all your trip...
I love to drive and sing, I had a blast driving from El Paso to Tucson singing along to Scenes from a Memory, Train of Thought and Octavarium (all Dream Theater). Problem was, I blew out my vocal cords, took me about a year to be able to sing properly again!!
Still I would suggest the whole DT catalog, LTE 2, Paradise Lost by Symphony X, some Maiden, Megadeth, Disturbed, Miles Davis or Eric Johnson when you're driving towards the sunset.
Another stop you may want to make is between Alamogordo and Las Cruces, on I-70, I drove by there once and saw a sign for some sort of Nasa museum. I didn't stop, and have no idea of the name, but if you're into the space thing you probably want to stop by.

Got Blackhawks flying over our office at the moment for Grand Prix preparations in Melbourne.
The Who is playing the Grand Prix concert BTW, would be interesting...........
burly - I haven't heard of Marco Martin myself - I'm a general sports fan not a diehard car racing fan (talk to my brother, his cat's name is "Ambrose" LOL) so not sure.

Thanks for the music suggestions, everyone. No time to reply right now (other than to say Summer Song will be excluded...haha), but I'll catch up when I'm back.
Feel free to follow me on twitter if you like (http://twitter.com/alewis525), but I don't know how much I'll post there. And I can't access the internet with my phone so I won't be able to read your replies until after my trip.
I plan on taking lots of pictures and doing other stuff that I'll share when I return.
Oh, and if we get any huge Chickenfoot news (like tour dates or an album release date), I expect one of you T2Jers with my phone number to give me a call and let me know. :-)
I should be back late Friday night / early Saturday morning. Until then...
...Austin...

JSPhil: Give 'im time. He's got, oh, ages reallly. Ok, Saturday...Just come back from a HARD ride...only 13 miles, but boy what a head wind. Don't you just hate it when it's windy? Makes life soooo much harder. All in the name of fitness though. You ever done a time trial? We'v got some 30min 10s starting next week, so I should be finding out how much all the pain has helped soon! Like the Song you found as well...

Scuba- I prefer conversation as opposed to surfing for the facts,.kinda like walking into the local farmer hangout and asking Jim Bob if it's gonna rain when I just watched the weather before leaving home. I take the "Tommy Boy" approach,..Like taking a good look at a t- bone steak by sticking my head up a bull's A**, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it. Sometimes I may ask questions I already know the answer to and sometimes I am completely clueless...I just enjoy conversation..:)

Scube- I can sit and read for hours..no days on the net about scuba diving,..but for now you are my primary source..Foe example..I know I will never convince Pip that NASCAR is a great form of racing..I know that..accept it..I wanted to build a relationship with Pip,..Hey that rhymes!..And I knew that Roy's surname did not appear to be of Spanish descent, but I wanted to hear it from Roy,..You see I am an Aquarius / Horse in relation to the Zodiac,..although I do not put a great deal of stock in the Zodiac's prediction of the future, I do believe that your personality is formed partly by when you are born..I like to be around people and value friends over silver or gold. So if I ask you a dumb question..just shake your head and know that I am seeking coversation. It would be great to go and hang out with Guitar Vibes in the Netherlands, or with Alan for a couple of Irish beers and play some geetar. but this is as close as I can get.:-)Please exuse any awkward attempts I make to spark conversation and just know that I consider you a friend.
