If they are smiling and looking over their shoulder after they pass you, then that's one of them. I don't mean "you" in particular, but I'll be smiling if I get past you and you can count on some ribbing from Dino and Rip too. All in good fun of course.

KB - make sure you're in on the races (they are VERY informal but good courses). Rip can go pretty fast...but only in a straight line I think.:saint:
