I went to Pike's Peak many years ago and was told that the engines of
the VW we were trucked in had special aspiration arrangements - no
surprise there.

But the people didn't have the same arrangements! Soon after we
arrived, some kids started running around and throwing snowballs fairly
indiscriminately. But one guy just smiled and said 'Don't worry, folks,
it won't last long'. And how true, within a minute the kids were
horizontal... :-)

Cheers,

Dave
