Ed,
Please bring copies (electronic is OK) to Tracy's.  I am interested in 
understanding the math and would like to work thru the theory.  Even though I'm 
planning on a peripheral port engine this is really interesting stuff.  
Besides, if I were to come up with a RX-8 motor then I might need this info.

Also, you guys need to come to Tracy's and Laura's Fly-in.  More fun than 
Oshkosh!  I'm driving 13 hours to get there and consider it time well spent.  
You won't be sorry.

Ken Powell
