Who's that dude who wraps things like jetties and bridges and makes a bazillion dollars from it? Christo? Maybe kgar can give him a jingle and get on this one?

The forecast isn't that ominous. The '07 and '08 Oaks were some of the worst downpours I've ever been in and the track held up just fine...
