What I don't get, and I caution this with my limited knowledge, is if the shipping is such a problem, why don't they ship him in 5 or 6 weeks before a race? Can someone with more knowledge than I answer that?

I still think it is a humidity/breathing problem for Lava Man. SoCal is semi-arid. Florida, Japan, New York, and Kentucky are continental or tropical climates with higher humidity. Dubai will be the test of this theory, since it also has a drier climate. Looking forward to it. Go Lava Dude.

I have been thinking on it, and I hope Lava Man goes over there and stomps that ass soundly...

I have seen every race from the Dubai Carnival this year so far, and he is in pretty tough if the big guns roll.

But it sure would be something if he pulled it off. It would be the story of the year in my opinion.

Lava Man is our country's version of Mummify, Might and Power, and Fields of Omagh and everyone wants to bitch about his weaknesses.

As of today, I am pulling for him as hard as anyone in 10 days time.
