Limits of the Methodology?/ Cheap races - Pace and Cap

For The Lead · 03-09-2009, 01:07 AM

I have read some threads where a guy by the name of Jim (The Boot) McElwee was compared to Jim Bradshaw in his ability to select lines for contenders, to the point where inputting data became a matter of formality.

I have read many posts that talk about using this line or that line or best of last three or whatever, but I can tell you this, Jim McElwee is a friend of mine and we have worked races together for many, many years and he is a staunch believer that the unless there is a very good reason, and I mean a very good reason, the LAST line is the line.
