We tried flipping our lines a little bit to lend maybe a little more balance. We're just trying to blend our experience, skills and youth a little better.

We?re trying to do a nice balance that works for everybody in the area, and then we?re also re-profiling Black Rock Road, to help soften the grades that are out there today; they?re pretty steep in that first-curve area.

On balance, I've been trying to sell out my suburban properties. Strategically, for me and for Jack it's been the right thing to do.

We aren't trying to shut the door on anyone. We're trying to get a balance.

They're trying to balance things out and I can't fault them for that. But I wish they would consider the uniqueness of our sport. It's not a sport that you can come in and start as a ninth-grader. It's too demanding with strength and flexibility. It's a demanding sport, and there's only a limited number of girls who do it.

We have good balance; we don't have to depend on a star player to carry us.
