Yeah the 196 is awesome up by the fence. But is no slouch in the middle or bottom either. The dude is just on. Like was said by smallwood, guys through trial and error find something. Seems to me that's the case here. Other guys, or those who do their homework will catch up eventually. Seen this senario many times. That's why you can never be happy with as fast as you are, cuz in racing someone is working to catch you and will if you rest on what works now. Yeah the 82 is as good as any pole jockeying around the bottom. But the 196 has up'd the ante to the other extreme!
