I think I have a good game plan, but you just don't know until you hit the gas. Anyhow, we've shaken off what happened at the first race, and we're excited to get to Phoenix. We did some testing there, and it went well. We might have started the year with a couple of mishaps, but that's not going to be the story of our season."
