So they figured out a way to lower their cats?! Must be an attempt to make them less easy to punt however probably slowed them down enough to take better aim! :lol:

WHAT CAUSES SHORT-LEGGED CATS?

It is impossible to say for sure which of several possible mutatin the eary "Kangaroo cats" actually had. The term "foreleg micromelia" suggests a mild form of the usually crippling condition Radial Hypoplasia (Polydactyl Cats), but the description of their smooth ferret-like gait and the apparent absence of extra toes does not support this diagnosis. They probably had one of the many forms of dwarfism that occurs in mammals. In contrast, modern Munchkins have "foreleg and hindleg micromelia".

The most common (and easily recognisable) short-limbed condition is achondroplasia dwarfism which shortens the long bones of the limbs while leaving the trunk (body) and head unchanged.. Achondroplasia dwarfism is characterised by abnormal body proportions. Achondroplasia dwarfism is the result of a dominant gene affecting the hormones which control bone growth. Typically, the growth of the limbs is stunted, while the size of the trunk and mental capacity are normal. It causes abnormally short and deformed limbs; this is most noticeable in short-legged dog breeds where the limbs are bowed or twisted. It also typically produces a large head with undershot (bulldog) jaw and crowded, misaligned teeth. Other cranial problems may occur due to the abnormal head shape. The limbs are frequently bowed which may result in poorly articulating joints. The vertebrae may also be affected. Although most affected cats are mentally normal, their abnormal body proportions may result in slow development in early kittenhood. The large head may result in kittens being delivered by caesarian section as they are unable to pass through the birth canal. Stuck kittens are likely to die and would likely cause the mother to die.

In the Munchkin; these short limbs are the distinguishing feature of the breed and the other deformities associated with achondroplasia are avoided (as far as possible) by careful selective breeding, avoiding breeding those individuals which have spine or chest deformities. Achondroplasia is typically associated with a large or abnormal head, but Munchkins do not have this trait, suggesting a different condition that mimics achondroplasia, most likely pseudochondroplasia.

Achondroplasia also occurs at random in the feline population due to mutation. It is a variable condition ranging from "nearly normal" to crippling with all legs severely deformed. The forelegs are usually more severely affected than the hindlegs. In animals this form of dwarfism ranges from mildly disabling to crippling if only one copy of the gene is inherited. If two copies of the gene are inherited, the trait is lethal and the embryos are either reabsorbed early on in pregnancy (this is the case with cats) or stillborn.

There are almost certainly other dwarf conditions in cats, although they may not have not been identified as distinct from the Munchkin mutation. Acromesomelia (acromesomelic dysplasia) is characterized by short arms, legs, and fingers, and a slightly enlarged head. Hypochondroplasia looks like mild achondroplasia, but is genetically different. Its effects are less pronounced and there are fewer associated health problems. In species where dwarfism is poorly documented, it is often misdiagnosed as achondroplasia. Pseudoachondroplasia also mimics achondroplasia, but leaves the head size and facial features unaffected and is associated with osteoarthritis and other orthopaedic problems.

WTF.... I only read first and last lines but..... WHAT ThE FUK!?!?!??!?!?!

The great thing is that the Texas boys are thinking about cats...

The Rocky Mtn folks will be spending their time learning the track. We may (probably will) get smoked on Saturday, but Sunday should be fun.

I called and was told first come first served. He did say that all the electrical connections were working now (in the past they must not have been).

In regards to a Friday "test" day:
I called about a week ago and they said it would be $150 for the entire day and $100 for 1/2 day (starting after lunch).
The Chicken song is complimentary. :lol:

Too early to make definite plans, but I'm shooting for the afternoon Happy Hour.

I am on the fence for hallet but have an extra Stereo and some tower speakers we could use for sound. Seemed like last time was a cluster for setting up to watch the 07 video... If someone can get sound and video out of a player into the projector, I can make sure they hear it down in bus stop. I even have a portable DVD player I can bring if the projector will take the yellow analog video input.

If the Colorado boys are providing the food...we can provide the entertainment.

Dunno about the garages.

Me too. I will take care of it. Why call the track? At TWS you pay for a garage when you sign up with NASA to race?

The covered spots are two cars wide and two cars deep. Sharing works fine but I tend to think that four cars in one spot gets pretty crowded. I've found that three cars sharing a covered spot leaves room for stuff and a picnic table in the shade. It also gives one car a bit more elbow room if it needs to be worked on extensively.

The covered spots also go pretty quickly. If you want one, you should try sooner rather than later. If you aren't in a covered spot, you are in the gravel/grass...

So the only paved parking is in a covered spot or garage?

I was planning on bringing my tarp but would like to be setup on pavement.

If the only paved area is under cover, Jerry / James, want a third?

I called today and was told to e-mail Connie. I have done that and I assume that James, Jeff W. and I are hooked up. Do you know if it's first come first served or do I need to ask for a certain spot?
