On the first run, nothing dialled-in, nothing tweaked, nothing adjusted, straight out of the box after a long and arduous winter, probably with some steering fluid in the gas, the Black Beauty reached on the GPS a breathtaking number.

In the interest of the F1 teams not throwing in the towel so shortly before Savannah, that number shall remain a secret.

(The number of a Swiss bank account may be disclosed if the transfer amount is sufficiently high.)

After the shakedown cruise, the Black Beauty had kept her poise.

A hose was found leaking, but that probably were her tears, because it was now time to say "ta-ta" to the wicked Kirk of Kryptonite, of whom the Black Beauty had grown a little fond after all.

The hose was replaced using the Black Beauty's floating parts depot, also known as Peconic's Kryptonite, which is awaiting completion. After this report, that date has been moved way, way, way back.

And then, it was time for Kirk to move on to the next, even racier project.

Next: How will the Black Beauty fare in Savannah, home of cottonpicking plantation owners and rednecks?

Black ???
