Saturday update: While waiting for tonight's Arturo Gatti boxing match from Atlantic City, the mood is upbeat in the 8 camp. A great set of practices and a lucky break while scuffing tires. One tire didn't seem right to tire specialist Jim Bender, so he had the Goodyear folks check it out. After cutting the tire open, it seems the lining was being held together by a strip of duct tape. (I'll pause and let that sink in a second.) I shudder to think how lucky it was to be discovered after a single, slow lap of practice. It could have been a disaster if the problem had revealed itself while at speed.
