		Kite even chuckles a bit at what he has just said, standing as tall as his 5-4, 125-pound frame will allow in front of the Blueprint Racing garage back in Gasoline Alley.
		That is a new, unproven outlook for young Kite, who spent more time and effort trying to keep his car off the wall than worrying about starting in the top 10 in his two previous visits to the 500 speedway.
		Kite chuckles again, small and boyishly, but also more wisely than the young driver who bounced from racing team to racing team as often as he bounced off the concrete walls of the speedways where the Indy Racing League competed during the past three seasons.
