Not bad, John, even worthy of epigram status, a la Oscar Wilde; but too literate, lacking the pithiness and flow required for the PA-voice-from-above, and I doubt NickNick could get through it without stumbling.

If that won't serve, Walt's shorter mantra might: Race an hour, sleep an hour. It's a bit less obvious, but aficionados will understand.
I think that's got it. To the point, from a legendary source, with a racing heritage. Easy to announce.

And now, keeping the original intentions of this thread in mind, I am going to LEAD you all out of the wilderness, this being the END OF THIS DETOUR for me-- the wise among you would be well-served to FOLLOW.
