Mario,

Thanks for standing them back up. I did pick up the other banding and clips, which should be much easier to attach. We can add the band at the bottom and see what it does, but adding more weight can't be a bad thing.

I may be able to get down to the track this afternoon, as it looks like I need to go into Boulder later today.
