Don't think so unless I come onto you the second time around, can't
even see you in the rear view mirror. Oh, I get it, you think all of
the cars in front of you are that far behind you????? Throw out
something that is more brilliant than your last post, anything with
more than one letter will do.

The easiest way to follow along is to delete all the previous text out
except what the person you are responding to said.

Freshen up. No, completely a non-automotive term. It is never used. Ever.
(I'll spell out that this is sarcasm so you can follow along.)

Race engines have been "freshened up" for years.  You run a season, a few
hard weekends, whatever, and freshen the engine up to keep peak power.  You
don't need a full rebuild, because in that time, you may have put only 10
miles on it in drag racing or a few hundred in road racing, but you still
want it at its freshest. It won't have enough wear to merit boring, hot
tanking, replacing all the parts, but it might need a valve job to keep the
top end tight or it might need bearings because oil pressure was down in
certain corners, but the rest stays put.

Now some of the top racing classes do essentially a full rebuild between
rounds, but they are playing for more money than most.

Don't come in arguing with Dad, you will usually lose.
