eTN haiku

A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (Locked down several times a year during the major championships)

Fear not, dear trackstar
For the night is still yet young
The staff is on it

Wednesday morning dawns
There is still no eTN
What is one to do?

Some men dream of girls
For others it's a fast car
We want eTN!
