After reading all the trials and tribulations that the "G Clan" goes through(put them selves through?) in a mad thrash right before drag week begins, I can't help but think of "dog years".
You know, a dog ages 7 years for one human year.
Seems like the way the G Clan does it there has to be some added wear and tear on the body and mind. I don't know what the correct ratio would be, but it sure seems like maybe they're getting 3 or 4 drag weeks worth of blood, sweat, and drama stuffed into one drag week.

Great story telling as usual Billy!!
