Re: DAYTONA
I am heading there on Thursday. Been following Daytona since 1963. Never been and I am looking forward to the 50th anniversary. Though I would go while they still run American cars. I believe NASCAR stands for North American Stock Car. not North ASIAN STOCK CAR.

Re: DAYTONA
I have a good friend that works for Penske Racing, he told me that the first Toyota engine that Gibb put together they picked up 35 HP over the TRD built engines, thats a pretty big jump!

Re: DAYTONA
Not meaning to sound like a jerk or anything by asking this, but why would a guy who works at Penske know the horsepower increase of a Gibbs-built Toyota engine?? Or rather, how would he know?
For a brief second it kind of brings to mind the whole mclaren-ferrari scandle

Re: DAYTONA
All these guys have worked for different teams at one time or another and know each other and talk very often, its a very close knit group, they know how much power the other is pulling, its bragging rights among them.
