      If I heard right during the broadcast Max is the Grandson of the owner, not son.

        today was not a waste then. Always wondered why those trannys were so expensive.

          It was not a bert or brinn transmission. Apparently it was a Rankin that once in high gear disenages the other gears. No real advantage at short tracks, but apparently its pretty big at Daytona. Bottomline it shouldnt have been in there, but he would have still dominated the race without it.

              Is there an echo in here?......

              There it is.....again.

              "Well, we'd have won anyways even without the little boost we were gettin' from that nitrous fogger we hid under the hood......we just wanted to see if it would help our uh...fuel mileage....that's all. Our driver is so good we don't need any uhfair advantages. Hell, we forgot it was even there, to tell ya the truth.....anyways, it's been in there for the last 1/2 season, and nobody's told us it was illegal yet. What's the problem?"


              Gimme a break.

                and there are 50 guys still alive that know about it even today you could turn 6 cyclinder9000 rpm's or more sounded like hiabusa when you reved it up came off corner like fast fast and when you let off of it in corners it shut down quick

                we got tore down ever week at auburndale and golden gate wanted look at engine never got caught

                  yeah Ronnie

                  Eddie King ran a Ford 300 6 against V-8's and beat the regularly. I don't know how many RPM's they were turning but a lot more than every body else. Bob..

                      No - but sadly I value my job way too much to put anything into Google on my work computer that would produce the kind of picture I needed to Photoshop something effectively...
