[Shotimes] OT - IRL Gen 4 Chevy, NOT!

It has been noted by all the magazines and I am sure some GM 
people are getting the boot by bosses, or the sly comment 
from friends/associates.

Personally, I think it says a lot about GM in a postive way 
that they go to an acknowledged expert in the field to help 
solve a problem.

Lots of companies have had to go to outside help to solve 
some problems, and in our global economy, I don't think it 
is a huge embarassment to GM to go to Cosworth.  Good 
engineering firms do work for a lot of companies, but 
usually it is kept quiet.

I was glad to see the new motor work as well as it did and 
was rooting for a win out of the box, but that last corner 
pass was well set up and perfectly executed.  I didn't see 
if anyone interviewed Hornish, but he should have been proud 
of the way he raced and the result.  A disappointment to 
lose after leading for so long, but it was a great race, and 
CLEAN racing by real pros.
