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

[Steve Tatro]

That's another good point.  I see nothing but good, clean racing with
the IRL guys (and girl).  I see some real immature behavior by some
NASCAR drivers, and some vinditive retaliation.  Heck, they even make
post-race comments indicating that so-and-so should "watch out" at the
next track.

Another reason I'm such an IRL fan.

The only problem the IRL has (which was notable worse at the beginning
of the year) was the deer-in-headlights driving of AJ Foyt IV.  He'll
quickly mature into a decent driver, and I wish him well.  I've been a
member of the AJ Foyt Jr. Fan Club since I was 7 years old!

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.
