I stopped in my friends shop today and took some pictures.

This Daytona Prototype finished 4th at Watkins Glenn Saturday.

Note the oil to water exchanger and the (Gag) Fram oil filter. The frame
is to keep other cars out of this critical area. This series will be
100% NASCAR in a month or two.

The engine is a Roush Ford detuned to 500 HP. Often the whole field is
inside of 2 seconds. Big name drivers, Name brand chassis and engines.
This is a Riley chassis. Built in Indianapolis. Root for the 6 car Blue
and black and the 60 car Orange and black, next Saturday at Mid Ohio.
This team is owned by my old crew chiefs son Mike Shank.

The RX8 runs in the GT class. They "adjust" the weight I think just like
the GT class. It is not really car racing as all the cars have the same
chassis and body for the most part. Only the engine varies in the Prototype
class. Boring to me. Yes there are one or two other chassis's but most are Riley. Typical
of Nascar where the Nascar engine of the futures has a four barrel carb and pushrods
are mandatory :) I tune them out and watch the just the GT race within.

No pictures came through Lynn.
