Hey Larry (or anyone else out there): Does anyone remember when Enzo got into (another) pissing contest with the FIA and was threatening to pull out of F1 and go to the Indy Series instead? Hell, he even built a one-off car to current Indy specs. I think it was 1992. I saw photos of it, and it was beautiful. It was an Indy car all right, but all Ferrari too, if you know what I mean, right down to the Cavallino shields on the sides. I forgot whether it ever ran or not, but the mere thought of Ferrari bolting to the Colonies, put the fear of Enzo into the FIA, and they caved, compelely. Reminds me of an old Hearld-Examiner friend, Steve Hearst, (great Grandson of WR, who I worked with back in the days that he was learning the newspaper racket. After learning the fundamentals of newspapers, the Corp. put him in charge of Hearst Properties, a job that his dad once held.. They own millions of acres all over the world. Wanting to prove himself to Daddy George?and the big shots in NYC, he pulled a scam on the State of California that brought tears to?these old eyes. They own all the land down to the water?and around the Hearst Castle in San Simeon (the ranch, as they call it). 80,000 acres in all. So Steve, brought in surveyors, planners, lawyers, and architects and proceded to plan to build a large resort/hotel right on the unspoiled ocean. I heard that all that cost just over $1 million dollars?to do?that. Of course when the State Coastal Commission heard about it, they soiled their Lederhosen. The long and short of it was, that after a little over a year of pissing and moaning, the State agreed to give Steve and the Hearst Corp. $100 Millon dollars NOT to build for the next 50 years. That works out better than Hillary's foray into the Futures Market, don't it?. Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba -----Original Message----- From: LarryT No argument there!?? Seeing the last of the front engined cars running (somewhat behind) them new fangled rear engined furrin things was great!?? ? I *was* poking a little fun at F1 and stock engines but it is a pretty good idea.? I wonder how Ferrari would level the playing field - I suspect a custom Ferrari engine would be miles ahead of a Ford crate engine.? Unless the Ford was tweaked of course, but then you're getting back to the same place you are now.? Maybe just give everyone a jegs.com or Summit Racing?catalog and tell them they can buy anything in the?catalog! ? On the other hand, F1 is a little like the US Gov - whenever there's a problem the answer is always more regulations!? Then there's the simplified tax regs. which always adds tens of thousands of words/pages to the regs??- That no one understands of course.? ;-) ?

Hey Larry: Don't laugh. I can remember when Dan Gurney came to Indy with stock block Ford engines, stuffed into his Eagle chasis. And the combo was not only competitive, but won several races. And that was in the time of 4-cam Ford Indy engines and turbo-charged Offenhausers, etc. I don't remember if those were the years of Andy Granitebelly's Lotus/Wooshmobiles, but they were a sight ot see (but NOT hear) too. Who was it that said, "if you can't find a loophole in the rules, or can't cheat without being detected, you're just another LOSER!" God love Andy (with his STP logo outfits, suit, shirt, and tie'), wherever he is. Yea, Dan may have tricked?the Fords?out with Westlake-Gurney heads and F1 type slide fuel injection, but the heart of the engine was still a stock block, cast iron Ford. I can only speak for myself, but that was some of the most exciting racing that I've ever seen, bar none. Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba -----Original Message----- From: LarryT Tom wrote <<Max wants standard engines in F1>> Hmmmm... maybe Chevy or a Ford V8? Hey, Jegs and Summit have them in their catalogs! Maybe grab some 4 bbl Holly's too? Why not run street tires? could probably get a deal on some re-treads!
