Ferrari Mailing List: Daytona 24 Hours - Penske

[Red5hilser (Red5hilser]

Ever wonder why Roger Penske is a billionaire these days? imho, it's his  
100% commitment to the task at hand. I'm watching a perfect example now.
 
His #16 Porsche powered Daytona prototype, in a position to win the 24,  
limped into the pits with some terminal problems in the rear end of the car.  
Penske, who had been in his scoring stand in the pits all night, followed the  
car 
back to the garage, and supervised the crew as the exchanged the entire back  
of the car out, from the rear bulkhead back, with a waiting replacement.  The 
job took all of 10 (ten) minutes before it was back on the track turning  
laps as fast, or faster than the leaders. WOW!
 
I first read about him an a 1958 Road & Track. His father, a sucessful  
Philly lawyer had bought him an RSK Spyder while the kid was still in college 
as  a 
birthday present. The 1st time out, Rodger won a hillclimb, and a week later  
won a regional SCCA Sports Car race. R&T was impressed by this then unknown,  
and so was I.
 
Anyway, it's back to SpeedTV and the 24. Oh, I almost forgot. Hey cLyDe,  yer 
favorite driver, Juan Pablo Montoilet, the Cocaine King is running in 2nd  
piloting one of Chip Gannasi's cars. I know you'll be waving your Columbian 
flag 
 to cheer him on!
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba
