Agreed! It puts a smile on my face to see those colors on the track!

I wish they would go back to the Pettys as the primary! Wouldn't that be the way to kick off Daytona next year?!?!?

No doubt about it, Phil.

No one should have a problem with it, IF it is. That's what several are advocating the veterans do to Logano.

I had forgot all about that. Thanks for the reminder.
I also agree that if you advocate drivers to do it to one driver, you shouldn't complain when one does it to another one.

To those of you who watched the CTS race yesterday, what did you think of Jack Roush's fly-over in his P-51? I'm not sure about the two T-4's flying wing but seeing the P-51 was a blast!

I sure wish Jack could find a P-40 to restore and fly. He could paint it like one of Chennault's Flying Tigers. Now, THAT would be something to behold!

Ever had the joy and privilege of seeing Bob Hoover perform? In line 16 Rolls Royce. A sound unlike near any/all other of the WWII fighter aircraft. If so (seeing Hoover), after the 51, his routine in the Shrike Commander is little less than astounding.

Never had the pleasure of seeing Hoover and his Shrike, but have read about it.

However, when I was a little Bobby (around 1950, I think), I remember going to Cincinnati for an air show and one of the planes they had there were a couple of Vickers British Spitfires. I know it used the RR engine and I think it was the 16 cyl. I remember being amazed by the roar and the maneuverability of the little plane.

Back in '76 I was on the British carrier Ark Royal for a few days. They were using a single counter-rotating prop module on one of their anti-sub planes. I can't remember the name or even the make but it was wicked fast, for a prop and could go vertical like a Tomcat. Someone told me that it used one of the RR engines.

I have an affinity for old cars and old airplanes.
