i find it hard to believe the Honda IRL motor was designed and built by
Ilmor.

Believe it - do your own research... Google. When Honda quit CART, HPD was
to be closed down; they did a deal with Ilmor for a revised version of the
old Ilmor/M.B. CART lump. Of course it's now been down-sized for the new
IRL rules. My info is that Ilmor is an active participant in the
continuing development of the engine

Yeah, F1 is REAL racing ... not this limited power,
going-around-in-circles nonsense.

In North America, Limerock Park was the place to be on Memorial Day
weekend. >:^D

You bet! I haven't thought about Lime Rock in ages. I was a member of
the Porsche club in the 70's and my chapter rented Lime Rock 2 weekends
a year. Going 100+ mph on an Interstate is *nothing* like driving on a
track. God, that was fun!

Did you see any TV cameras there? Just wondering if we'll get to see it
later, maybe on Speed Channel... in between all the roundy-round crap?
Other than that, the best stuff I see now on TV is the bikes. I'm hoping
we get decent coverage of Le Mans next week.... GO ZYTEK.:-)

One of the best days of "racing" I've attended is the student Formula SAE
competition... in the Pontiac Silverdome parking lot.;-)
