If you have been watching the Science Channel over the past month, they have started dropping subtle hints. This was a big one... did you know that if Henry Ford had not won with the 999 in an auto race, there would not be a Ford Motor Company today?

Here's a photo I took of the old 999 in the Ford Museum...

Here's another bit of American racing history with Dan Gurney driving the 999. Hey didn't Gurney also drive the Ford GT?

Here's a website I did over 14 years ago about Ford's history that has some bearing on what is happening...

Flying Lizard used to be my favorite sportscar team. I've got all kinds of apparel with their name on it, but I have no clue who any of these people are.

AAR last had a hand in the Delta Wing, so I'll not necessarily be excited about any new project, especially if it involves the kind of Ford factory commitment that we have grown to (not) expect over the last 25 years.

AAR's last big glory was with the Toyota GTP. They capped that era in a dominant position.

I keep thinking about Gurney's description of driving the 999... "straddling that big flywheel which was the size of a manhole cover." That thought has made we twitch several times.

Henry Ford won with a race car called "Sweepstakes" to attract the backing needed to start the Ford Motor Company, not "999". 999 came later, after Ford was founded and was used to break several records, driven by Barney Oldfield.

THIS is the car responsible for the formations of Ford...

And just imagine, if Ford had fallen for Edison's con to make his car electric nobody would care about trying to make race cars efficient because production cars would already be.

I would assume that Krohn and Shank are working together on setups......I know I would be.

Yes the snakes are having splendid time in the series board meetings. Top notch bonus systems and healtcare benefits, easily accessible parking slots at Daytona Beach, and first class catering services provided. Spared no expense.

Oh right you meant the Vipers. Well I'm sure they're doing fine too

Woah. So the Delta Wing just ran a 1:39.536. So far, the leader (#01 CGR DP) holds a 1:39.397. Less than two tenths the gap.
