Check out a good used Toyota Supra '91-'89.  They fit in the given price range.
I have a 6'5" friend who fits into the Supra quite comfortably.

So the obvious question is, who and in what had the previous
record?  I assume it may be another IndyCar Team (Penske?) or
perhaps an IMSA GTP.

Of course, we all must remember that we're talking testing 
times here, as Firebird has never witnessed an IndyCar or
IMSA event.

Some news from the local papers.

Steve Nicholl has left Sauber. He wanted to be called chief designer instead
of Leo Ress and when Peter Sauber didn't accept this, he left. Nicholl is
said to be looking for work at McLaren.

Patric Love who has been developing active suspension at Williams has joined
McLaren. It seems that Ron Dennis wants to get people with proven skill in
his team.

Ligier is getting the semi automatic gearbox from Williams. This in combination
with Renault V10 could lift Ligier to be one of the top 6-7 teams.

Martin Brundle is going to INDY? It seems that Tom Wilkinshaw is going to race
several cars at a copule of INDY-races. Martin Brundle would drive one of them.

A McLaren spokesman has said that they will announce the engine deal for 1993
this week (it's Friday morning local time now). At the same time they will 
announce the name of the second driver.

Thats all for now. I haven't seen anything mentioned about these bits of news
in r.a.s. before, so could someone correct me if I have got it all wrong.

The Charlotte race _could_ be the Mello Yello 500 in October.  The thing 
which concerns me, if true _and_ with Hendrick for all of the races, is the 
possibility of Hendrick Motorsport spreading itself too thin with four cars 
& drivers.  I guess that only time will tell.

What's the deal with the "petroleum" sponsorship deals?  A previous post 
mentioned that Hendrick is losing Exxon as an associate sponsor, Hagan lost 
Sunoco, Cale lost Phillips 66, and Unocal announced that it was pulling out 
of Winston Cup.  Hmm...  That leaves Valvoline, Havoline (Texaco), Pennzoil, 
Citgo, and Quaker State as primary sponsors and Amoco, Shell, and Mobil One as 
associates (maybe BP?).

Maybe Senna will drive a third car for Junior.  Now that would be an 
interesting owner - driver relationship :-)

Honda's Press Release of January 7th, 1993:

DETROIT - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today announced at
the North American International Auto Show that it intends
to participate in the PPG Indy Car World Series at the be-
ginning of the 1994 season.  A new subsidiary company, Honda
Performance Development, Inc. has been established to supply
engines for a "flagship" Indy car team, with testing beginning
in 1993.

According to American Honda Executive Vice President Thomas G.
Elliott, the company's Indy car program will have two major
objectives:  to provide a valuable marketing opportunity to
Honda in North America, and to give valuable experience to
Honda's U.S. engineers and technicians.

"Challenges have always been important to the growth and success
of Honda," said Elliott.  "Indy car racing is this type of challenge.
Participation in Indy car racing can serve as a catalyst that ties
together our vast, growing sales, production and R&D operations in
North America.  Certainly, it will help us expand our R&D and
engineering cababilities in the U.S. and provide Honda with distinct
marketing opportunities."

Honda Performance Development Inc. will manage the Indy car engine
program.  The new company will be based in Valencia, California, 30
miles north of Los Angeles.  It will serve as a technical operations
center and will oversee Honda's participation in the Indy car racing
series.  Elliott will serve as president of Honda Performance Develop-
ment, Inc. in addition to his responsibilities as executive vice
president of American Honda.

To staff this expansion of its U.S. racing activities, Honda plans to
recruit experienced American personnel from within Honda and the
motorsports community.  Plans also call for association with a
"flagship" Indy car team with an announcement expected in the near
future.

..or because they wanted to find a series where it would cost less to
win..  i don't see any indication that they will spend less or equal
to the amounts that the other teams are spending.  all we know is that
they will spend less than what they did in F1.

nigel roebuck wrote that honda goes racing as part of an overall
business venture.  win on sunday sell on monday mentality.  i think
that in all probability they will spend what it takes to win.  it
makes perfect sense for them to concentrate on the american arena
since this is where their cars are popular and they can cash in more
on the successes here than in europe.  imagine a honda powered car
winning the indy 500.  we'll be seeing 100 page ad supplements in

well they still managed to build some very very powerful engines when

power out of a boost limited methanol burning turbo.  still, i'm
excited to see how they will change things in indycar racing.

History has shown that it takes a couple of years to become dominant 
irrespective of the cash you throw at the problem.  Reliability doesn't
seem to be something you can just do with cash, you gotta blow up a bunch
of motors first to find out how to make 'em last.

Remember too that the Ford and Chevy fuel management systems are highly
refined and their secrets pretty well guarded.  Honda's got some work to
do...

As well, the IndyCar guys have thrown in a bunch of rules to limit the
amount of expensive tech in the engine.  No engines with >8 cylinders,
no unobtanium rods, rules about availability (ie: no exclusives for 
one team forever), etc.

All in all, Honda's pretty whizzed about some of these rules but the
IndyCar guys will work with 'em if their money's green.

I don't have those, but it reminded me of something 
related to pass along.  My partner Craig Armstrong
has picked up a side job with Daytona radio station
WNDB for the period Feb. 5-14th.  I guess they're the
local station for any related racing news during 
Speedweeks.  He'll be putting together interviews for
them to air, along with some pit-road coverage.  

Craig's brother Fred is a part-timer with MRN, and 
he'll once again begin his Daytona duties with the
24-hours and continuing thru the 500, mostly from
his usual spot outside turns 3-4.  Fred had the
unfortunate experience to have to call Davey's
wreck at Talladega last year, but he did a very
professional job.  I believe CBS used his call
for their broadcasts of the incident afterwards.

The MRN guys have to be real careful about their
off-the-air chatter these days because of all the
folks with scanners these days.

....and I get to stay home and watch it on tv :-(

I am replying to you directly since this doesn't have anything to do
with rec.autos.racing (don't wanna get flamed, ya know?).

Anyways, the factory tires were standard 205/60-14 radials.  So, I don't
know where your brother got this.  In fact, I run 205/55-14 fronts and
215/60-14 rears on the factory rims.  I race on 205/60-14 on the factory
rims.  So, there isn't anything "special" about the tires.  Must be
another car your brother is thinking about.  Maybe he is thinking about
the '80s Mustang that came with the special TRX wheels and Michelin (sp?)
tires?
