Does that mean ASCS will switch too? Maybe by 2016?

Heard some of the ASCS teams use a high dollar coating to treat their aluminum block, so a magnet sticks. Anyone hear about that?

If an official can't tell the difference by eye, he needs another line of work.

I recall hanging around a building in Sun Prairie, away from Angell Park, while Doug Caruthers' VW was torn down by USAC after a Tommy Astone victory! A late Sunday night (before Interstate 39 cut a half hour or more off the trip) for a guy from Danvers, IL who was supposed to be at work at Caterpillar in Morton, IL at 7:30 AM Monday.
