What's left of the factory distributed engines after the NASCAR engine
"builders" get through with them?


I don't follow NASCAR at all, but from what little I've seen, it seems that
today fans identify more with the drivers, racing teams and organizations
than the brand of car. Makes sense because all the cars look the same
anyway. Even those purchased and driven by the public pretty much look
alike now-a-days.

Not so back in the '60's. Then, a NASCAR Ford, Chevy, Dodge or Plymouth
looked like the one sitting in your parent's driveway, except it had a big
number and some stickers on it. Then, you related to the car brand. The
manufacturers knew that and it coined the term "Win on Sunday, buy on
Monday".

There's no relationship between the cars the big boys race and what you
can buy at your dealers. There was in the past, when there were "stock
cars" or close to stock cars being raced.
