Re: [AMC-list] Coke 600 Toyota Camry Hybrid

This scenario kind of reminds me of what the big three did in 1971. They saw
the writing on the wall. Penske, Donohue and AMC was without a doubt going
to win the championship in SCCA Trans Am and there was nothing the big three
could do about it. Their answer was to pull all factory support on their
teams in an attempt to diffuse Penske/Donohue/AMC's glory. My guess is we'll
be seeing a similar occurrence in NASCAR soon.............

> Your eyes aren't fooling you, it was a Toyota Camry Hybrid pace car. They
started racing a couple of years ago and now are very competitive, dominant
almost. It's interesting how things are working out, with Chrysler in
bankruptcy I can't see any Dodges running next year, if GM goes into
bankruptcy I can't see them running either so it may be just Ford and
Toyota. Since Toyota has more money than Ford they can spend more money on
racing and have better cars, in that case Ford might as well drop out.
Question, will NASCAR fans go to the track to see a bunch of Toyotas run
round and round? I think it will be the end of NASCAR in short order. From
boom to bust in a very few years.
