<< McClaren builds almost 100% of the parts, with the exception of the
engines, which come from Mercedes/Ilmore (originally Roger Penske's Chevy
small block motors). >>
Not exactly - How about "(IImore is the same source as the Chevy sponsored,
Illmore designed, Indy race motor that Penske, and others used at Indy in the
1990's)" - That is the correct description, No Chevrolet small block parts
were used in the design of this motor, or any Ilmore motor.
It was a great insider report. I'm envious - All I got to do was watch and
tape the race on Speedvision and Fox Sports. - Seth Emerson
