Mark Donohue wrote a little about that inhis autobiography.  Apparently
when the engine had a few miles on it, everything seated a little

HP bump.  He did that on a few races, when he thought he needed more
power (which, for Mark, was ALWAYS).  :-)

I'd say that the Captain can say with certainty that the chasis is irrelevant
this year...1-2 finish and it could have gone either way.

I don't think you'd sink to quite those depths though to troll.  :)  Not yet
