Roush had two Chase drivers last season and owner Jack Roush admitted to falling behind this year on testing the Car of Tomorrow. But he had a warning for other teams after the Pepsi 400. "I was maybe complacent about the mile-and- half stuff we had in the past, thinking it was good enough and at the same time got behind doing things, that say, the Hendrick organization was doing to its advantage as related to the testing of the Car of Tomorrow," he said. "We're not caught up on that yet, but we're certainly on the path and we'll be heard from more before the year is over." -- Rocky Mountain News

It's a good headline but where'd you get that from? :)

I suppose you could say it tells them to watch out. I just hope he figures out what's happened to the "bug-eyed dummy". I'd like to see Greg run well.

Quiet ok. You might have to do as I did and have lasik surgery. I love it but have to have only reading glasses now.

All jokes aside, I've heard it messes up your night vision and my night vision has been bad since a chop stick incident from my teen years.

Just wondering, how do you like it so far? Cause I've been considering it.

I had it in May 1996. I would do it again in a second. My glasses were really thick. I had really bad astigmatism. I also had bifocals. Now I have 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 in the other. Of course one was worse to start with. I have no problems with night vision. I think you are talking about the old surgeries. With the old way you had halo's. With the new kind you don't have them.

Here is the link to the place I had mine. I had mine in Johnson City, TN. I think this place has clinics everywhere though.

I would imagine that you'd have to think that there's truth to Jack's words. How many cars of his were in the chase the year before? NASCAR people admitted that the car cap rule was implemented specifically for Jack Roush.
I look forward to seeing if his words ring true.
Go Ford.
 
Update

Roush COT Testing in Full Swing: Entering this weekend's USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicago, Ford and Roush finally look like a match for the Chevys. "The big thing that has helped us with the Car of Tomorrow is we now have a test team," [Jack] Roush said. "We are doing the things I thought we weren't going to be allowed to do when NASCAR told us we couldn't take tires from the racetrack because they didn't want us to test. I thought they would put teeth in that, but they didn't. We got behind. But five weeks ago I hired six people and dedicated a tractor-trailer [for testing]. We've been to Iowa, Milwaukee four times in the last month, and Road Atlanta and VIR [Virginia International Raceway]." Roush's three 2007 victories have come with NASCAR's current car, and the Chicagoland race also will feature the current car. But if Roush Fenway is going to compete with the Chevy teams for the championship, it will have to have a strong COT program. "We're not caught up yet," Roush said. "But we're certainly on the path, and we'll be heard from more before the year is over."(Tampa Tribune)(7-13-2007)

Thanks for info.

I guess I get a bit antsy when it comes to people messing with my ears and eyes so I've been putting it off.

It's not that my vision is that bad I just despise wearing glasses :growl:

Anyway, I'm done hijacking this thread now.
